Posting pictures on MHF
« on: May 06, 2009, 11:42:28 AM »
Picture Posting Instructions;(from rgfixit with a few modifications from Bean)

Your photos must be stored online in order to post them.

FULL List of photo storing sites
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_image-sharing_websites

You can open a free account with
https://cubeupload.com/
http://postimg.org/  no account required*
http://imgur.com/

For other photo storage sites that don't install the "img" codes onto your photo addresses, you'll have to add them manually.

To add an Avatar picture to your account...

1st - resize the picture you want to a maximum of 120 x 120 pixels on your computer.
2nd - open up another window to your photo sharing account.
3rd - Left click on direct link for that picture (this will copy the photo info)
4th - Open your Iceshanty "profile", then click on "forum profile information" and paste the address to the "I have my own picture" box and check that box. .
5th - Then click on the "change profile" button on the bottom right of that page.
Your avatar should now be displayed in all your posts. You can change your avatar at any time

To post pictures to the site...

1. Upload your pictures to your photo sharing.
2. Resize any pictures you'd like to post to a maximum of 640x480 pixels. Larger pictures distort the forum page and take longer to load. This can be done easily in windows paint.
3. Open your photo sharing and find the photo you want to use. Click on the 'IMG Code" or direct link and the picture url will be automatically copied to your "clipboard".
4. Go to your post you want to add it to on iceshanty.com, right click and "paste" the info.
(if you copy the image code, it already has the "img" tags on the address and no further action is needed.)


For other photo storage sites that don't install the "img" codes onto your photo addresses, you'll have to add them manually.

The "Add BBC tags:" tool bar is at the top of every message dialog below the "Subject" dialog box and the "Message icon". In the lower row, click on the 2nd icon from the left...the "Insert Image" icon(it looks like a small picture).

The command [ img][/img] will appear in your text message.
Paste the address of your picture between the commands like this;
[ img]paste your image location here [ /img]
Be sure not to add any spaces or other characters.

Preview your post to be sure your picture is there and then choose post.
