....insert those images to your post using the following code structure:
[img]http://link.to.uploaded.image.file.jpg[/img]
I forgot to add that this is how I usually attach images to my posts. I have a
photobucket.com account where I upload pics and then link them to my post using the image tags.
[img].....enter......image........URL........location........here.....[/img]Also, many of the pictures I post are not actually mine. I
search for them and copy their URL location and then add them to my posts, like this:
This way I can keep typing below the image which allows additional responses regarding the image I placed above. I did not upload that image above, I just copied it's URL from some other website and used the img /img tags to insert it into this post.
Just remember that if the image is like 1600x1200 pixels, it will be HUGE on this forum and will be difficult to view. Try to resize images to 800 wide by 600 tall or smaller if possible. Just use the
width= height= option to downsize large images.
Two things to remember:
- If the image is too large and you need to downsize it using the built in width= height= option, then you'll need to retain the images aspect ratio so it doesn't look distorted. For instance, the image I linked to above can be easily distorted by manually over-riding its width and height values, like this:
- Some websites don't allow Hot Linking so even through you enter the proper img code, the image may not appear on the forum. If this happens you'll need to either save the image from the source website and then either attach it to your post or upload to an image hosting website (as described in my previous post), or you'll need to search Google for another copy of the image if possible.
