How to post pictures - please read...

[jd6820]

Hi there,

There are two ways of posting pictures depending on where you get the pictures from. See below for both tutorials, anyone having any technical difficulties, just send us a PM and i'll make additions to this thread posting solutions to peoples problems.

Please also see the final post in this thread as the forum now also supports 'Copy & Paste' and 'Drag & Drop' for adding photos!

If the file is currently on your computer (for instance, you have taken it off your digital camera)

 

[jd6820]

If the file is already on the internet (for instance, you have right clicked on an image and chosen 'Copy image URL')

Quick addition (Attachments):

For those who just want to have a selection of photo's to view without them being in the post itself, then simply upload the images as shown the the first method (click upload file > select image) BUT don't need to click 'thumbnail' or 'full image' as this adds the image into the text in your post! Rather than displaying as an attachment. You should have something like below...

Since the update in August, adding pictures to posts is now even easier

First the editor supports drag and drop.
You can simply 'drag' a picture from anywhere (ie. another website, or a picture on your desktop / My Documents) and 'drop' it on the reply editor. If the image was 'dragged' from your computer, it may take a while to upload, and you will then be able to chose whether you want to insert it as a thumbnail, or in full size.


Secondly, the editor supports copy and paste from other websites.
If you see an image on another website, or on a Google Images search result, you can simply right click on it, and click Copy.
You can then come back to the reply editor, and right click and choose Paste. The image will be automatically inserted in your post.

If you want to post a screenshot this is now also ridiculously easy - simply press Ctrl & Print Screen
And then go to the reply editor and right click -> Paste. The screenshot should appear.

How do you do this from an iPhone ?

How do you do this from an iPhone ?

Its not idea but:

Go to the image you want to copy

Tap it and hold, until it asks you whether you want to 'Save Image' or 'Copy'.
Click 'Copy'.

Open a new tab (or use the current tab you are in), delete everything that is in the address bar, and then paste in the picture you just copied.
Then select it all and copy it again.

Come back to the forum, open the reply editor, click on the picture icon in the buttons above the editor, and then paste in the address you copied earlier.


Or, you can just save the image to your phone and then upload it again.

Do you have a mobile phone with a decent camera?
Best option would be to take a picture of it, then upload it using the app.

I have taken the photo on my phone but cant seem to get it on here

The option appears below the text box that you would type the message in.
Is it possible that it is just out of sight? Could you make sure you have scrolled right to the bottom of the page to check please.

pit.

You need to upload video to a hosting site eg youtube, vimeo or other, then post a link.
