How to post pictures and videos

[Sherry]

You can post single pictures directly from your computer or a photo sharing site, but will need to use something like photobucket(it's free) or youtube for multiple pictures and/or videos.
To post from photobucket, create an account there, and upload your pictures/videos. Once they've uploaded there, scroll over them, and click on the "IMG" in the drop down window. That will copy them, and simply paste them in your reply window here
For those using Picasso, it seems your links don't work, but try dropping the "s" from the "https".
Another link that works is tiny pic tinypic.com/ Use the link for message boards. You can also create an account and save/sort your pics.
You may not be able to post the actual picture, but at least you can put up a working link

*Edited to add- you can no longer attach photos directly from your phone or computer as we now have a very finite amount of storage space. So using a photo sharing site is essential.



**Edit. Photobucket is now no longer recommended as a photo sharing site.

If I reply (as in the live pray thread..show us your fuzzies eating) I push on the button and click on the photo from my computer..it just shows up as
no photo!
I`m doing something wrong! LOL

It's easier to upload them to something like Photobucket first. If you use Photobucket, you don't need the insert image button. After you upload the picture, there will be links under it. Just copy the IMG code and paste it directly into your post.

Thanks. I am on dial up so photobucket is not an option for me...takes to long to down load and it times out! LOL
I can post one photo at a time though, I just found out. But hate to post and post to get a few up for just one message or reply : )

You can always edit your posts after putting them up.

[sereena]

really? How do you do that?

[bluemoose]

If you look at the top of your post after you post it, there's an option to modify between the quote and delete buttons. Hit that, make your changes, and hit the modify post button to repost.

I was able to post one photo in "Only Ferret". But I cannot get any other photos to post anywhere. Any ideas on the problem?

[Sherry]

How are you posting them? As an attachment from your computer, or from a photo sharing site?

The first one that posted was from my computer/attachment. Then I tried to do the same thing and it didn't work. So I tried the image shack link (numerous times) and it didn't work. I then tried doing it with an account in image shack (numerous times) and that didn't work.
In each of these, I had cropped the photos. I am going to try to crop them even more and see if they are still too big. The Mb size says they are small enough, but I haven't tried it yet. Here goes...

AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!
I'm off to the other thread to test my luck there.

[Sherry]

Not sure what the problem is. That one worked well.

I don't know what I was doing wrong before; that was the frustrating part. I'll take what I can get. Computers....

Hi. I was wondering how you post the banner with photos below your text messages?

[Sherry]

You have to make them with a program like paintshop on your computer, or one of the art programs you can buy. Once that's done, save it to your desktop, then transfer it to a photosharing site like photobucket.
After that's done, use the img code in the appropriate section in your profile
