HowTo: Post pictures in the Forum 
Modified By Tom Halladay  on 4/23/2008 9:09:16 PM)

There are a couple of things you need first:

1) To be logged into this website.  This does not mean you need to be a WTC member, just that you have created an account here, and are logged in.

2) To have a photo uploaded online on another website  (WTC does not host photos for members or non-members).  You can use a free website like Flickr, Shutterfly, Photobucket, or any other to actually upload the photos online.  General rule of thumb; if you can see a picture in a web browser, you can embed it in the forums.

Once you've gotten that taken care of, here are the steps to display a photo on these forums:

1) On the photo you want to embed, Right-Click on the image, and select Properties

 

2)  Highlight & Copy the Address/URL of the image onto your clipboard

3) Create a new thread on our Forums (or reply to another thread)

 

 

4) Fill in a title of the new thread, and then click the Insert Image button

 

 

5) Paste the image Address / URL into the URL textbox on the window that pops up

 

 

6) Submit the image

 

 

7) Submit the post

 

 

8)  Hopefully, enjoy the finished product!

 

 

9) Leave comments on other people's images.  They took the time to upload & display the photo.  Let them know their work is appreciated!

Re: HowTo: Post pictures in the Forum 

I'm still trying to get my photo from Snapfish to the website. I got 2 error messages, and other lines, too. Am I doing something wrong or doesn't Snapfish allow me to do this?  The url I'm trying to post is:

http://images2b.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp533%3C8%3Evq%3D3233%3E266%3E876%

It appears that Snapfish does NOT allow "hot-linking".  This would probably explain why you are not able to embed the images from snapfish.  Many photo posting places DO allow hot-linking, so you might have to try a different photo hosting website. I would suggest Flickr.

ThePhotoForum - Article: Places to Upload your Photos

 

 Supposedly  Shutterfly and Photobucket also allow hot-linking too, although I believe photobucket has some limitations.

Please remove Snapfish from this list so other people don't have the same problem I did that Snapfish doesn't allow their site to be used this way.

Thanks!

Re: HowTo: Post pictures in the Forum 

When I upload from Flickr, the photos are so small you can barely see them on the forum post.  How do I get them bigger?

You might be trying to use the thumbnails.

1)  Go to your uploaded photos (or Set)  IE: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wtc_paddlers/sets/72157605395284171/

2) Click on the photo you want to embed  IE: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wtc_paddlers/2544487407/in/set-72157605395284171/

3) If you don't like the size of the picture showing, look for the "All Sizes" button right above the photo  IE: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wtc_paddlers/2544487407/sizes/o/in/set-72157605395284171/

4) Pick a smaller or larger photo size

5) Use that photo with the above instructions
