Revision as of 18:02, 9 April 2013

To post a photo or picture on the wiki and forum requires two different procedures.


Posting on the forum

The forum software cannot store photos, so you will need to save your photo somewhere on the internet where the forum has constant access to it.


Tinypic

There are several sites which will save or host photos for you. This example shows Tinypic, as being one of the easiest to use.

Step 1


Go to tinypic.com by clicking this link and you should be presented with a page like this:

Ignore all the adverts and flashing graphics, you're only interested in the highlighted area.


Step 2


Click "Browse" and a window like this should appear:

This window shows the files stored on your computer. Find the file you wish to upload, highlight it and click "Open".


Step 3

Back on the tinypic page, select "Image" or "Video" as appropriate. Click the resize drop down and select either (800x600) or (640x480). The first will give a slightly larger picture, but either will do.


Step 4


Click "UPLOAD NOW!" and you'll be presented with a captcha screen like this (it's just deterrent to spammers):

Follow the instructions on the captcha screen and click "UPLOAD NOW!".


Step 5


You'll then be presented with this screen:

Highlight the code in the "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards", copy it and paste it where you want the photo to appear in your forum post.
