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


Posting on the forum

Tinypic

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

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

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

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


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

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

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.


600px

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

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

You'll then be presented with this screen:
