Posting Photos

[claycookiemonster]

I may (fingers crossed) be getting back into the construction game. As such, I'm reviewing how to post photos here. I know I need another photo hosting site to hold the pics and I post the links here, but why is it that sometimes the photo itself comes thru in the post while other times the link becomes part of the post and I have to click on it to see the photo? What's the diff?

Just guessing but some sites don't let you "share" the image in a forum. In that case you can only post a web address to the actual photo. I use photobucket for lack of any good reason. It works.

Clay, you need to make sure that when you are posting you use the "Image" code or URL link and not the "HTML" , "HTTP" or "Direct" code. The difference is this:

IMG Code or URL link looks like this:


"HTML" , "HTTP" or "Direct" codes looks like this :

For your viewing pleasure - - - - Hope that helps. Just make sure you "insert Image" on the forums and not "insert link" (fixed it Mike, ty)

Actually, it is "insert image", not insert picture.

Square yellow box with mountain and sun in it.

Hey Clay,

Photobucket works great. Upload your photo there, then click on IMG (bottom box under the "Share Links" section). It'll flash "Copied" for a second. The go to your post and paste it in from your browser. Good luck!

The easiest way to post pictures from Google Photos / Picasa.

Go to your photos using the following link:
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/myphotos?noredirect=1

1. Select the photo you want to share.
2. Click "Link to this photo"
3. Click "Image only (no link)"
4. Copy the "Embed image" link.

In your post:

1. Click "Insert image" (the icon withe the yellow and the mountain)
2. paste the link you copied from step 4 above.
3. Click "Ok"
4. Click "Preview post"
You should see your image. If you do, go ahead and submit your post/reply.

yeah, that was at Osh this year... I was started to walk up and ask her if I could take her picture (the plane that is) and she looked at me, then looked down and started texting Oh well. I wouldn't want to look at me either so I clicked away. Absolutely beautiful. . . I'm referring to the Mustang of course.
