Adding Images - other methods

[Aussie Sapphire]

We encourage everyone to use the Gallery for adding images as this gives you more features - ie. comments, keywords, categorisation, etc.

However, there are 2 other ways to add pictures to your posts.

a)   use Image Shack or Photobucket image hosting services - these store your images and you need to use the forum/bulletin board code supplied to add them to your posts.

OR

b)  simply add them as an attachment to your post when composing your message.  This is a very simple method but does make it a bit harder for other members to see your photos once the post drops down the list over time.

When using Method B) - just click the Additional Options button at the bottom of the text entry box - this allows you to directly upload a file and attach it to your post.  The size limit is smaller for this method compared to using the Gallery.

OK. I've added 3 images to the gallery. How do I add them to a post? I found the attachment bit in Additional Information but I can't figure out how to add them at a specific point in the text and that adds them straight from my hard drive, not the gallery.

Gday Andrea,

You need to use the instructions in the pinned topic in this board.

When you upload a picture to the gallery, there are some code options below the image.

Use the BBC Embed Code option which looks like this:

Code: [Select]

When you put that in your message, it will load the picture as a thumbnail like this:
