Posting Pictures from my Computer ... Using the Attachments feature

[Yppe]

I'm trying to post pictures that I have in my computer but I don't know how to do it, I only kwow how to post picture from websites.
What I have to do for post a picture that I have in my computer?

Sometimes it's easier with a visual that with an explanation..
so I've added a couple of screenshots to give you an idea.

1st Attachment : Press the grey Manage Attachment button

After pressing the grey select button a window with your C-drive (thats you computer where you keep your pictures..documents etc) should pop up.

Select the picture of your choice (double click it) and the select window (eg my 2nd attachment) pops up again

Press the grey Upload button in the right side of the window

Once the pictures are uploaded it will show under Additional Options (see 3rd attachment)

If I misunderstood and you have no problems with adding attachments but want pictures..not attachments to show I suggest you follow all the steps just mentioned THEN *click* the link (like the once shown in 3rd attachment) a window should pop up see 4th attachment

Copy the Url (addy)

Press the Insert Image Icon above your text area (the little yellow square one with mountains and a sun)

Insert the url

and voila..

Thanks, Hanne, I've understood your explanation, but my picture is too big for the attach mode.

Do you know how to shrink attachments ?
what image programs do you have ?

[Hanne]

If you don't have any you could always google : free image resizer
but take care you get a "clean" program

OK, I'm lost...

How can I post thumbnails???

As far as I know the way you post thumbnails is to get a imageshack account (or a similar account) to upload your images to. I know imageshack gives the option of just posting a thumbnail..but since there is no limitation on how much you can store..I usually go for the full image or if I want an image shown somewhere inbetween in size I go for tFS's own image attacher (explanation as to how tFS's image attacher works is explained above)

I just posted few pictures and they appeared as full pictures and thumbnails below... What should I do to post only thumbnails - is "Decrease Size" has something to do with it?

[Little Star]

What do you do when you've used up all your attachment space??
Just curious...

however, I don't get the pictures appearing, just a filename.extension...

If you are on a PC as oppossed to a Mac you probably allready have a resizer on it without knowing



You can resize your pictures w. Paint

Select File > Open > and find your picture in your directory

Once you’ve selected your picture press: Ctrl + W

By changing the % of the image horizonatally AND vertically you alter the image size.

Voila

how do you put an image up with it being an 'attachment'??
