Welcome! and How to Post Photos

[Administrator]

Hello,

Welcome!, to the Vintage Caravans Forum with the exciting new feature of Members Photo Album. Here you can send in your photos and share them with others.

If you would like to post an image with your message then you click the 'Insert Image' button under the Add tag button. You will then see the following inserted into your message : [/img].

This represents the path of your image. For example, to attach the photo of the Vintage Caravans logo, you would insert the following :

then between the brackets
www.vintagecaravans.com/images/logo_final.gif[/img].

IE - website path of image [/img bracket]

That's it, you have now inserted your Image into your message.

MORE ON "HOW TO POST PHOTOS"

1. You need to setup an online photo album and upload your images to
this location. Very easy to do, simply visit what I consider to be the best free photo album at www.photobucket.com/. Alternatively do a google search with the terms "free online photo albums".

2. Then once uploaded, you are provided with the code - this will be
within (img)(/img) tags - this is especially for forums.

3. You then click the attach image link in the forum and insert this
code.

4. If you do not see this code - then look at your site directory.
something like yourphotos.photoalbumssite.com/
Now look at your image directories , generally they will be
categorised as so : /Caravans/ or /General/ etc.
Ie - to attach a photo from Caravans - do the following :
yourphotos.photoalbumssite.com/Caravans/caravan.gif.
Please try this out - It is very easy to do.

Administrator -

Is there any way you can you make this post 'sticky' so that it remains at the top of the Photo Album threads for everyone to see rather than moving downwards as time goes on? It's a great help in posting photos on the forum!

To be frank..
I don't wish it as a personal critism, but I found the description at the start of this thread wasn't particularly helpful as to how to add photos.. apart from making me aware of photobucket.

It seems to have been written by someone who obviously knows the subject well, but it doesn't come across to the newbie who's trying to work how to add pictures.

I agree with Jim. I found T & C's explanation the easiest to follow, and it works!!!!!!!!
