How to include photos in your posts
 

If you want to include a picture in a post, and that picture is not already hosted elsewhere on the Internet, do the following:

1. Upload your picture into your member gallery or a particular album
2. Once it has been uploaded you have two options to consider:
   • Use the thumbnail of the picture in your post
   • Use the full-size version of the picture in your post
   Whichever option you choose simply CTRL-click over the image of choice and select Copy Image Location (Mozilla), Open Image in New Window/Tab (Safari), Properties (Internet Explorer) and copy the resulting URL for the picture.
3. Next, go to the post where you want to insert the image.
4. Click on the https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...nsertimage.gif button when editing your post, paste the URL into the box provided, and click OK.
5. Your image should now appear in your post.

If for some reason you do not see your image:

• Check the URL of the image to make sure it is correct.
• To change the image in your post simply edit the post, highlight the area of the image, and click the https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...nsertimage.gif button to make changes to the URL displayed.

A big thank you for taking the time to write this post! Now I know how :).

Im still lost.......:shifty

Is there a particular point in the directions I can elaborate on to maybe help things along?

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...p/photo/102458 Don't think it worked

Thanks for posting this! Couldn't for the life of me figure it out.

I can't get it. I posted the photos, put the URL in the box. But only the address show up in the thread. Not the photo. I need help.

Are you using the picture button https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...nsertimage.gif not the link button https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...createlink.gif? The link button does what you're describing.

Yes I am. It put the address of the photo on the thread instead of the photo.

Tried again. I don't know what the problem is.

My signature picture won't even show up.

Motor on
Well I guess I figured it out. I posted the last two threads and it worked. Thank you for everyone's help.

How about from an IPad? Every time I try to upload pix into my gallery it's not even an option. Upload buttons appear screened back and can't select them, so can't upload from IPad.

Hey Coop,
I use an iPad. I use photobucket. I put photos from my library first, then upload them to bucket. From bucket you use the direct link to upload them in the gallery. Hope it helps.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot

as of today, putting a photo in post seems to be broken

i have done it before with no problem, but fails today

i am using the "photo" button not "link" button

New to the Site, and to Minis, Seeing If I can follow instructions.

Trying pictures out
 

You need to find the actual image address, which would usually end with .jpg, not the page address like you put in.

Like this:

(Change the } back to ])

Yep. Photobucket with an iPad works fine.
