How to post pictures on this site - Attachments

Postby Thommo » 22 Feb 2012, 22:06

Gday All

Let me give you a little guide on how to post a picture using 'Attachments'.
Its easy as ;) really :lol:

First, Click the 'POST REPLY' to add to an existing topic, or, 'NEW TOPIC' to start your own.

Add the text you want, as you do now, in the Message Body (text box)

To add a picture, look down on the page beneath the text you have just written,
Within the next blue line across the page says 'Upload attachment'
Directly below that there is a small options box that says 'Browse...'Click on 'Browse...' to open your computer files,
find the picture you want to post, then 'double click' on the picture.
The filename and its location in your computer will appear in the box to the left of the Browse button, your picture is now loaded.
* only its name will appear onscreen when posted
* pictures can be sourced directly from any device plugged into your computer, eg - phone or camera etc

If you wish, you can add a comment to the picture.
In this example I add "High Flyer" in the 'File Comment' text box

When you have got this far..........your done :D

I click 'Preview' to check I have done what I wanted to do, and that I have not made any mistakes.
Then Click 'Submit' to post on the forum. :D
* Dont use the Preview or Submit button at the bottom of the page, use the ones below your text box

For some reason this forum takes its time when previewing or submitting, be patient. :?
Just click the button once and wait for you post to load up, dont keep clicking to make it happen faster, it wont! :x

Good luck

Thanks for that Thommo.

I will keep this as a sticky for a week or so to highlight it to board readers.

Just remember to keep the pictures that are uploaded to a reasonable size, ie, 800 pixles wide and a resolution of 72 dpi is fine for the Board.

For further info, there is a previous reference about uploading pictures to the Board at: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=246

My apologies Greg, I didn't know there was a guide on here.
I did have a look, but couldn't find one.
