Hi Guys,

I'm getting frustrated here. Can somebody guide me on how to post pix in the threads?

thanks...

1) Register with a free FTP server like www.imagshack.us or www.photobucket.com.

2) Follow the instructions in uploading photos.

3) After you have successfully uploaded your pics, choose the picture that you want to post at this board.

4) Highlight the image url that the site provides. This normally starts with [ IMG] and ends with [ /IMG]. Copy this tag.

5) Go to the thread where you want to post the pic. Paste the [ IMG] URL [ /IMG] there.


You can click on the Preview button first so you can see if you successfully posted a picture.

ADDED: Please modify the size of your pictures so that it will load up much faster. it is recommended that you resize them to 640 x 480 pixels at the most.

And if the pics is too large, you can click on a pic and have photobucket generate a thumbnail for you which you can post it here (like I'm currently doing with my pics).

how can you do this exactly?

thanks

Click on the image which you want, and at the buttom of the page (please select action). select the "generate html and img code" and press go. the screen will refresh with 5 option for you to choose.

Hi, i tried uploading a pic to photobucket and i'm posting a WIP thread in the Gundam section. I'm not sure how to downsize my pictures though... I don't wanna get in trouble with the admins or mods.

How do we downsize pics?

photobucket has that option of resizing/editing your pics. simply click on "edit"

or you could also visit this site: www.resize2mail.com/index.cfm
