Title: How can I put photos onto forum topics?
Post by: martin-w on February 21, 2008, 07:46:00 PM
Hi All,
I have an Apple Mac G4 computer, a Brother 'all in one' printer/fax/scanner/copier, also a dedicated Primefilm negative/transparency scanner.
I can happily scan photos 'to email', 'to file' and various other modes, but have failed miserably to get a photo onto the forum topics.
I have seen some references to 'outside' websites which process the info and then load it on as a file, but isn't it possible to cut and paste or transfer an image without all that bother?
As you may gather, I'm not exactly an expert on matters to do with computers! Anybody HELP.
All the best,
Martin.

Hi Martin-w

I always use imageshack to download mine, I suggest you wait until Terry W reads your message as he is quite a whizz on computers as you've probably guessed.

Hello there MartinW,

I use www.photobucket.com and upload my pictures to there on my account. Then you can copy the IMG link of the picture and just paste it onto a message and voila! :)

Erja, I've just put some of my photo's in a nice bucket !
How much wallpaper paste do I pour into it ?
Then I think I'll try pasting them onto my computer screen but how will I be able to see the forum ?
Eh ?

click on the browse tab and select your saved picture from your file
type in your email address in box provided
Use the drop down menu to re-size your image (click on 320x240) tick box at side of this.
click host it
next page, scroll down to box titled "direct link to image"
copy and paste the text in the box
On Arillas Forum click reply to where you want to post your piccie, when blank box appears click on the "insert image" icon, next to the one that looks like a spinning wheel.
this will apear, (img) (/img), between the 2 sets of brackets paste the code which you copied from the imageshack site and then click post!
