posting photos

  • Hi in a recent post in Koncerns and trouble shooting I posted some pics using photobucket. My pics stayed up for a while but were removed the same day, whereas another members pic is still visible.

    My question is why were my pics removed so quickly?. Did I use too large a file size? or were they in some other way incompatable? I would like to know so I may get it right next time as the final pic in the post tells the whole story of my trouble with the car. Thank you.

  • Looks like Photobucket took them down. Try tinypics.com to up load pictures I've had good luck with them. If you need help do a search on tinypic.com or pm me and I'll repost the how-to.

    Good luck!

    Q.

  • Here is the way I post pictures.


    1. Have pictures loaded on computer.


    2. This step is to resize your picture. Open them in MicroSoft "Paint" This is only on PCs not Macs, (right click on the picture you want "open with" "Paint".


    3. Resize picture. (picture should not be any larger then 1/4 of your computer screen, if it's this size you don't have to resize.

    to resize in MS Paint program click on the "Image" then "Resize/Skew". Try 50% 50% for values till it's the correct size then save picture, click "File" then "Save As", rename picture. Note where the folder is, so you can find it later.


    4. On the web open http://tinypic.com/ click on the [Browse] then "Pictures". Pick out the picture that you have resized.

    You may have saved it to your desktop or other folder. Click on your picture, then click on [Open] under all the pictures.


    5. Now click on the green [UPLOAD NOW!]

    .wait...wait...wait...


    6. under the heading "Links To Share" high light the second line IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards. Next right click on the box and copy this line. Should look like this:

    7. Open eKschange web forum, in Post New Reply or New Topic, in the message area where you would like to post picture right click mouse, "Paste" that line of text that looks like the one above.


    8. Go to Preview just below message box here and check that it's correct. Last thing if you like it is to Post New Reply.

    Good Luck!

    If you still have problems, post here or PM again, that goes for anyone on the forum.
