Hey guys
I've asked a few questions in the past and you have been very helpful. Now I would like to share some pictures with you but don't know how.
The posting rules say that I can't post attachments. Does that mean pictures or is it refering to something else?
Do you have to be a member for a period of time or have X number of posts before you can add pictures?
Just a little help please. You might find it interesting.


They say there is no such thing as a stupid question. With your permission I shall continue to test that theory.
 
As mere registered users, we have not paid fees to support the bandwidth required for posting pictures "attachments". What is acceptable that we can do is to post images via links. I use an off site photo hosting service such as tinypic.com , or another one. I go there to "Upload picture", then it takes you to a screen where you select a picture from your computer and gives you the option to name it. Select the picture, then hit upload. In a bit, the screen will change and show what you uploaded, and give you the picture link. You then copy the link, and post it here.



I put spaces in this link to break it so you can see what a link looks like. This is what it does when posted as is.

Yes it is from circa 1963 publicity photo. First try didn't break the link right
 
Codger, LOL at that pic!! Thanks for the chuckle. :)

BTW, you can use the [plain] tag to write literal strings into your posting that include non-operative VB tags that this forum would normally automatically implement to format text or include in-line pictures as you did. Check out the Bladeforums VB Help Page to see how to code it.
 
FULMTALJKT, Including pictures inside a posting here on BFC is done is two steps:

#1 step -- Put the pictures somewhere on the web. One picture-hosting site that lots of folks use is Photobucket.com to store their pictures. Photobucket and some other sites are free -- you don't need to pay them to store your pics on their web servers -- while other image hosting sites charge for the space. Once you put the pictures on a site like that, each image will have a web address something like http://photobucket.com/.../xyz-xyz.jpg.

#2 step -- To include your picture inside a posting here on Bladeforums, as you are composing your post you place an image link in your post. The image link would look something like this:
[img]http://photobucket.com/.../xyz-xyz.jpg[/img]

Those letters inside the [] square brackets are called "tags". The first tag [img] tells Bladeforums that you're about to give it the web address of a picture. The web address starts immediately after the tag. So don't put any spaces between the tags and your address. The second tag, the one with the slash before the "img", [/img] tells Bladeforums to stop reading input as the web address of your picture.

When someone views your posting, as their browser loads the page, Bladeforums will go out and get your picture from the web and insert it into your posting where you put the image link tags and address of it.

HTH.
