Can't post pictures

[Ahjno]

Considering there is an option to "add an image from your computer"

That came with the latest update, though we didn't activate it. All pics directly uploaded to the forum (thus using the option you mentioned), end up on the BCUK server. Something we don't want ATM.

Ok dokey Flickr it is then, cheers Mr Orange

Cheers Ahjno - Other forums with a similar bushcraftUK format allow image uploads direct from PC so I had assumed it would be the same here. I have a flickr account, I'll use that.

We've set it up so that FM's can load directly to the site as well as Mods, Admin etc. Resource wise images and other attachments soon add up to a large amount of space and then resource in displaying them, external hosting allows pages to load faster and saves our resources.
Anyone that wants to be able to load directly to the site can support the site through a subscription.

We will be reviewing how we do things (as we do now and then) so this might change but at the moment that's how things are

Please help again - I can find no way of uploading photos to this forum.....neither my own from hard drive, my own hosted on another site or anyone else's as a html. It is annoying me!

[suburban bushwacker]

Still not working for me either by URl or Up load

Any ideas?

[tawnyhare]

I am going to try again, I have just put some photos onto my Picasa (google) account, so here goes:

Ok, that worked. I went to the picture in the album and right-clicked the photo and clicked on copy image address and then pasted it into the space on from url in the photo icon

I have just encountered the problem where I have been loading up images with no problem and now can't.
I think it might be to do with personal file size limits on the forum.
Is that so?
Can I delete old pictures to rectify it?

Yes you can:

Go to: Settings (top right) >> My Settings (on the left, scroll down) >> under Miscellaneous: click Attachments.

You'll get a page with all the pics you've uploaded to the website.

Tick the ones you want to delete.

Click: Delete Selected (bottom right).

Sorted

I've been having nightmares, followed all the instructions on various threads and 'how-to's... no probs at all when I used IE rather than my usual browser, Opera

[The Lord Poncho]

I get stuck at the most basic stage- i.e. there are no buttons visible for me to select the picture one. In fact i have no edit buttons at all either in 'quick reply' or 'go advanced'. I'm using internet explorer. So the instructions here:

...simply don't work for me.

How strange, im on IE posting this and all the same buttons are there as when on firefox?

You probably didn't enable the Editor Toolbar.

Click here, to go to your user controlpanel (User CP).
http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/pro...do=editoptions

Scroll down to the bottom, 'till you see 'Miscellaneous Options'

Under 'Message Editor Interface' tick the box saying 'Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls'. Yours probably is ticked 'Basic Editor - A simple text box'.

Click 'Save changes' at the bottom right.

Try again posting a pic.

Got it- thanks!

Is there a way to resize images when uploading direct from the computer as a full member? They come out a bit smaller than I'm used to. Nopt much point to the 'direct upload priviledge' if the image is too small to be seen clearly at the end.

If your having trouble posting pics here is a step by step guide I posted a while back...

First open a free account with Photo bucket.

Then you need to upload pics from your computer to your photo bucket album.

In photobucket there is a green tab with 'upload now' on it. Click this and a larger green banner comes on that says 'select photos and videos'.

Click this and a box opens and at the top there is a drop down bar. I use this and select pictures. All your pictures should appear in files in order of date.


Click the group of pics file you want to upload to photobucket and all the pics in that file will appear. You then select them individually for upload by double clicking on them or as a group by holding down the control key and clicking each pic. When you have a group all highlighted in light blue you then click on the open tab and they will all upload together.

You will then be directed back to photobucket while the pics upload. Once the upload is complete click the blue 'save and continue to my albums' tab.

Once in your album go to the first pic and press edit. You need to re-size your pics for forums so they are not too large.

Click the resize tab and go to the 'preset sizes' bar and use the arrows to select the size you want. 640x480 is a good size.

Click 'apply' and when done click the 'replace original' tab at the bottom of the pic.

The page will change and the re-sized pic will come up. To quickly re-size other photos, on this page at the top right of the pic is a 'previous/next' tab. Use these to select other pics then hover the cursor over the new pic and a menu bar will appear along the top of the pic.

Hover over the resize tab and a drop down bar will appear. Select the size you want and click again. A box will appear and click OK.

Once you have resized all your pics click the albums tab to return to your album.

When you want to send a pic to a forum you select the IMG code under the pic you want to send and right click and copy.

Back on your post on the forum you just right click and paste the IMG code.

Sounds daunting but very simple once done a few times.

HTH,

Steve.

Yaaaay!!!! it worked.
