|  Subject: Adding Pictures - Guide  Wed Oct 10, 2007 1:40 pm | |
| People seem to have trouble figuring out how to add pictures to posts on the forums, so I thought I'd do a quick run-through.
First, you need to do a FULL REPLY. You must click on the reply button on the bottom of a page (Sonic Screwdriver button), not just use the quick reply form at the bottom of a thread (I think this is the problem most people have).
From here, click on the "HOST AN IMAGE" button above the form. A new window should pop up for www.servimg.com. Here you will need to follow the instructions for registering (you should be able to use your WhoNA forum login info).
You should then be able to choose an image to upload and choose a size. 800px will be about the same width as the forum. This will only shrink pictures, so don't worry about anything that is already small enough to fit on the page getting blown up.
After the image uploads, you'll see the image and a bunch of text boxes. We want BBcode.
Thumbnail will put a small picture in your post that links to the full size version (use this if you really want to show detail and go bigger than 800px). Image will just stick the image in your post.
Cut and paste the text from the appropriate box and paste it into your message. This is where the image will appear.
You can close the servimg window now or upload another image.
That's it!
If you still have questions, post them below and I or some of your fellow forum members can help you out.
