First off - the photo must be online somewhere, be it in a gallery or just a file, or hosted at one of those image hosting websites, NOT ON YOUR HARDDRIVE!

When posting photos, the end of the URL (web address) must be .jpg .gif .png - nothing else! For example:
Code:

---

[image]http://www.thedomain.net/thefolder/theimage.jpg[/image]

---

If you are linking to a photo sharing site, they don't always allow a direct link to the imate itself, so you have to link the URL, not the photo. Do that like this:
Code:

---

 some text to link 
or
 some text to link 

---

Hey,Pulse,doesn't one have to get assurances from the website it's being linked from that it will be up for a considerable amount of time so we can actually view that picture?

No, for example, some of my old posts which had pictures you may find no longer have the pictures. I figured the posts were so old that nobody would be viewing them any more, so I tanked the photos from the server.

If you're linking photos, take that into consideration.

If you're linking photos which are not yours, please be sure you have permission from the photo owner before you link them.

Will a ftp site work. Cuz I can't get my photo to post. Hmmm... I could be doing something wrong.

Josh

Only if the FTP site supports web access. Some FTP sites only allow port 21 traffic, the web uses port 80.

is there anyway you can save me the trouble for which I can
send them to you and you can do me the favor of posting them for me?
Thanks, Trend

So, what, I'm supposed to pay for my website and host your pictures for free? Geez, go and spend $5/mo and get a freakin' web space!

Easy pulse, I'm just not as computer litirate as you. I was just asking,
I was'nt making you dude. I don't know how to or where to start...Trend

Google search free photo hosting trend. HP has it and some others, they allow you to upload a picture and then you can right click on it ( when it's hosted ), highlight and copy the address ( http://trendcoolpic43/78.jpg ) and when you go to post here you put that address in the image window on your post.

Thanks dj Jay, I've been working a lot of hours at my
other job and have'nt been able to to get to it, but thank you...Trend

No probs...

MAGIX Online Photo Album
AAAARRRGGHHHH!

Well I tried Look under my hobby....Trend

Hey Jay, this is the best I could do. Can you please move it to the appropriate site? Thanks, Trend

???? I don't see anyhing...

click on Magix photo

the size is really smaller ( 46 X 52 ? ) so this is how big it looks.



in the slide show it's a Mcro pres. so it won't give property. What I did was to hit Image Overview, right click on that picture, highlight the WHOLE address and then right click COPY.



When i posted it I hit the image bar in the lower right corner of the reply, when the image window opens, you delete the http that is in the window and then paste the picture address into the image window and hit ok..



If you want it as your Avatar, you do the samething, EXCEPT you paste it into the signature Avatar box on your preferences page ( it says 80 x 80 pix are best for view )...

Trend, that site's kinda useless - you can't directly link to the images, they get embedded by their flash viewer.

I give up pulse, I work too damn much at my regular job
to come home and figure this out....sorry man

Trend, follow my post and do what I describe. Just put bigger pix on your site.
