Dear Forums Friends:****Here are the instructions for you to follow so you can include pictures in your postings and replies on the Forums... and also you can post them on your Private Messages: (note, you can not send a Private Message until you have posted on the forums 15 times)
FIRST OFF: It is best to use a desktop or Laptop computer because phones and pads usually do not have the button functions to do what is needed.Step 1: Go to Imgur.com
(you do not have to sign up as a member there unless you wish
to have later control of your posted photo.)
Step 2: Click "New Post"
Step 3: Click "Upload Images"
Step 4: Drag picture from your computer to Imgur download box, or copy and paste, or enter URL
Step 5: Put your curser on the upper/right of your downloaded photo on Imgur
Step 6: Go to the "down arrow" and then select "Get Share Links"
Step 7: COPY: "BBCode(forums) THIS IS IMPORTRANTStep 8 PASTE: To the body of your message/posting/reply
That should do it.... BUT again be aware of the pixel size of your photo..
..... keep it under control and not much over 1200 W x 900 H.... if you are confused about that detail and how to do it then don't worry because when you post a photo on a Personal Message or on the Forums it will automatically be reduced. Trying to upload or post a super large photo on
Imgur and then download it on the Forums will take longer on a slower connection.
Good luck... and let me know if you have any questions or problems.
Now, I am looking forward to seeing all kinds of your pictures.... and if you don't want to post a picture on the Forums you could always send and include pics on a Personal Message, but obviously only post pictures as you feel comfortable doing it.
On
imgur.com if you do not choose to sign up with a free account it is automatically set to private... but later
if you want to have later control of your uploaded photo then you should sign up for a FREE account.. Please let me know if you have any trouble with my instructions and please reply if you are able to post pictures.
Hugs and happy posting.
Danielle
