How to Post Pics
Quote | Reply
I've seen a few people selling stuff mention that they don't know how to upload a pic. Here's how:

1) First you need to upload your pic to a free image hosting service. You can use any of them, but in this example I'll show you how to use tinypic.com. Go to tinypic.com, click Browse, find the pic you want to upload, and then click Upload Now.


2) Once you've done that, you'll be given a few links that you can copy. The link we'll want to copy is the one titled "Direct Link for Layouts".






3) Once you've done that, go to SlowTwitch and make your post. When you're ready to insert your picture into the post, click the little button at the top that looks like a picture frame.


Paste the link and click OK. You're done.

Somebody tell me why the link from tinypic doesn't paste into the body of messages and, therefore, the image doesn't display!?

for those of us who use google chrome, once you've obtained the direct url to the picture, toss it into the 'img' tag:

Great post.

Question: How do I post a classified ad? I have tried Safari, Firefox and IE and still cannot get the "Post Item" button to work. If you can point me to a tech support contact, I'd be very thankful.

If you are using Safari you need to use the IMG Code not the Direct Link for Layouts.

How do you downsize the picture through tinypic so its not so big when I post a picture on here? Do i do that through tinypic or a setting on ST when I'm posting?

Thanks

Use the "Resize" option on TinyPic. Change it from "Default" to "Message Board".

I posted in the Lavender Room about posting from the interwebs. I'm trying to post a photo of a chamois cream from the maker's web site without the attending text, so the url alone won't work.

How do I keep up with some of our more comedic posters' material?

for me, the most reliable way to post pictures on ST, mac and windows alike, (providing your image is somewhere on the web) is this:
  • type the phrase "img" surrounded by square brackets. not parentheses, curly brackets, or <> symbols.
  • immediately after, paste the URL for your image (it should end in .jpg or .gif or something similar).
  • type the phrase "/img" also surrounded by square brackets
click the Preview Post button to see if your image will show up, or if viewers will see a red X.

i'd post some example text, but dan's server (in it's exquisite sleuthfullness) will think i'm trying to show an image and replace it with said image.

Start a new thread in the Tri forum and say what you wrote to me. You have to get 25 posts in order to be a "regular" here.

In the Lavender Room, the Word Association thread is an easy way to push up your post count without encountering too many crazy people.

Only about 20 more posts and you're there ;-)

Imgur is the best free site I have used for pictures. You can easily create an album with a single URL.

My problem is the new forum software. It appears we can no longer embed images. Is the intention to simply link directly to the images, or am I missing something in the new code?

Did you ever get this figured out? I've posted several photos in the past, but now don't have the icon anymore either???

ETA:

Figured it out. When you upload to tinypic now there is an option for the code to insert for Images on Message Boards or Forums.

Just copy that and paste it into your post where you want the image and it shows up.
