Help me upload photo's

You need to upload them to an image hosting site such as Flickr and then you create a link in your post that looks for the uploaded image.
 
I find it easier to use the facilities on this site. Create an album then copy and paste the photos BB code into your post. Couldn't be easier.

Yes, much easier - the pictures will be resized automatically if needs be. To create an album, once logged in select User CP in the top left and scroll down to pictures and albums - add album, then upload pics from your desktop.
 
ive just created a folder ( i think ), and uploaded a pic, but what/where is the BB code ?

Sits here scratching head, :confused:

We need a tutorial (or three) about this, but they take a while to write (and test). Bigger problem is that Windows keeps getting updated, and it may need different instructions for various versions. I use Windoze XP and if you have a later version (or worse still, and Android or whatever) you may find you need to vary things a tad.


So here's the basis of one, I writ this just now and it may need refining, but try it out. I'll add as a tutorial in a better place later, if / when I get time :



Firstly you have to get the image from your computer into "internet land" somewhere

Either using an image storage facilty like Photobucket, but that's another story (maybe later) OR using BFW / vBulletin's own facility explained below :

You must be logged in

click "User CP"
click "Your Profile / Pictures & Albums"
click "Add Album"

insert album title, and description if required
click "Submit"

click your new album
click "Upload Pictures"
click "Browse" and find your required image(s) on your computer

note that there are limits listed, if an image is too large it won't work. The image must be resized but that is yet another story, already covered https://barbel.co.uk/site/vbulletin...ons/1367-resizing-images-pictures-photos.html

click "Upload Pictures"

Your image(s) should be shown.

If you click an image it will expand, and at the bottom there are two boxes, one has "BB Code". You need to copy this when you want to add this image to a post.


to copy, select so it's highlighted and press 'crtl' key and the 'C' key together, this will place it in your clipboard

to paste, click where you want it pasted, then press 'crtl' and the <V> key together



So how to actually insert an image in a post?

Open a new window of tab in your browser (IE, Firefox, or other). In one window / tab write your post, in the other window / tab navigate to your image album and image.

Start writing the post and when you want to insert the image paste the "BB Code" (previosuly mentioned) into the post

That should do it

Just a practice to see if I got the hang of this :eek:

Having just had a preview , Looks like I am getting the hang of it :)
 
In the context of fishing, these photos are positively pornographic. And it struck me that we could consider a 2013 photo competition (and not necessarily featuring a fish but would be fishing related- and one must have a kingfisher perched on a barbel rod). If sufficient quality and interest then there may be the makings of a 2014 calendar which could be sold for charity. This would certainly be preferable to one based on arty photos involving naked anglers in waders and carefully positioned bait droppers. Just a thought.
