How to post an image?

“I'm tried to post a picture here of a map from both Word, and Fireworks with no luck. How the heck do you post this on a thread?”

“You have to upload it to an online photo service or TT's album page and paste the address for the picture, highlight it, click the Img button.

”

“darn crash looks beat...”

“Carrying a cooler and a case of puddin' cups will do that to you.”

“You have to upload it to an online photo service or TT's album page

TT's album page has been busted ever since "the change"”

“Hotlinking is kewl, but watch out for the red x.”

“worse than the red x is what happened to D.O.R.K. The site owner changed a pic she was hot linking to a full frontal nude man. It was up on TT for hours and hours because no moderators were around to delete it.”

I haven't had any problems at all except the fact I have to log in again to access my albums. I am able to upload, delete, etc.”

“OMG I forgot about that. thanks hyway...”

“Ban her!”

“I am still blown away that I did not get banned for that one.

“Sticks,

I can get the link posted, but not the image? What am I doing wrong?”

“are trying to post a pic from webshots?”

“if you're talking about your smokey's trip, for one you have too many [img] tags”

“Yep! Webshots will give you the x every time. I like HTML because sometimes the BBcode [ with the square brackets ] doesn't have all its parameters implemented. For example, you may not be allowed to change the size of the image.... so your images has to be resized First, wherever they're stored.

I've updated my standard Cheat Sheet....


HTML Cheat Sheet

note:
Be sure to remove any space after any left angle bracket < and before any right angle bracket > to make these work..... I had to insert those spaces so they wouldn't be treated as actual code.

And keep all the quotation marks.....



This bit of code launches a new browser window with the linked page displayed:

< A HREF="the actual link to the webpage" TARGET="_blank" >what you want to call it< /A >


For example,

< A HREF="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap020324.html" TARGET="_blank" >The Cat's Eye Nebula< /A >

gives you this:

The Cat's Eye Nebula



To display an image full sized:

< IMG SRC="the URL of the image" >

So, < IMG SRC="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/Tilt001/catseye_hst.jpg" >

displays this:





to display an image with different dimensions:

< IMG SRC="the URL of the image" HEIGHT="999" WIDTH="999" >

So, < IMG SRC="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/Tilt001/catseye_hst.jpg" HEIGHT="150" WIDTH="300" >

displays this:




You may prefer to only specify the height or width, and automatically maintain the aspect ratio of the original.... Widths up to 450 or so are okay on TT -- anything much larger kinda screws up the thread.

I usually go with something like this:

< IMG SRC="the URL of the image" WIDTH="300" >



The following code displays an image that's also a link to a page in a new browser window (click on the image itself and it opens another browser window with the new page in it):

< A HREF="the link to the webpage" TARGET="_blank" >< IMG SRC="the link to the image" >< /A >


..... and at a width of 100 pixels:

< A HREF="the link to the webpage" TARGET="_blank" >< IMG SRC="The link to the image" WIDTH="100" >< /A >



It's handy for displaying a thumbnail image that links to a larger version.


Once you've got it in your head where the URLs and things go, you can just save a short Word document with these doodads on it... (with those pesky spaces already removed)….. Just paste in the line of code, then the other stuff.

Link:
< A HREF="" TARGET="_blank" >< /A >

Link to Headline:
< font size=3 >< A HREF="" TARGET="_blank" >< /A >< /font >

Image, centered:
< center >< IMG SRC="" >< /center >

Resized Image, centered:
< center >< IMG SRC="" WIDTH="300" >< /center >

Image that's also a Link, centered:
< center >< A HREF="" TARGET="_blank" >< IMG SRC="" >< /A >< /center >

Resized Image that's a Link… … centered:
< center >< A HREF="" TARGET="_blank" >< IMG SRC="" WIDTH="400" >< /A >< /center >


If you want to get the URL of an image you see on the 'Net, right click on it, then click on 'Properties' and an information box will appear with the address and other info. Highlight the URL, then [ctrl-c] copy it and [ctrl-v] paste it into the line of HTML as the image source.

If you link directly from someone else’s webpage (known as ‘hot linking’) it uses their bandwidth whenever the image is displayed and really isn’t kosher. If the image isn’t copyrighted you can save it and upload it to your own webpage or some other Internet image service like Photobucket.com.

[ note: You can now save directly to Photobucket ]


May the Shwartz be with you.

“I saw that on another forum a few years ago so I saved it to my website. :-)”

“webshots works just fine for posting. You just have to use the links on the right of the page. You can even select your pixel width. Its as easy as cut and paste. You can link just that pic or you can use a pic to be your link to your album.”
