Just checking to see how this works with the new software. This is one of mine in storage.

That is about the perfect size too! Width on pics should be (if possible) 600 pixels or less so people don't have to scroll right to see the rest of the picture)

 

[Bugeye58]

I <u>do</u> have to admit that I played around with the size on the host site until I thought it looked right.
I still haven't gotten the hang of properly sizing images when I scan them, but I'm working on it!

You can also upload pics as attachments and if the file size is less than 50k it will be displayed in the post, otherwise it shows up as an attachment link in the post (not in the header like the old forum). Also, unlike the old forum, you can upload multiple attachments in a post as long as the total file size does not exceed 250k.

Jack.
I had trouble when I tried a pic of yours when you got the engine in (I recall Tony had trouble too), it's an MSN thing. If you can, try to host the pic on another picture site and then do it.

Pkay, so how do I put a photo here without it having its own url or being hosted somewhere else on the internet?

 

[Baz]

The file manager and attach it I think, you can't do it in 'quick reply', but reply button and then click the file manager link.
You'll get a pop up window and a browse button, find the pic, clcik OK and that should do it.

 

[tony barnhill]

Hmmmm....that didn't work

 

[Baz]

If it's a pic of a stunning red B with a hardtop, it sure did.

 

[tony barnhill]

Oh, it did! Hey, that's great! Only, it didn't show up when I previewed my post so I figured it wasn't there.

But, how do you get the photo to actualy appear on the BBS without hosting it on the internet somewhere?

 

[Baz]

That I'm not sure is possible, if so, I'm not the right guy to advise.
There are link, email and image buttons; each one with a pop up asking for a destination.

If the picture is less than 50k in size, it will be displayed in the post. You may need to size the picture down first to get it to work.

 

[Baz]

Testing less than 50k (12.9k)

 

[tony barnhill]

Okay, makes sense - now, why didn't the link show up when I previewed my post?

 

[JPSmit]

Testing as well.

Showing off more like /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

Happy New Year to you all - thanks for your inspiration!!!

 

[Baz]

Think the preview is just the text, the attachment I shot up there didn't show up either.
