Re: Loading photos
OK
heres my guide I have written for my other MINI forum. I have been told they are easy to follow and use but if you don't get it then please shout.

You need to host your pics somewhere like MINI2 galleries or the likes of photo bucket and flickr. Once they are on line click the image so it opens right up to full size. Most of these programs open up within the main page of the site - you need to be viewing just the picture on it's own and nothing else. To do this right click your mouse and select "view image" like this example.
so it looks like this
Then you copy the full address in address bar of your browser like this
Thats all the hard work done
to make it show in posts on these forums simply press the img button on the posting tool bar - like this
then paste the link and then press the img button again. It will look like this BUT without the spaces ( these are left in to show an example)
and that should be that - like this
this thread is for information only so will remain locked.
Please post any problems/questions here

Re: Loading photos
Creating clickable thumbnails of pictures in the forum.
By far the easiest way we have found to do this is by a using a Photo bucket account - http://photobucket.com/
This site basically writes all the codes for you so makes the job easy.
Once you have uploaded your pictures view your album and select the ones you wish to share by ticking that pictures box, they will then highlight in red, like this:
Then select the "Generate HTML and IMG code" button like this:
Then copy the code from the "IMG clickable thumbnails for message boards - recommended" box like this:
Simply paste all this code into a post and it will look like this (As usual we have left spaces in so you can view the example - don't put in spaces for it to work normally.)

Re: Loading photos
I have not got a photobucket or flickr account.And found this way to upload pictures is quite easy.
simple test for you
1.Find a picture on your computer and right click on it.Or scan a pictue and save in your picture file.
2.Send it to save as it should go to your picture file and save it in there.
3.Next go to your paint file and open the picture in there.
4.next click on image along the top and then you can reduce the size from 100x100 to say 50x50 you may have to do it again then click file, save as, and save in jpg
5.Next go to club website in post a reply near the bottom it says upload attachment click on that where it says browse click on that it will fetch your picture file up click that picture then click open.
Then click add the file it will fetch another box up and it says place inline wereever your cursour is it will place the picture there.
simple as that

Transfering Photos From Photobucket
Well why were on the subject and if you want to use Photobucket, try this.
you need 2 windows open, 1 with photobucket and the other on the forum post page (where you type your post).
on photobucket find your picture and get the cursor over the pic you want and under it a drop down list will appear, left click on direct link then right click and copy.
Now open forum window on your post page, click on the Img botton above and this will appear
[img]XXX[/img] paste your link between the centre bracket like this [img]photy%20in%20here[/img] post as normal and your away to the races.
then leve a gap and add another, best not to do more than 8 at a time, as some PC's are affected by photy's an run very slow

Only problem with using the in built one is if you want to share the pictures with other people who aren't on here. If you have multiple forums you use, email or fb etc etc then a picture hosting site would be your best option. They are all free for standard accounts and then you only have to upload the picture you want once to be able to share it as much as you want.

Re: Loading photos
Now then can I ask if folk who have trouble loading photy's to post a reply saying if any of the answers have helped.
If the answer is yes, then we can ask Gary the Webmaster to make it a sticky, so it always remains at the top for reference

Re: Loading photos
I,m afraid I,m with Mark on this - I,m fine with mechanical and most electrical stuff but I suppose I,ve never made the effort(never had to) to get to grips with a computer.
Most of what is said I can follow but I find that however simple the explanation appears to be there is always a reference to something I dont know anything about - probably very basic like "paste into"" -I haven,t a clue !
Also, there seems to be a lot of steps in the process, so I would have to follow each step from a crib sheet "monkey see,monkey do" style and although I,m a computer dummy I,m no monkey !.
There, Im just a senile old Luddite !!

Re: Loading photos
To Paste:
Click and drag over the text you want to copy, so it's highlighted. Right click on the highlighted area, select "copy" then click where you want to paste it, and click "paste". It then makes a copy of the text you highlighted.
