Loading Pics / Thumbnails

[GrantB]

Trying to load some pics to my postings....
Cannot see a link to do this . . . probably right in front of me, but not seeing it... getting old these days lol...

Unless a junior member has not got access to these things ?

Suggestions please ?

are you using a photo hosting site??

 

[GrantB]

Never heard of such a thing..... please explain ?

And also, how do I get a profile thumbnail loaded too... as I noticed yours is.... interesting lol

 

[cowboy573]

Nice easy hosting site is photobucket, http://s747.photobucket.com/ Start an account there, then upload the photo you require into your account on photobucket. under the photo will appear a IMG code. Copy and paste that onto this site where you want a picture to appear.
As for the avatar, once you master the "putting up a photo" then ill explain.

many thanks, will do.

cannot see any obvious way of loading a thumbnail image avatar for my profile..... how is this done plz ???

The easiest way to do it is open any thread, then you should see a menu bar under the banner and ad banner. There drop down Forum Actions and then click Edit Profile.

The option for avatar will be on the left hand side.

Got it, many thanks... done now.

Must say Loxy, amazing cigar pic, makes me smile each time I see it

Can I use Onedrive (formerly skydrive) for images on here?

 

[Loxy]

If the site will let you link an address of an image then I can't see why not. Just wrap

Imgur is a good site, very quick to load.
