Posting Pics

Sleeto · #1 11-09-2004, 04:21 PM

I know there is info on this subject in the archives, but I have looked can't find it. Where can I go to get a place to store my pics, so I can attach them to my posts? I thought I saw a free pic storage place (I can't remember the correct term for this) that had a bunch of SeaCraft stuff on it.

Thanks

Blizzard,
I suggest using www.photobucket.com, which is a free service. This way you can store all of your digital pix in one place. They changed their guidelines recently so now you need to utilize the site at least once every 60 days or they will cancel your account. Just make sure you reduce the image size to at least 640x480 before you post a pic to this site or else it won't upload. If you want to add an avatar to your signature, that image can't be bigger than 140x90.

Thanks Scott, maybe I'll get a chance to try to set it up tomorrow.

Help! I saved the pic on Photobucket and then copied the URL in the message. What am I doing wrong?

Blizzard,
You need the [image] UBB code both before and after the URL.

Scott,

Thanks for helping me thru this.

Do I need the URL, the Tag and the Img?

What is the easiest way to transfer them to the message?

When you are creating a new message, just below the white box that you type in is a section called "Instant UBB Code". Choose the "Image" link and paste the photo's URL there. Hit OK and preview the message to make sure the pic shows up.
