Photo Hosting - A guide

[shaneth]

Ok i though i would do a simple step by step guide to putting picks up on the forum. I use photobucket and you can upload direct from your computer and its free.

1st - you must register with PhotoBucket. Follow the instructions on this page Photobucket -Registration Page Follow the instructions on this page and complete the registration.

2nd - Next (from memory) there is a button that says browse. Here you can look on your hard drive and find the pics you are wanting to upload. You can do 5 Pictures at once. Once you have found all the pictures you want to upload you hit the big upload button.

3rd - once you have uploaded your photos. You can then add them directly to your post. under each of the photos you have uploaded you will see these three links - URL Link, HTML Tag, IMG Code. The one you want to copy is IMG Code. All you have to do is click on the text next to it and a little yellow box will say copied. Then you go to the post you want the pictures in and press Ctrl V and the text will be in your post.

Once you have done this it will look something like. [ IMG]http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p162/shanethb/RallyPolo2.jpg[/IMG] Then the picture will be displayed when you submit the post.




PLease tell me via PM if there are changes that need to be done so that the thread soesnt get over run by posts. That way everyone can find it.

Thumbs up. Got another tip related to this which may make uploading thousands of photos a breeze: download Flock. It is a Mozilla Firefox-based web browser that has a nifty photobucket photo upload tool integrated into it. Very easy to use, and once the upload tool is open, you can close the Flock browser. It's user-friendly too in that it won't bother you when you want to use another browser instead of Flock. I, for instance, still use Firefox, but only open up Flock when I upload dozens of photos. Here are some screenies:

Looks very similar to Firefox, just with a blue cartoony theme:


Photobucket photo uploader; can be used on its own without Flock opened:


Just a matter of drag-and-drop, then select folder and upload; done!:

Hey Shaneth.
Used your system to upload but I found the only way it would work is
by using the IMG code. the others would not work.
So have I some how ballsed up again or should your post read " The only one you can copy is IMG code".???

Pc's are not friendly to me.
