How to post an image/picture/photo

In this forum, there is no facility at present for uploading images directly to this board. Therefore you must link to an image stored on a publicly accessible web server, e.g. http://www.some-unknown-place.net/my-picture.gif.

You cannot link to pictures stored on your own PC (unless it is a publicly accessible server) nor to images stored behind authentication mechanisms such as Hotmail or Yahoo mailboxes, password-protected sites, etc. To display the image use either the BBCode [img] tag or appropriate HTML (if allowed).

I've set up a PhotoBucket Account.

Anyone wanting to upload photos can sign in using

For Photobucket site click here

You can then link any photo to the forum. Instructions on how coming soon.

After logging in PhotoBucket,

1. Load Photo from your PC to PhotoBucket by clicking "Choose Files"
2. It will then load.......
2. After Uploading, Type in the Title of the Photo, Description & Tags (Tags are popup when you hover the mouse over the photo). After you're done, click "return to album"
3. In the album page, choose the photo you would like to link.
4. In the "Share this Image" Box (Under the advertisment), you have 4 options (of which I'm not too sure what the differences are). Left click the yellow box with the funny letters next to "Direct Link", this will copy the whole "string" of letters.
5. Now go back to the Horsemen Forum, in the "Post a Reply" page, click the "Image" button on top. Then Right Click the box below it and "paste" the copied string. Then click "OK"
* You can always go back to the PhotoBucket Page and copy the "strings" again.
6. To check your handywork, you can preview it by clicking the "Preview" Button below. Your "preview" will be shown on top of your 'Post a Reply" Box in its entirety.
7. Once you're happy with it click the "Send" button.
There you have it, a bucket full of photos

Guys,

It seems that photobucket has a limit on it's bandwidth. 25GB/month to be exact. The good news is that our forum is quite popular to have burst this limit . The bad news is that the forum gets plastered with photobucket banners (and they're not that pleasing to the eye) everywhere , asking us to upgrade i.e. pay, to contitnue.

I've removed all of the photos I've posted and Andy has deleted the account to help clean the mess. And it seems to have worked at the time of this post. Yay!

I'll find a better way of uploading photos. And by better I mean free

Sorry for the trouble guys...
