Go To Events on the horizontal toolbar, then galleries.

PIC REMOVED, see my guide below to using "My Corvette Photos".

NOTE - You can only upload 3 pics per day.

Have Fun,
GT6

 

Step1) Your pics need to be on the web somewhere
Step 2) in your post/reply you will see a small icon of a picture in the toolbar. Click on that and a window will open prompting you for the web address of the photo.
Step3)Type/paste the address of the photo into the field and close the window.
Step4) Click on "Preview Post" to make sure the pic comes out in your post the way you want it. Edit the post if it isn't right.

 

Sign up for a photo hosting program such as www.shutterfly.com and download pics off your hard drive onto the site. You can make albums there with various themes. Its free too.
Then copy one of the Shutterfly pics, start a new Forum post and click on the little pic of the mountain and sun. A box will open, backspace and erase the http portion and paste. Your pic will show up in the post.
Do a test in the Help and Feedback Testing portion of this Forum to see what it will look like first.
If no luck then e-mail me at corvetteronw@hotmail.com and I will post a couple of pics for you.

 

www.photobucket.com is another

 

Funny, I just posted my 1st picture on this forum today. Took me about 1 hour to find out how to do it. It's ashame that there isn't a sticky at the top showing the steps. Anyways, goto www.photobucket.com and following the steps.
Once you do the steps there (takes about 2 minutes), then just paste the IMG or HTTP: link. I posted mine as a IMG, and found out later it was too big, So Mr. Mojo corrected my error and made it a Http:
It's extremely simple if you have photobucket... Don't give up

 

These screenshots aren't messed up, I just have a huge 27" Monitor, and run a 1280x720 Desktop:



Step One

Click Events -> Galleries:


Then you should be here, scroll down once on this page to pick which section you want to post in:



Step Two

Once there, pick which subdirectory you pic fits in most:



Step Three

Then go to the upper right and pick "Upload Photos":



Step Four

Then click the browse button, pick out your pics, and click the one you want to upload. Repeat until you have up to three pics.



Step Five

Then scroll down and click the Upload/Submit Button:



Then you should see a screen like this while it is processing:



Step Six

Next Click the "Process Files" Button, its not very clear in this shot for some odd reason:



Good Luck,
GT6

 

TriumphGT6, your example will live on forever. I don't think anyone has ever made a " How do you post pictures " example. Your example will save countless hours for our forum members.
Thanks for you help...

 

Very nice of you to take the time and illustrate.

 

WOW-- You Have Skills!!! I would apply at Microsoft ASAP!!

Thank You!!

 

that's why we have a help section

 

I would also like to thank LonghornC4 who took the time a couple of years ago to post some detailed instructions. Lots of great help here!

 

TriumphGT6 U R the man

 

I'm a computer programmer. I read the FAQ a few weeks back. After trying to figure out how to post in this forum's galleries, I gave up. I did easily figure out how to upload elsewhere and link to that address. So, that's what I do. As pics expire in these external photo sites, older/archived posts will lose their links and become less informative.

The instructions just provided in this thread make it more clear how to upload here! Thank you! However, considering the wait for approval, the 3 pics/day rule and how well they BURIED the galleries, it appears this forum doesn't really WANT pictures! Certainly, they don't encourage it. Since pics can rob computer space quickly, I can understand their concern but don't agree with the methods. There are some other issues (rules) that are aggravating as well.

For example, I'm not crazy about the requirement to posting complete info in order to sell. It's a requirement that means you must tell every thief where you and your Corvette live. In addition, I posted (negative) feedback on a person who screwed me over last year. His response... He called me at 3 O'Clock in the morning to berate me. That only confirmed his character.

I will have several things to sell later this year, but probably won't post them here. I am more likely to use another forum or eBay because they do a better job of protecting your identity!

If it weren't for the quality of most of the posters here, I wouldn't stay. Here's a big thanks to the people who hang out here!

I do this all the time at work. Students come in and need to know how to upload to an FTP Server, so I write a guide with screenshots like that, and let them keep it.

As far as the photos in this thread expiring; I thought about that, and they are all photobucket hosted under my account (triumphgt6). They won't be getting deleted.
