New to this computer stuff. How do you guys add pictures to your signature and to your replies. I send pictures to friends by email but can't get pics in Forum. Help Please.....John

 

you have to build a webpage here and upload them to the page, then cite the page in your post

 

You have to make a "home Page" and upload your picture to it. The corvette forum goes to that site to get the img .
If you click on the home pages ( not HOME ) tab it will take you to the setup page to make your home page. There you will up load your pictures.
The next step is the tricky one.

When you go to the profile page on corvette forum and select signature click on the image button and you will get the img /img . That's the HTML tag for start image, end image.

Between the img xxxxxxxxx /img inset your home page address. When you set up your home page it gave you the address something like this..... http://corvettforum.net/c4/ocalaguy/

Note.... there is NO www in the address. Insert this address between the img tags. Also you need to put at the end of the address the file name of the picture you uploaded something like this...... http://corvettforum.net/c4/ocalaguy/mycorvette.jpg

Remember... everything has to be the same .jpg and .JPG are too different items. Type your address and photo name just as it is.

Do one picture and then review your work on the preview screen of the signature window. If you did it correct the photo will be on the top. Go to you original post asking for help and you will see the photo on the bottom of it.

Feel free to email me for more help or if this is not clear.

Thank you, OcalaGuy, for the info. I printed it for my own reference. I'm having a heck of a time even getting to the proper "home page" page - there are 3 options and the only one that appears even remotely to do with setting up a homepage requires a person to register. This is so frustrating! I am already registered! The pic of my car is not great, but it would be nice to have it out there someplace. Any further help you can give me??? Thanks in advance!

 

As I remember you have to register on the home page set up. It gives you your web page address and a password so you can edit your uploaded pictures.

Click on the home pages tab and follow the directions. You don't need to make a home page, just get in the front door and then upload your pictures to the home page. Then you reference that address in your signature and the signature screen goes to that address to get the picture.

I hope that helps, if not let me know.

I gave up. Heck with it. I "re" registered...got a webpage (I think)...uploaded my pic (I think) and got lost from there. ~shrugs~ Oh well. Thanks for trying, though! Appreciated.

(Edit: I now have a sig, I think!! Woo hoo! Thank you AC!!!)

OK... your picture address is working great. The address of your picture is.....
http://temp.corvetteforum.net/c4/mairi/mvette03c.jpg

You might want to resize your picture down to say 450x350 so it fits the signature screen better. Just click on the IMG button and insert the adress from above between the img tags and you will have your picture in the signature section.
