adding and posting pics

[murdock6701]

so how the hell to do attach pictures? GRRRRR! finally got some shots of my pond and I can't add to the members pictures or even attach a pic to a thread! the "add tags" will let me select but just inserts html text to my message - I can't even attach an emoticon! HELP!

Click reply on the previous poster's message and you should be able to post an emoticon. For the image, you click on the photoshop or flickster icon (not available with quick reply) and then you can post a link of pics from your photoshop or flickster account. (I think) For posting an image directly, try putting in <IMG></IMG> (I think). Of course, you may also have to type the rest of a basic HTML document (simplest form there is) for that to work. I'm pretty sure that's how you do it but I'm sure Carl or Clint could answer it better.

nothing works - am replying to your message and the emoticns don't work - joined photobcket and they don't recognize my google user name or password that I used to join this site - not fun anymore - good bye

Sorry, that might have been mean of me. I meant to be silly but that may have been teasing. Sorry, I didn't notice before I posted it...


Update: I deleted the post just in case.

There was a thread in the updates and information board about this that has a help link posted as a tutorial, which is a simple and good read:
Everything Aquatic; Pictures

The html codes will NOT work on this board (<img> etc.) like on the MSN boards which are set up more like a web site. This board is set up as the more common BB board and uses BBcodes (which are actually simpler, you just cannot do as much)
The home page is a a true web site that uses full html.

Back to this board; you must host a picture (as noted in other threads in we are asking that persons simply get a photobucket account or similar (I host my own), and then simply place the link using the codes provided in the add tags section above every reply, this includes smiles which only need to be clicked on to work (you will only see their code until you preview or post)
The tutorial link above also helps explain this.

For instance (I am leaving space in the code so that it will not work, so do not paste):
Here is a picture code:
[ img ] your-picture.jpg [ /img ]

Hope this helps some

Photobucket is seperate entity from this ProBoards (the host here), Google, MSN, so you would need a separate account for this.
If you do not care for photobucket, there is also Flicker, although both are actually far better than MSN as they allow much more pictures and you can resize amd they automatically provide the codes for BB forums such as this so all you have to do is simply paste, this is why this forum format is so popular as there are so may using it which makes for more tools. Personally I admit I still prefer html and website formats, which is why I host my own pictures (but this take more time as everything is doen from scratch)

Once you host the pictures at photobucket they give you the code, otherwise I hosted a couple of your pics myself:

Again place between the tags [ img ] [ /img ]

I think people should use the photobucket because all your pics or videos have multiple formats. It seems photobucket is VERY internet friendly and realizes people love to post. The image code is literally just that simple as I found yesterday. Just write blurb.

"This is my Emperor Cichlid"

and in here, when you are on photobucket, you just click in the section listed as img code, and it should auto copy for you. Come back to this window, and just paste in.

Enter

"This is John saying DOH!"

Image code paste
Enter
"Getting the idea now?"

Image code pasted
Enter

That's about as easy as I think I can put it lol. That is by far ten times easier then the other forum trying to type out all that code.
