Pictures in Posts.

Post by engy »

It seems quite a few people are having problems using the Image (This site uses BBCode, See Options)

Step 4. Post your Pic/Gif/Or whatever.
A. Type post.
B. Paste the stuff you just copied.
C. Preview your Post to make sure you did it right.

Step 5.
A. Look at your post.
B. Clap yourself on the back.

There are of course many other ways to do this; however, I find this the simplest way.

I haven't actually ever hit a limit on this site. I would guess at 5 megabytes. However, I would keep your pictures under 1MB; as that is the limit for quite a few sites out there.

A common mistake is for someone to use the img button. Which works just fine, however, some people put spaces in.

Example:
Withspaces:
[/img] http://www.filenanny.com/files/46911531 ... 20Logo.gif [/img]
Without:
Image
That .gif is 3.6MB; as you can see it takes a while to load. And the first few times it runs by it's frames are slowed... So be kind, and keep file sizes small. You can see the differing loading times with my cut down avatar and the full sized gif.

The easy way to use the buttons in the Message Body, section is Highlight/Select the words/link/section/ect. you want to effect, then click the button.

Keep in mind; this will only work on a website that uses BBCode, and if you ever check the box; "Disable BBCode in this post" it won't work. And this will not work in any teases you produce. You can do it the HTML way, however, you'll have to turn it on; and this is the keep it stupid simple method.

As Dark suggested, use the Technical Support forum if you want to test this feature out. However, I think Preview button does a good enough job...

Abbreviations:

I.E. - In Example
HTML - Hyper Text Markup Language
URL - Uniform Resource Locator
IMG - Image
BBCode - Bulletin Board Code
.gif - Graphics Interchange File
.jpeg - Joint Photographic Experts Group
MB - Megabyte

Wow, and a first post. I'd say that's better than an introduction thread first post!
