How do i host a pic?

[podman]

Ive read some other threads but none the wiser, just ended up more confused by the variety of methods people seem to use with varying degrees of success.

Ive got some jpegs saved to my desktop of the Gixer, how do I got them on here?

TIA

Start here. www.flickr.com

I use www.photobucket.com set up an account FREE, then upload your pics.

Under each pic on the account you will see 4 lines, headed as:-

Email & lm
Direct Link
HTML Code
IMG Code

To the right of each, is some text in the box, copy the one in the "Direct Link" box.

Then post on here as per normal, and where you want the pic, type the following,

"The open bracket, ie "(" is not needed, but is only here to prevent a pic sort of coming up", so type the following inside the brackets.

([pic]Then paste what you copied from the Direct Link, then type [/pic])

So you only post which inside the square bracekts

Mine looks like this inside the square brackets:-

after the end bit of ca.... for some reason doesnt show, but it is Car.jpg



Good luck

Didnt know that, have to give it a try later, tks.

i think some forums dont like the pic option. depends on the tags they have enabled. i've never tried the pic option myself, got told about the img on a 4x4 forum ages ago & stuck to that.

I'm really thick with computers, but the Flickr Photo site is a piece of piss to use.

Copy the URL and add [pic] at the beginning and [/pic] at the end of the URL.

If I can do it, anyone can.
