I'm not a smart man, I just BS people into thinking I am lol. I finally got my digital camera to halfway work and would like to post some pics of my latest PSK. Could someone PM SIMPLE instructions please? Thanks.

Please CC me too.

I use photo bucket at http://photobucket.com/

You can upload all the photos you want and the site will give you the appropriate links to cut and paste in the forums. The "direct link" gives you a hyperlink and the "IMG code" let's you post a copy a copy of the picture in your message. I've heard that photo bucket has an internal re-sizer as well, but I haven't figured that out yet.

Um Jac? Exactly what was simple about that? I'm a man. And I wasn't that smart to begin with.

1. Upload image to TinyPic.com.
2. Copy and paste the appropriate URL to your post.

Photobucket.com allows more control, but Tinypic.com is easier and doesn't require an account.

Thanks Ireckon

We're definitely on the right track here. What little I know it this:

1. Post your pics to a photo website. (I use flickr, since I already have an account, but any will work.)
2. The photo website will provide a URL for each image. Copy this URL.
3. Paste the URL into your message. To have the image automatically appear (as opposed to the URL link only) use this exact format: [img]url-that-you-just-pasted[/img].

That sequence works for me, though my images don't come through full-width like some others.

I wonder if HikinJim might chime in with some tips. He posts some gorgeous photo essays.

BTW mods, are you still recommending a tiny image size?

Thanks Doug!

Okay, following up:

The "exact format" I posted (copied from the FAQ section) was "image" in square parentheses and "/image" also in square parentheses.

But these were automatically truncated to "[img]" etc. when the post appeared. There is HTML voodoo at work here. Maybe either format will work?

Now I'm lost again.
