Posting pictures

Okay, give!
How do I size the pictures small enough (bytes) to post on here, not a photo bucket?
Then what is the procedures to post the pic, after resizing?

I just upload them to windypix.com. You can choose preferences on the main page then choose Height: 800. Leave the width alone. It'll resize it for you. Easiest I've found without breaking out paint shop pro

When you upload it tells you "copy this to post on bulletin boards" so just paste whats there in your message and boom you got a pic.

Hum, I guess windypix will not let me use my iPod, it will Not
browse, as required on the website.

IDK about that. I use a computer. You might try uploading somewhere and then clicking "remote" and putting the link in there. That makes it pull from the other site to windypix then they'll resize it the same way if you enter 800 in the height under preferences.

I put the site in my notes, I'll give it a shot in the morning, thanks!

Here's how I do it!
Right click on your pic.
Click on edit.
Go to resize your pic. MInes on the bottom right.
Change it to the size you need.
Save it.
You're done.

I'm a computer retard so I got a mac. When photo files are too big to upload I just take a screenshot of the pic and post that. Takes about two seconds. Sorry I can't help you with your ipod.

I have a massive CPU at work with many graphic programs I'll get in there this morning and give it a shot, thanks to all that have replied. Maybe I can post from there!

well I guess that didn't work!

[Hx16457]

hum, still can't figure it out, once I put the picture in Windypix I can see it, but I don't see the "copy this to post on bulletin boards", as you mentioned. What am I missing?

i know you said no Photobucket but its the way to go. its free, easy, and you can do it from a smart phone.

When you upload it it'll give you a preview. Then underneath that you'll see it says things like this:

Image Links
Social Networks:
Small Thumbnail link
BBCode (Forums)

etc.
You choose any of the links that says BBCode (Forums) and just paste that into your post. It looks like you picked a regular link and put it in using the picture icon on the forums here.

[Hx16457]

[Hx16457]

[Hx16457]

it is a little bigger, is there another site that others are using to post without the water mark???? I see lots of pictures on here without it, how are they doing that?

[FetchMeAPepsi]

Looks like you got it while I was gone. The last one you didn't copy the whole link so it showed up as text and a pic.
The watermark I get sometimes, sometime I dont.

I use my Facebook to store pics and use the link from there lol

If you're using an IPod/IPhone, download the free Photobucket app and find the settings menu.





Chose "Upload" and set the "Image size" to 640x640 max. All the pics you upload will now automaticly set to 640 max width/height. It saves this setting so you only have to do this once, not everytime you upload a pic. You can also create separate albums here under the "Default Album" tab for the photos to be uploaded into. I have a few for my different projects to keep things organized.




To upload a pic, go to the "Upload Media" menu and click "choose existing".





Choose which album, then click on the picture you want to upload.




Once you click on a pic it'll go to the "processing" page. Your pic is now uploaded, and you can access it in the "My Albums" tab, or on your account on Photobucket.com.





To post a pic from your iPod, go to the "My Albums" page and choose the album that you uploaded the pic to.




Choose the Album,



Then find the pic you want to upload, click on it to open it, then click the "i" at the bottom to open the link box. Click the bottom "IMG" code to copy the link for the forum.




All you have to do then is open Safari/67-72chevytrucks.com, and paste the IMG code in your forum message wherever you want the pic to show up. It goes quickly and smoothly once you get used to it, and it's way easier/quicker than using a digital camera and having to transfer the pics to your computer, then attatching them to your message using the forum's galllery. And you can take pics and post from your iPod (or any device with photobucket's app) wherever you are.

If you want to post from a computer just find your account on photobucket.com. They're already resized and it's the same process- find the pic you want to upload, click the "IMG" code, then paste the code in your post. I like photobucket since there's no watermarks or ad bars in the pic itself, or visible/separate link codes- just the pic.
