loading pictures? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So is it true that the only way I can load any pictures to the site is by first loading them to a host somewhere on the web and then using a URL or what ever its called. Want to show a few pictures on the site and would like to know the simplist way to do this...
Thanks...Kanuck

Go to the index (link above) and there are several different links to threads on resizing and posting pics. Good luck and post some pics, we're pic whores here.

you can use my uploader in my sig if you want. Its pretty simple, just register, then hit upload, browse for the files, then hit upload again, and it will put the image tags on the links to the pictures so you can copy and paste into the thread to post the pictures!

The easiest way if your pics are sized correctly is to click the manage attachments button, then upload them directly to the board. No [img] brackets, no outside host, no problem.

I've tried the edit pictures option in microsoft paint and it still says my photos are too big. I lost one completely because it got so small.

You can allways just close paint and say dont save if you dont want to lose it, also my uploader doesnt have size requirements, and if you still want just PM me and you could e-mail me your pics and Ill re-size and post them for you if you need

hey northcountry67,when you resize in MSpaint are you saving as a JPG?If not,it'll automatically save as a bitmap and they are huge files.Just convert to jpg and you should be good to go.

Windows XP has a downloadable picture resizer from microshaft.
Easy a click to resize to a few different common sizes.
