Posting Photos How to Guide
Posted: Tue Apr 09, 2019 1:42 am
Recently somebody smarter than me suggested Post Image as a means to getting photos up easily. The forum seriously lacks photos and only the more brilliant amongst us has managed to achieve this feat.
I have tried Post Image and even for my feeble brain this is dead easy to just follow the bouncing ball.
1. Go to Post Image and register for free - no details just your email and a password.
To post an image on the forum: This looks complicated but in the time it takes to read you could have posted 4 photos. Once you do a couple you will be putting photos on every post - and so you should!
1. Open Post image https://postimages.org/
2. Click on "Choose Images"
3. This takes you to your computer to choose from "Pictures", "Downloads" or even if you keep them in files like Picasa - wherever you keep them. Find the photo you want, click on it, then if you are happy click "open"
4. This will take you back to Post Image and give you a series of options (for geniuses Post Image lets you do lots of things). Highlight then right click and Copy the "Direct Link" which is the second one down.
5. You now have your photo in your hot little hand to do with it as you will. Go to your post on the forum and click on the image icon (the little mountain sign). On your post will come up a little message with something like (img) flashing bar (img)
6. Slide your pointer over the flashing bar - you need a steady hand because it is only one letter wide between the img brackets. Right click and click Paste.
7. Voila! your photo appears.
