Pic Linking & Loading examples

[DandyDon]

Ok, maybe this can be illusrate what I was trying to explain...

(1) This is a link to a pic I have on SB's Photo Gallery: http://www.scubaboard.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/67067/cat/2199

(2) This is a little more advanced hyper link to the same pic: Here I used the hyperlink symble right below the smilie symble above the white post drafting box.

(3) At the bottom you'll find a thumbnail of the pic attached from my computer files that can be clicked to show a full size pic in a new window. I added this thru Manage Attachments below the white post drafting box.

(4) And this is the pic imbedded from my SB Photo Gallery - but this is a little involved for a quick explanation...

Looks good Thanks, Don!

Here's a quick "how to embed" from SB Gallery:

Go to your image, click on it. Underneath scroll until you see "Forum Address" - copy this entire thing (CTRL+C on a pc) - you will see it has tags on either end

go to your post, paste (Ctrl+v) it into your post. viola!

BUT some tags are incomplete:
[img]/gallery/data/500/cocosraccoonpair1.jpg

You must add http://www.scubaboard.com before the first / to get this to happen:

From sites like photobucket.com and flikr, there are boxes under your images that have these

I didn't know that short cut. I've been using Copy to Clipboard, opening Word, Paste, Copy, Paste. I like your method a lot better. Was this in the instructions somewhere...??

From sites like photobucket.com and flikr, there are boxes under your images that have these codes, too. Again, just copy and paste them into your post.[/QUOTE]
[B]if you use Photobucket,[/B] please click Uploading Options and select Message Board before storing your pic; and

Watch your account limits closely - as I think you'll disable all pics if you go over, until you pay for the upgrade. :14:

I haven't gone over, and I have a ton of pictures on PhotoBucket. I usually reduce the images to 800 X 535 (Nikon images) - which are usually around 250k or so each.

I reduce to around 100-150 Kb on Microsoft Resizer Powertoy, but photobucket will accept up to 1 Mb pics, somthing to watch for....!!

The option I suggested will automaticall reduce deminsions to "Message Board ( 640 x 480 )" max.

Your 800 x 535 doesn't blow out the threads...??

Hmm, don't know that about photobucket...but then all of my images are resized to 700 longest side and 100kbs or less mostly...some ppl are still on dialup and 100kbs is more than enough usually.

With your permission, I'd like to copy your first post into the Pink Link...

Well... for some people

I have a wide screen


BTW - We call it "Jamming" a thread... it's named after an SB member :laughing:

 

[DandyDon]

I just edited my last post and y'all may have missed some of my comments.

I'm flattered that you want to use it. Please do - and give me a link. I don't guess I know that forum...??
