[reptilelady]

Hi, I would like to post some pictures of my geckos, but am not sure how to do it. Do youhave touse photobucket and then get them from there. Alot of the threads have pictures when you open them. Please help.
Thank you

Yes they have to be "hosted" somewhere, Mark

This should help.

1- you have to have a host like photobucket or picturetrail, etc. when you upload your pictures you will see something like this:

You want to highlight the direct link to the image and copy it.

2 - come to the forums here and click on the icon in this image here:


3- paste the text you copied earlier into the box:

Just to add something to Joe's explanation, should you be wondering. Photobucket for sure, and maybe the other hosting sites are free.

Photobucket also allows for some basic editing as well. See;

www.photobucket.com

It all seems a little complicated at first - at least to some of us - but once you get the hang, it works well.

Photobucket is blocked from viewing by some networks, although most people will be able to see the images.

Facebook won't work.

Flickr should work and doesn't seem to be blocked by my employer.

Thank you for all your help again. My son was able to figure things out and you can view my pictures on the Lizard Forum.

we should sticky this thread or move it somewhere safe, posting pics is not an uncommon quiry....

[Spankenstyne]

It is now stickied. Thanks to everyone for the helpful posts.

any more stickies and we'll need a forum category just for stickies!

I looked earlier to find a place to put it, but couldn't see anywhere better unless we had a photos/collections category or a field trips category.

Something else to talk to Jason about I guess (Lets start a list). A F.A.Q. section would suffice I'm thinking. Along with an "Other" or "Misc." section in the Classifieds as well. "Our" LOL Jason went to place an ad for his Reptile Party business & had no where to put it. There are the odd things that come up that it could be used for anyway. Its under "events" or whatever it is now, but should go with the rest of the classifieds (if we had a section). THX Mark
P.S. other Jason Q is to get Jamie Board Member status here as well.
