How to Post Photographs/ Images

Members ask how to post photos
into threads!

Hopefully below are some useful instructions.

First of all upload a digital image to your PC,
This is achieved by taking a scan or digital image
of your photo/ poster etc.

A. Adding Photos as Attachments.

When making a new post scroll down to
'Manage Attachments'
Here will be a drop down box,
where you can upload your files.

They will appear in your post as thumbnails,
which will enlarge when clicked upon.

See bottom of this post.

B. Adding Photos as Images.

1. You will need to register on a photo site,
and we recommend Photobucket

http://photobucket.com/

Once registered you can upload your digital images.

2.Once logged in, go to the top tool bar
and click on 'Upload'

3. Click on your uploading album choice

4. Click on
Customize your upload options

A box will appear, showing your custom settings,
click on the file size you require,
the bigger for more detail, and then
click on 'Save.'

Obviously beacause the larger formats are BIG, they do expand the thread outwards,
which can sometimes be distracting.

The
320x240
640x480

are the more post friendly.

5.Click on
'Select Photos and Videos'

A box will appear for you to select from your PC documents.
Chose your photos from your files.

6. Once the annoying advert and music ends, click on
'Save and Continue'

7. Below will appear your photo,
Hover over the photo, and a drop down box will appear
Showing a set of codes, URL's

Copy the bottom
IMG code

8. Paste this IMG Code
directly onto your post.
There is no need to use the Image icon in the toolbar
unless there is not an URL

Your image will appear in your pre-post like this

{IMG}http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c187/john-wayne/John%20Wayne-%202/56b86562.jpg{/IMG}

I have changed the

to the

{IMG}xxxxx {/IMG}

so as to demonstrate.

But the code entered correctly will show this

It is difficult to explain, I know
but this as good as I can put over,
and if anyone wishes to add their ideas,
please do.

Below is what an attachment will look like.

Hi Ellie,
I would love to see even a poor quality copy. However you are correct for sure........what a shame. Don't know what happened to my pictures above, or below or wherever this new thing is going to post, but I had pictures in the ones I posted on the Three Bad men thread. And. I am pretty sure the one EK corrected was larger than the one he did above. This is most exasperating. Sure hope it gets fixed soon. Bill, (Gorch) is like me.....unless we can find a way to post the pics full sized again..........we will just post them elsewhere. One thing that made JWMB a lot better than other sites was the ability to post full sized pics in the post and not having to click on them to get an enlargement. Would love to know if there is a Blue Eagles on line somewhere. Thanks, KEITH

I don't understand the problem with posting bigger images, as lasbugas seems to be OK, and I have just posted the one above!!

Just to remind our members that posting photos should be, and is, as easy as before,
but considering since our initial instructions
bot the JWMB and Photobucket have undergone upgrades.

You might find it better to delete the

direct link back to your Photobucket account

I have changed the
