Hi everyone.....not been here for a looong time.

Anyhow...does anyone know of a good free image hosting site,that is easy to use,please ?? I was showing some people on another site my 'motorhome' and I think it was Mandrake that said he'd never seen anything like that on here. So,I thought that I'd put the pics up here,but the image hosting site that I used went down a while back (picturebay) and now it seems that e-bay have taken the name and made it a pay for site !
In fact,is there a way to take pics from my computer and load them directly to this site ?? Anyone know ?? I'm not too hot with tech stuff on computers.....;)
 
Most of us on here use photobucket, its free and easy to use. good luck:D:D:D
 
O.K. thanks.... Let me see if I can work it out (don't hold your breath ! lol). I was sure that I used to upload pics directly from my computer to another site,but that was a long time ago.
 
Disclaimer... these instructions are PC relative. If you use anything else, like a Mac, or an ORIC-1 then the method is the same, but the clickage might be different...
So, what do you do?
Well, you use a free online host such as PhotoBucket.
So here we go.. Photobucket in one easy lesson...

1. Goto Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket

2. If you dont already have an account (if you do, skip to 3.), you need to register. Its free, and not at all painful. If you managed it here, you'll manage it there too... then once youre registered...

3. Login.

4. Click on the "UPLOAD" button...

5. The page will change... you'll see some boxes with some buttons at the side with the word "BROWSE" on them... click one...

6. A browse window will open where you can select the file on your PC you want to upload...find it, click it, then click "OPEN" (yeah, i know youre not opening it, but thats what it says )

7. If you want to upload more than one... click the next "BROWSE" button.. once youve selected all your files... click upload.

8. wait. You'll get a status bar.. it might take a few seconds depending how big the photo is, and how fast your connection is...
Once its uploaded, not much happens, but pay attention and you'll notice that a thumbnail of your image has appeared lower down the screen... thats your pic, from your computer, on the internet!!! W00T!!! etc.

9. Now, the bit some of us seem to have trouble with... linking the image here... You'll notice under the image are 4 boxes. the only one you're interested in as far as the Wildcamping goes is the bottom one...
It should look like this :

piccy.jpg


Click where it says "IMG CODE" and the word "COPIED" will appear briefly next to your mouse pointer... that has copied the code you need to your "clipboard"... Now, come to your posting on here... click in the text window just to make sure... doesnt matter which forum, you can do it in any... and either right click, and select "PASTE"... press "CTRL+V".. or even select "EDIT" on the menu bar and click "PASTE"....

10. VERY IMPORTANT!!! Always press the "Enter" key at least once after each image... or your post will look crappy and nobody will read it.

11. Type some twaddle to go with the pic.

12. Cick the "POST" button...

13. Youre done... the end.

Thanks to Micheal on another forum for letting me " Borrow" this :)

well , dutifully followed instructions , got me thumbnails

only problem ..above each it says......edit/share /delete and picto of a mobile
underneath....nowt!

instructions in words of one syllable please :confused:
 
If you move your curser over the thumbnail,
"img code" etc. will appear underneath!
 
If you click "edit" above the thumbnail,
then you can resize. etc.
 
nothing appears underneath , except my handle , which is there all the time

am using my XP computer , but don't see what difference that makes

Click to expand...

You might be on your Photobucket latest activity page

If so:

Click on the TAB "All Albums"

Choose "Just Browse" from the 2 Buttons available
(Organise These or Just Browse)

This should now display your Thumbnails with the Links & IMG codes Below

Just copy the IMG Code & paste on ere to display the Photo :)
 
ok , right so far , clicked on IMG code , highlights ...but nothing saved :confused:
