Posting pics
Ok, I know there is a thread about posting pics but as a complete technophobe with the computer skills of an Amoeba plus the cheeky twats at Photofucket wanting a Kidney to host/post stuff, can someone speak very slowly and clearly and and tell me how to get pictures off my phone and onto here.
Sorry if it's a boring repetitious question but Its doing my skull in...........

Re: Posting pics
How far have you got with it? As firstly you need to upload your pics to a hosting site, such as Flickr for example. Are you able to setup an account on that and upload your pics to it?

Re: Posting pics
I'm also a complete technophobe with the computer skills of a turd but I used this outfit to post a picture on Capri Power the other day, the first I have ever posted. Very easy to use, just register with your email account then they send you a password. Then using their navigation select the picture you want to up load and finally select "upload to forum" when you are ready to insert a picture into your post.

Re: Posting pics
Goodness me that is an easy site Paul. From going onto the site, it took me just 4 mouse clicks and the pic below (as a test) was uploaded and ready to just paste in this message.Paul G wrote:I'm also a complete technophobe with the computer skills of a turd but I used this outfit to post a picture on Capri Power the other day, the first I have ever posted.

Re: Posting pics
OOps! Pehaps this forum doesn't support photoimage.
Start a post then go photoimage.Click on upload pictures (to photoimage) Then select the pictures you want to upload. Click your cursor in the post where you want the photo to be then highlight the the "hotlinks to forums" on photoimage and click the button at the end of it. That's how I did it.
Edit;- It does work because Pbar Paul uploaded his OK.

Re: Posting pics
Here is a how-to on posting pics, thanks to Paul G above for the heads up on the site used below -
This assumes you have a pic on your computer (for example on your desktop) already -
1. Go to https://postimages.org/ (you do not have to be a member or login)
2. Click Choose Images
3. Browse to the pic you wish to use and double click it (or click once and click Open)
4. Copy the Direct Link in the list (i.e. click the symbol on the right or highlight it and press Control-c)
5. Open up a new message window on here (as if to type your reply/new message, or whatever, as you normally would)
6. Type your message and when done click the Img button and then press Control-v (this will paste the link you previously copied in step 4)
7. Press Preview to see how it will look or Submit, and you're done.

Re: Posting pics
It's a good find that is Paul, very easy to use. You can also join and make up your own galleries, as you would with Photobucket, Flickr, etc.
And nice bit of welding!
