Picture Posting Instructions

I'm making this a separate post so members can find it easier  (updated 1-3-08)

Picture Posting Instructions;(from rgfixit with a few modifications)

Your photos must be stored online in order to post them.

You can open a free account with  www.photobucket.com, www.myfishingpictures.com, or www.hunt101.com


The following instructions are for photobucket account members:

To add an Avatar picture to your account...

1st - resize the picture you want to a maximum of 120 x 120 pixels on your computer.
2nd - open up another window to photobucket and upload that photo to your photobucket account.
3rd - Left click on "IMG Code" for that picture (this will copy the photo info)
4th - Open your Iceshanty "profile", then click on "forum profile information" and paste the address to the "I have my own picture" box and check that box. .
5th - Then click on the "change profile" button on the bottom right of that page.
Your avatar should now be displayed in all your posts. You can change your avatar at any time

To post pictures to the site...

1. Upload your pictures to your photobucket account.
2. Resize any pictures you'd like to post to a maximum of 400x600 pixels. Larger pictures distort the forum page and take longer to load. This can be done easily in Photobucket using the "Edit" options.
3. Open your photobucket album and find the photo you want to add. Place your cursor over the picture and a drop down menu will appear. Left click on the 'IMG Code" and the picture will be automatically copied to your "clipboard".
4. Go to your post you want to add it to on iceshanty.com, right click and "paste" the info.
(if you copy the image code, it already has the "img" tags on the address and no further action is needed.)


For other photo storage sites that don't install the "img" codes onto your photo addresses, you'll have to add them manually.

The "Add BBC tags:" tool bar is at the top of every message dialog below the "Subject" dialog box and the "Message icon". In the lower row, click on the 2nd icon from the left...the "Insert Image" icon(it looks like a small picture).

The command [ img][/img] will appear in your text message.
Paste the address of your picture between the commands like this;
[ img]paste your image location here [ /img]
Be sure not to add any spaces or other characters.

Preview your post to be sure your picture is there and then choose post.

Good job separating and sticking this post.  I used it to learn myself. 

The one thing that you do not mention and may want to add is that you can
resize your photo using the Photo Bucket edit feature.  I just hit resize-50%.

My computer has a real crappy intro version of Photo Shop and I find this much easier.

On myfishingpictures.com is an "image link". Just "copy" that link, then click on the little icon (on Iceshanty post)that looks like a picture(it's the 2nd one from left side), this will appear--> [img][ /img]     Now just put your mouse pointer between the brackets in the middle and "paste" your image link.


It should look like this(except I added a space in the last "/img" so you could see it) ------> 
[img]http://www.myfishingpictures.com/img/091711.jpg[ /img]

Its the link, not the code, gotcha.  Thanks a ton.

Bean -

I don't know why you complained about Sharemation. 

Because sharemation used to (don't know if they still do) limit the amount of views per picture. So on a big forum like this, it wouldn't take long for the views to be used up and then just a red X would appear. Never had that problem with other photo posting sites. I want to see the pics, not red X's.
