Pikeman- 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.comSharemation is a real pain. Don't use it!
These instructions apply for all OTHER photo storage web sites.
First!
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.
(Avatar pictures can only be 120x120 pixels maximum).
Upload your pictures to your chosen site by following their instructions.
The main page of your photo album is generally displayed in thumbnail format for reference purposes. These thumbnails are usually suitably sized for use as avatar pictures to be added to your profile.
To add an avatar (picture etc.) to your profile;
Right click on the thumbnail and choose "Copy Image Location"
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. Your avatar should be displayed in all your posts. You can change your avatar at any time.
To post full sized (400x600 max) pictures to your posts;
Open your photo album;
Click on the thumbnail to view the full sized picture.
Right click on the picture and choose "Copy Image Location"
Go to your post you want to add it to on iceshanty.com.
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.
