Tutorial - How to post an image.

hmm...
if this works ...


thats my little girl. ;-)

I DID IT!!!!!!!



wow.. that is a big picture..

Am still at it.. getting urls with tags is my current challenge. Breaking up the original address into two usable urls won't work. For me, that is.

I'll start fresh, using different examples.

Thanks again.

added by edit:
I think I got it, the following morning(Dec. 24), but I'm sure I was doing the same steps as the night before to no avail.



Here's what I did:
1. Paste the image and save its url onto an empty space on a Word document. Minimize pages for quick changes and suspend each step.

2. Copy site url from its address bar, and click and save on the post's URL option.

3. Flip to the Word document page and copy the image's url. Flip back to the Reply page and paste as the page reference.

You then have a url to produce a picture-link. My example here links you to the Warner Brothers site.

thanks once again, timberland.

What size did this come out?

It should be big, she's beautiful. Shewolf how did you get that pic onto this thread?

for shewolfnm's picture

bookmark

Forgive me for buttin' in here - I imagine what she did was upload the pic from her machine to a website which allows hotlinkin', then clicked on the picture - or its link - on that website, in order to cause her browser to display it specifically, not the page its on or linked from, copied that URL, pasted it between this site's image tag code in a "Post Reply" box, and clicked "Submit" - its all explained in depth and detail several times on this thread, startin' with the very first post. Its what this thread is about, after all.

Timber, I have pics in ravens realm, but when I post them on a thread they come out tiny. I can't make them bigger. What am I doing wrong?

Is it ravens realm or me? I want to be able to post art work, but it makes no sense until I can make the pics bigger.

Paula, Have you heard of Picture Trail?

When you upload a picture you can actually choose between 3 sizes - small, medium and large.

If you can post a link to the album the pictures are in, paulaj, I'll take a look and see if I can offer ya any help.

o.k. hold on.

That's it Timber.

This is what i get-

In real life this is the size of a grapefruit, look at it, it looks like a walnut!

OK ... I think what's goin' on is you're copyin' the URL for the thumbnail of the image you want:

http://sc.groups.msn.com/tn/9A/10/TheRavensRealm/10d/1dd3.jpg

Which gives you

What you want is



In order to get that, click the thumbnail to open the large image. Then, right-click anywhere in the image itself, and select "Properties". Left-click-and-drag through the entire URL (it'll be pretty long, and not all of it will be visible in the "Properties" field at one shot, so make sure you drag down and to the right to highlight and get it all), then right-click again and select "Copy"



You should get this:


(Dont'copy this green text - it won't work - I broke it into lines to keep the long URL from spreadin' the page view here)

Now, paste that into Notepad or some other text editor - even into a reply box here - and remove everything beyond the .jpg - in this particular case, what you've gotta dump is the text string

Then place the URL, which now ends with .jpg between the image tags in a reply box here, click submit, and you should get what you're after.
Edited when I noticed I typed too many "N"s in the word "image"

Paula, click on the thumbnail and enlarge it, then you can right click and select properties, copy and paste that to the image message, for the image to come up you have to delete the text after jpg. (indicated in red)

EDIT (MODERATOR): Link modified to prevent pageview distortion

Maybe this time?

Well thank you so much gentlemen, your the best!

Semper fi :-)

You are welcome. Glad to have been able 2 help.

I just noticed that Timber had beat me to the punch and that our posts were almost identical.
