Posting jpg images

Re: Posting jpg images


You can't at the moment. From the site FAQ:
http://www.able2know.com/forums/faq.php#27

If you setup a Geocities or MSN type personal WWW site you can upload it there and then link to it if you want to..

Huskers

Here is one I just sent a friend to explain the same process:



I found it in a copyright free site just of backgrounds to use. Since the image will show up in the post you see, I can just tell you that when I inserted it in this post, I clicked on "IMG" in the toolbar of this textbox, then a window popped up and I used <control+V> to paste in a long, long, 4 line properties URL from the public msn.com site I use for posting images.

My post looks to me like a long long html code, starting [IMG]http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/ORwAaAOcWRTrHkpj8AEd etc. and it is a jpg image. jpgs and gifs work this way here.

Hope this helps! To get that URL for the image only properties (not the web page URL), you right click on a posted image and a box comes up to list it for you. Use <control+C> to highlight and copy the WHOLE URL and then you are ready to come back into the post to link it in.

Side note:

Goecities won't work as they have their servers configured to not allow "hotlinking".

There are other services that don't work as well. But MSN groups work (though they have LONG file names) and lycos hosting works.

Can someone tell me how to do this in very beginner language? I would like to post an image from my own disc........but I need step by step instructions.......

I would like to know how, too.
But, it's early in the morning...
It's 10:34 AM

Let's see if this worked.

Thanks cobalt.

Lola,
I think the picture you want to post has to be in a different location - like in an online photopage.
It didn't work with my files on my computer.
I did what cobalt said, but used the mouse .
Rightclick the picture- a new window opens- click on properties and highlight the url shown there.
You have to use the postreplay button on A2k.
Click on IMG,
a small window opens, paste the url there.
In preview you can look if/how it worked.

Was that "oops" surrounded with ivy, the image you meant to post?

The oops message is there because the server where it's located has disabled hotlinking. Hotlinking is the process through which an image or web object is linked to display inside a page on another server. Some sites do not like hotlinking because it uses their bandwidth on other pages. So that oops message is a way to stop people from linking to their images.

The reason they have those restrictions is because of people who abuse it. Some webmasters design sites and steal the bandwidth from other sites. An example would be if I had used all the buttons from another site and every time this page loaded all the images would be fetched from their server, costing them the bandwidth.

That kind of abuse means that many servers disable hotlinking other hosts don't mind.
