Plum Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Go through User Control Panel and follow prompts. You need to resize the image to 80 pixels by 80 first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Info **here**. You will need a photo hosting account such as Photobucket or FlickR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 If you are uploading from your own files the picture is probably a bit big still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Hi Chicken shack. I like your Avatar . Did you get my instructions on how to upload a normal picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken shack Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Hi Everyone who has supported my efforts at useing this site and uploading items. Now I have got an avatar and siganture I need to add images to my signature. If I have read correctly I can only do this if I add images to another website is that correct? The website has to be available to view by anyone not a secure site like face book? I need to open an account on flicker, you tube or the like? Hope you Omleters can help?

LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 You are right in thinking that you need to put it on another site first. I don't think facebook will work, but Photobucket and Flickr both do. If you have a Yahoo! email account then setting up a Flickr account is really easy, you just have to chose a user name and that's it.

LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Now go the picture you want to upload, go to 'Share this' > 'Grab the HTML code' and make sure that the HTML box is clicked. Resize it there if you want, anything that is less than 640 pixels in width should be small enough. Copy and paste the code here and I'll show you how to finish up. I'm assuming that this is you. Had a look at a few of your pics. They were fabby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Nope sorry. I meant the code for the picture , not the URL. I'm bad at explaining things, sorry. Select the picture you want to upload, then follow those steps Can you see the code there? That's the one I mean. Sorry the picture is so small.

LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 No sorry . I am terrible at explaining aren't I ?! What you are copy and pasting is the URL. We need the HTML code. 1. Go to the page of the picture you'd like to upload. 2. Near the top of the page there is a little grey box that says 'Share This' . Click on it, and a drop down menu will appear. 3. Click on 'Grab the HTML/BBCode' I think this is where you're going wrong. 4. Make sure that the circle next to 'HTML' has a mini blue circle in it, and the one that says 'BBCode' DOESN'T. This should be like this by default. 5. If you want to resize the image, click the arrow next to the thing that says 'Medium 500 (500 x 365). Select the size you would like. The lower down on the list they are, the bigger they are. Anything up to and including the second Medium ( 640 x 480 ) will be acceptable on the forum. 6. Now copy and paste the code above.

LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 You're welcome Might I suggest putting two pictures in a row rather than having them all going vertically. It's just that it's quite long... Just a suggestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
