how do you insert a picture on this? ...zap!

 

[img] picture's web address [/img] -just remove any spaces that shouldn't be there.

 

the pictures are on my hard drive(kik *** model cars)...i'm still lost...zap!

 

Zap,, You need to move them to your gallery then load them in the thread. You can not move them from hard drive to post them here..

Sled...

 

They need to be saved somewhere on the net for us to see them. Try creating a gallery here (if you don't already have one), then you can upload you pics whenever from whereever (within reason of coarse).

 

i've been trying that but it wont let me ...zap!

 

Won't let you What? Create a gallery? upload to the created gallery? Post the uploaded pictures here in a thread?

More info. What operating system, which browser.....?

 

i created the gallery..i browse my c-drive..i find the model pics..i hit save...then i hit add...then it waits oh 20 sec and then it says a "error' has occoured...zap!

 

You may have the wrong file extensions. You can only use the following file extensions:

JPEG
JPG
GIF
PNG

Example would be:

Photo.JPEG

How big are your pictures? Megabytes? If they are big that may cause a problem as well.

 

I had the same problem when I first created my gallery. I was using Mac OS with IE as my browser. As soon as I changed to Netscape, the problem went away. I just did a search to try to find out about your problem. Couldn't find anything. I know other people have had a similar problem, but I can't remember what the solution was. Maybe someone will see this and help.

 

i'll just have to wait for my wife to figure this out..if anyone can she can!!!! ...zap!

 

Ha, that's the same excuse I use when I can't balance the checkbook!

 

Hi Zap,
I saw that you already had your pics in your gallery
The way I do it is to go to your gallery and click on the picture you want to post. Then with the mouse "right click" on it.
and go down to properties. See where it says location.......
Click and highlight that whole url address by dragging your mouse over it while using the left mouse button. After it is highlighted. Hold your CTRL button down and press C (this copies it).
Then come here just like you did to post a message. Then look where it says vB code to the right of that is a IMG button. Press on that , this will bring up a small box, then all you do is Press and hold CTRL button down and press V (this pastes) what you copied (what you highlighted). It should now post in your reply body.
I know that sounds like a lot. But its fairly easy. There may even be an easier way to do it, but at least this will get you going.

When you buy a digital camera, most of the time it will be set for the absolute largest picture size it can take. Unless you are looking at ****, there is no good reason to keep your camera on the largest picture setting. The pictures are HUGE and take forever to upload, and they are usually too big to upload onto online galleries. See if you need to resize your pics, save them as .JPG (NOT .bmp or whatever proprietary format might be used by some camera makers) and then you should be able to upload them. Anything up to about 200KB should be small enough for easy uploading and viewing.





ooops, looks like Saleen figured it out. COOL CAR! (and the pic is only 67KB so ignore my advice above).

 

Also, for additional information, try searching within the QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SITE forum. This one has been covered SEVERAL times there...
