How to Post Pictures
 

Every other day I see people having trouble with posting pictures. I didn't see anything like this so hopefully this helps a few new guys out. One of the most common errors I see is trying to post directly from the PC. This isn't possible and simply won't work. I understand most of you guys know how to post pics because pics are what keeps this site going. There are always newcomers, though, and hopefully this will get them started off on the right foot.

Rockpick brought up a great point that it's easier to modify and help out with posting pictures when it's done from their own hosted gallery. It's a fairly straightforward process, especially once you find your own section for albums.



1) After logging in you will see a "Welcome, username." towards the top right area of the page. Click your name to view your own profile.


2) Scroll down a bit and on the right you will see an option for Albums. Click Show All Albums. What you see should be something similar to this: mblouir's albums.


3) If you don't have anything uploaded as of yet click Add Album to create a new album for your pictures.


4) Now type in a title and description for your new album. Be sure to make it public so you can show off that truck! Click Submit.


5) After you've created your album it will give you an option to upload pictures. Click on the link that says Click here to upload pictures!


6) You may upload four pictures at a time. Browse for each picture and once you've found them click Upload.


7) Rinse and repeat as many times as you want in your album.




Notes:

-Some options/links may appear differently if you have yet to upload any pictures. I forget exactly what it says, specifically at steps 2 and 3.

-Pictures will upload in reverse chronological order. This means the first pictures you upload will show up last in your album. Look at my "Evolution" album. All the pictures are in order but I had to upload them backwards, starting with the finished product. If you do something similar it makes it much easier if you number your pictures before uploading.

-Pictures will resize automatically when you upload them, but they will upload much slower. If you have the knowledge to resize your pictures before uploading it will make the process much faster. If not, don't worry about it.

-You can create many different albums for different subjects. If you want an album for interior and another for exterior, go for it!



Hope this helps a few of you new guys! :thumbsup:

Another method is using Photobucket.com, which I have always used in the past. Upon creating this thread, however, I see how much easier it is to upload to F150Online's gallery. To help you follow along the Photobucket method, I've taken screenshots.






1) Take the picture(s)

2) Upload them to your computer (picture folder or wherever you prefer--it doesn't matter)

3) Upload the pictures to: www.photobucket.com. If you've never used it before simply sign up. It's very easy. Click "Choose Files" or go to "Bulk Uploader" if you want to upload multiple pictures at one time. You can see both options in the middle of the image.

4) Find the picture(s) you want to upload and choose them.

5) Let them all finish uploading.

6) Choose the ones you want to post and copy the "IMG Code" provided directly by Photobucket. You can access this by hovering over the picture you want and the four link options will show up. You want to copy the last one.

7) Post the complete "IMG Code" directly into your post and post it up!

That's all there is to it!

Nice truck!

agreed!

Is that an everlast gym ball in your past pic Matt? If so I have the same one LOL

Yes, yes it is. :lol:

I do abs after I get back from the gym. It sucks trying to find a place to do abs in a college gym. There are constantly 30 chicks doing them in the designated area. Then there's the one creepy guy watching the 30 chicks.

Geez, I remember writing that :lol: Over two months ago!

Yeah dude, I go the abs in the corner. The girls can deal with me being there, they don't seem to care, so I just do my thing. I have my ipod on anyways so I don't pay much attention to people in the gym unless they are really hot :D

Now we know who the one creepy guy in the corner is!:lol::lol::lol:

:lol::lol: There is usually only one or too if any over there either way... Now if you were there Blue... then that would be the creepster in the corner :thumbsup:



:devil:

Oh my sweet burn. :lol:



The creepy guy at our gym is in his late 40s/early 50s. He always sits on the hanging leg raise machine for half an hour. His hanging leg raises only go up a few inches, though...never a full range of motion. He is always looking in the direction of the floor mats (where the chicks do abs). He is always wearing sunglasses...indoors! Now that is creepy....

ROFL :lol::lol:

Matt I bet he is where "Pedophile Glasses"

purdy dog! nice truck!!!!

test,test,test

Ok, so then how to you get the pics from your album to a thread?
