How To Post A Photo/Video

[Packgator]

I've forgotten how to post a photo and/or video in a thread. Can someone please "remind" me? Thanks.

Inside your reply box, there are 9 icons across the top left. Photo is 3rd from the right, and video is 2nd from the right.

Thanks Scott. Is there a way to post a pic I took that is stored on my computer?

You could setup an account with Flickr, or one of the other photo upload sites.

Thanks for helping out SC. There is actually a way for posters to upload pictures to an album. Here are the steps, let me know if I missed something.

1. Go to the upper right of your screen and click "My Profile".

Sweet!! I never knew we could do that!!!

That McStomped pic is pretty funny.....rep points for you!!!

It has actually been setup for some time but I never made instructions for it. I also need to make sure all members have this access because I believe right now it is GC access group only. Have you already tried it out?

Thanks but I might have to give you negativate points for not noticing it back when suh had his temper tantrum. :lol:

BTW - At this time the max image size is 1600x1200 and you have 30MB of space to use for now. I think I will work it out so that your space is based on membership age and post count.

Wow. I'm surprised.

Are you bandwidth limited? What if somebody gets crazy and uploads their entire gay porn collection - do they charge extra?


Never mind - just saw the 30mb limit.

I dont believe there is a bandwidth or diskspace limit. We can play it by ear and bump it up as needed.

My bad, I forgot to make a redneck version of the instructions :lol:

See that there step 9 screenshot above boss. Once the image is in your album click on it and in the bottom right you will see the "BB code" box. Just copy it into your post and you are set.

[Little Whiskey]

when I click on the pic, I get the following error message:


Invalid Picture specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

[MadtownPacker]

Try uploading one again.

missed step 8. Got it. Thanks
