What if I have a jpeg on an email or on hard drive; how do I post that ?

In an email, right click and save it to your machine. You then need to have oit hosted somewhere that allows hot linking of images. There are many, but as previously mentioned, Photobucket.com is good, as is imageshack.
The main difference between those two sites is at p-bucket you join and have your own account where you can keep the images/swf files etc...in your own folders etc..... This is particularly handy for images you want to keep for long term. On the other hand imageshack is a "post as you go" type site and is better for pics that you'll only be posting for 1-2 posts and you're not concerned for keeping that image long term.
Both sites will give you all the codes you need for posting it anywhere on the web. They give you the HTML and php/BBcode for forums, and also the exact URL where the pic is hosted.
The best feature about imageshack is that they also give you the option to post the pic as a clickable thumbnail:


This is especially nice for forums because a small thumbnail loads ALLOT faster, and for people that are still on dialup it's a godsend and allows then to view threads that otherwise they would close out because of the long time it takes for some images to load.

Re: I think ___________

I think this computer tech support thread is a really good idea. As long as there aren't 100 million questions a day I would think I can probably handle them. Let me talk to mad and see if we can set up a system.

Any word yet from the mad one?

I'M BACK TRYING THIS AGAIN; PHOTOBUCKET SAYS IT WILL NOT UPLOAD A

JPEG IMAGE ?

IS THAT CORRECT ? I HAVE PICS I SAVED TO MY HARD DRIVE THAT HAVE NO URL ATTACHED AND AM TRYING TO POST THEM.


HELP ????????

* Error: Unable to upload the file "d_24.jpe".
JPE files are not an allowed image type.

[MJZiggy]

Check your file extension. It should say .jpeg. Yours says .jpe. Try resaving the image file as a .jpeg and upload again.

That was just a test

How can I resave as jpeg when it's on HD without a website ? Do I rename it ?

No, just renaming it doesn't change it to a jpeg. You can do it a few ways- this is the easiest:


1. Open the image and click File.Save As and choose jpeg from the drop down.

HTM files are not an allowed image type.



I DID THAT AND TRIED UPLOADING and RECEIVED THIS MESSAGE

But now you have to put it on an image hosting site like photobucket, then they will give you a link. Don't ask me how, I've never done it. And shouldn't pictures with names like 'galkiss' go in the garbage can?

[MadtownPacker]

You are saving it as an HTML file. Just get the first one that had the JPE on the end and rename the file "whatever.jpg". If you are not able to see the JPE or JPG extensions PM me a way to get you on IM so I can walk you through it.
