Picture in Post
This is a copy of a post on the main broad on how to post your own pictures
Doing it this way also saves people from having to follow separate links to picture trails etc...to find your pictures.
***PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST, SO YOU WON'T MISS ANY INFORMATION YOU MIGHT NEED, THANKS ***
Please keep in mind that you should be sure that your files are not too large, and that your pictures also are not too large as this can overload the server and also cause your page to load slowly for people. This can be especially frustrating for anyone on dialup. We want our profiles to be shared, so let's keep it simple for people to be able to view them by keeping our files small enough
This is how I do it, but you can use any photo server of your choice....so here goes, hope it helps some people out, the OH-photo team gets overloaded, so the more of us who can post our own, the better.
I use photobucket.com to add my pics to my profile. It's free and easy.
Just get your username and password set then start adding pics to the site. After they're uploaded, you'll see 3 different text lines under each pic (Be sure that your account is set up to show all 3 codes, go into account options and click yes on all 3). (I also find it easier to resize your photos to the size you'd like BEFORE you upload them to photobucket...this way you know exactly the size they will appear on your profile, ahead of time. I use PaintShop Pro 9, it has some really cool features...you can download a free trial version of this at jasc.com...or you can use something like irfanview, which you can get for free at www.irfanview.com) I size my pictures to a maximum of 350-400 pixels on the longest side, I find this to be a good viewing size, not too big, and not so small that you have trouble seeing what's in the picture.
To post a picture in your photo section of your profile, paste the URL that photobucket gives you into the photo boxes in your profile.
To post a pic in the body of your profile, paste the TAG line into your text box of your profile (where you put your updates) If you want to put pictures side by side, and they are small enough to do so, just paste in the TAG line from the first, then put in 1-2 spaces, then paste in the TAG line for the second. (best is if you have them centered also, do this by putting in the HTML code < center > before the pictures (without the spaces) and the HTML code < / center > (without the spaces) after the pictures.
The message board photos though, need to be added by the OH photo team, you can send it to them, along with your user name, user ID# and e-mail addy to [email protected]
If you need these directions at a later time, you can get it from a link on my profile, I decided to add that feature for those who are looking for this information but can't find one of my posts
Good luck and have fun.
Horney as hell!
That got your attention. All's well. Let's chat soon. Sorry, I've got to play male slave- not with Marge, but the kitchen.
Do you know why Cinderalla loved when the carriage turned back into a pumpkin. She was still in it when it rolled into the hand of the giant: Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater!
