Tank PICs...how to....

Post by Gerwin » Thu Nov 02, 2006 10:31 am

Doug,
I have had several people ask how to put pics on the site.

As I will tell them wrong and the files be to large, more than likely.

Could you in easy to understand instructions, walk us through it, please?

And maybe a specific gallery section heading in the forum area...

There is no way to "post" pics to the forum. Images must be hosted by a server somewhere on the internet, and linked to in a forum post. Images can be included in forum posts by either link or inline. Linking is the preferred method as inline forces any viewer of the thread to wait for any image(s) to download before they can read or view any of the thread. If you have dial-up, this can be unacceptably tedious.

If you are speaking of adding photos to the website Gallery, currently registration on the gallery is not enabled, as it is not integrated with the forum registration database. With advance notice, I can accept images of reasonable size via email, and can then upload them to the Gallery. I can also set up accounts for Mods or Admins on the Gallery so they also can add photos directly.
