Tips on Including Photos/Images in Posts/Sigs

Hi, folks!

If you're having problems including images, here are some things to keep in mind:

1. You must use the [.image] and [./image] tags (minus the periods) before and after your image URL. Or make life easy on yourself and just click the "Image" hyperlink near the bottom of a new post or reply (in the "Instant UBB Code" area).

2. Images from shutterfly DO NOT WORK. They use strange characters in their URLs and they don't include a file extension, which results in display problems. Images on other sites may not work either, for similar reasons.

3. You are welcome to upload your images to our server, where you should have no problems displaying them in your psots or signatures. Complete instructions on how to do this are located here.

Hope this helps!

Re: Tips on Including Photos/Images in Posts/Sigs

Hi Jen,

What about pictures for trip reports? I have included over 100 images in each report, and I'm assuming you don't want all of those stored here?

I've tested several services similar to Shutterfly, and can't get any of them to work. I'd prefer not to use my personal web site, as that will involve an additional step of creating web pages as well as HTML for each picture posted.

HELP!!!!!

Re: Tips on Including Photos/Images in Posts/Sigs

That's a good point. You are welcome to upload them here if you like, but I understand that it would be easier to use a photo service. Sure wish I knew what we could do here. Does anyone have any ideas?

Re: Tips on Including Photos/Images in Posts/Sigs

Look into whether you can FTP to your web space. FTP is a simple upload, and you wouldn't have to create a web page or html for your pictures. If you uploaded a file, such as "me-and-mickey.jpg" then you can link to http://yourwebsiteaddress.com/direct...and-mickey.jpg

Tikibird,

I just tested Webshots with a couple of photos and they end in the .jpg and I got them to work, you could use that photo service. Hope that this helps

www.webshots.com


Here is a pict from webshots, I know that it is too large but here you go.

Re: Tips on Including Photos/Images in Posts/Sigs

Mary,



I'm getting the little red x for the picture in your post



(the one in your signature is showing, though).



Dave, thanks for the tip. I've decided to use the webpage creator included with my package, but it is pretty time consuming to set up. I may try the FTP route.



Also, why is it that the pictures linked from Shutterfly prior to the transfer are showing? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that they are, but can't figure out why they are working!



Trying out what I've worked on to-date.

Re: Tips on Including Photos/Images in Posts/Sigs

That is really strange because it is showing up on my end. My signature photo is from my webpage, and the other was from webshots. Too strange.

<font color="purple"> It could be that your image is already stored in your cashe, so it will bring it up. But since the rest of us don't have it in our system, we all get the dreaded red x.

Can you give me a link to an old post with a linked Shutterfly photo that works?

Re: Tips on Including Photos/Images in Posts/Sigs

Ah, I'll bet it is cached on my machine, right? I was referring to my last TR. Very sad if all of those pics are gone - that was ALOT of work.

Re: Tips on Including Photos/Images in Posts/Sigs

Jennifer:

I posted something with photos tonight and had to go through the passporter site in order to post the pics rather than link to shutterfly. I was also wondering why old trip reports with shutterfly links still show the photos. Here's a link to my last year's trip report. http://www.passporterboards.com/ubb/...art=1&amp;vc=1 It appears that the photos are showing. How can the old ones still be recognized even with the crazy properties (i.e. no .jpg extension) but new ones can't be added? Just wondering.

Re: Tips on Including Photos/Images in Posts/Sigs

Jennifer, I wanted to thank you for the link to www.myimager.com you included in the photo guidelines. I used myimager.com to make my new signature pics and avatar, and it was very easy to use. Now I don't have to worry if my pictures are too large to be in my signature!

If anyone hasn't used myimager.com, Jennifer gives very good directions in the post discussing picture guidelines:

It's late and I can't figure it out

I still can't figure this picture thing out...new to the boards, so I don't even know the "old" way of uploading pictures...

I was posting a note in the TR threads and clicked on "manage images", uploaded the image I wanted; it seems to be stored in my home, but no where does it tell me how to get it attached to the thread I was replying in....

help (and try to keep the technical lingo to a minimun (it's almost midnight here in Ontario)!
