Up loading a picture to post HELP!

[FishBomb]

Most all my pics a jpg files how do I change the to post?

[Doug Grimm]

here is instructions that Mike gave me I'll have to give it to you in two parts Part #1


Pictures are a little different. First they have to be already loaded to a website somewhere. So, we created the Gallery.

To load them to our gallery they have to be under a certain size. 400 x 400 pixels. So use your photo editor and size it either down below that or up to as close to that as you would like.

Then....
At the very top in the Ultimate Bass Banner you will see a button for "Gallery" click on it.

Once at the gallery look in the link bar on the left of the screen. You should see a "gallery menu" inside that menu you want to click on "upload file"

It will take you to a page that has places to put your pictures location from your computer or you can use the browse button and find it on your computer and double click it and the program will load it as your selection. Click continue

The next page will say that you have successfully uploaded how every many files you chose. Just click continue at this point

Ok this is important, on this next page you will see a couple things you need to do. First is select an album, you will probably want to select "Where is your bass" from the drop down menu provided. Next put in a title for the picture, then what you want to appear as text with your pick. And finally some key words that a search engine might use to direct folks to your picture and then hit Continue. This will put your picture in that photo album.

Once we get that done lets cover the rest

Seems like a lot but it really is pretty simple. Once you have it loaded to the gallery getting it in the forum is a snap.

Give it a shot I will be here for a while to help or if you would like give me a call and I can walk you threw it

PART #2


Okay now you need to have the gallery open in one window and the forum open in another window so that you can cut and paste between the two easier.

Go to where you want to post the pictures and start a reply.

Then go to the gallery and click on the picture you want to put in the reply, this will bring up a full sized version of the picture.

Next, you need to mouse over the picture and right click on it, this will bring up a few options. The option at the bottom is "properties" you want to click on that.

A box will open up with all kinds of info about the picture. You want to copy the Address (URL). Becareful because sometimes there are three lines to the address but the section will only show two at a time.

Okay now you want to paste that address in your post. Then highlight it. Now find the icon above the smilies that has a little picture on it, it's in the second row of icons and 2nd from the left and click on it. This will put the code around the highlighted address. and thats it click post and it should appear. The only part to be careful about is to make sure when you copy the address, make sure you get it all
