Being able to see the pictures

[Deleted]

JC seemed to be unable to see the photos on here....

There is the facility on this forum to speed up reading by blocking the images posted.

Go to 'Modify Profile'
Scroll down to 'Account Preferences' for tick boxes "show images"

Hope this helps

You probably can't get into 'modify profile' if your account isn't activated.

Thanks for that insight 4WD - might explain how I found it today ;D

As for putting pics on... I managed the avatar via imageshack, but somehow got 3 the same on imageshack and can't see how to delete 2 of them

Once pic was on there and 'avatar' button clicked, I right clicked and "copy url" came up, left clicked on that and transferred to box in the 'modify profile' section.

Better let someone who knows what they're doing explain if that sounds like rubbish

I do prefer photobucket for hosting - www.photobucket.com
www.imageshack.us is fine but often very slow for me.

You can create sub-albums, and let people view and comment on them like flickr (another good option for hosting)
They show the code you need to insert full size image or thumbnail below each uploaded picture. For this forum copy the square bracket [ img ] verson.
Ideally resize to about 700 pixels on longest side first, which will make size about 100kb usually - uploading much quicker - but with most using Broadband now it's not vital.
I think Photobucket reduces the size of displayed images to 800 pixels max anyway (not sure about that in all cases though)

Thank you Joyce - there is a whole new world of pictures for me to look at now - sadly I haven't mastered the art of posting them yet - just wait a little longer and I will.

Just noticed the Blue Stars and I have even got two stars!!!!!!!!
