How do you post the pics along with a post?

hmmm, you want to post pictures which are already saved up somewhere? or you want to make your own pic and post it?

ill go with the easy one first, the pictures which are already placed somewhere on a server, okay, first you right click the picture, select 'properties' there you'll find 'Address (URL):' copy the address, (assuming you use IE, FireFox shouldn't be very different)

then over here, type in (img)*paste the url here*(/img)
-on one note, change those brackets into ] [ brackets

i dont mind telling you how to make your own screens of course, so tell me if you need to know how to do that,



test it now, over here

[murf]

Good on you I forgot to ask the same thing a couple of days ago and just fixed a couple of earlier posts..
Thanks for asking murf

and Rani for your answer

[Rani]

anytime Jim!

and Murf, sure! ill edit this post, posting instructions.

okay, it's a bit longer, so ill list it in steps,

1- have MS paint open (or any other painting program) on a blank page, AND have the thing u want to paste/show us open on another window

2- then go to the page you want to show us, look on the keyboard for 'Print Screen' beside the backspace, above insert, which is next to home and page up, PRESS 'Print Screen'
-sometimes it doesnt work from the first press, so press it again if it doesnt, u WON'T be notified it worked though-

4- go to the paint program, and paste (Ctrl+V)

5- edit it, add text, crop it, etc, save as -> desktop -> format: jpg (smaller) or png (much bigger) just never use bmp (extrememly big)

6- go to www.tinypic.com and upload the picture (or use any other image serving website)

7- repeat older steps, in my older post to show us


phew! that took some time!

[murf]

Ooooohhh! Maybe I'll try that later on. *taking baby steps away*

Gosh I'm glad it's not complicated! LMBO! I'd rather give birth than try and understand computers! I'm really not a stupid blonde! Computers just seem so intense, so many things to remember and do. I like typing, why can't that be the only necessary step in using a computer?

Example...I'd like to post a picture with this comment.
Computer replies...type in name of picture
and then takes care of all of it. Is that so unreasonable? LOL!

a few good sites to use as a host are s26.photobucket.com or www.dropshots.com

[Rani]

oh, but that's easy Vic, seriously, follow my steps once or twice, then you'll get used to it at least reach and finish step 5, to know how to keep those wonderous moments saved for your own future references

[dingdonglulu]

Woohoo!! It worked. I was able to follow the directions and it was really easy. Thanks for the tutorial, I always wondered how people got the whole page image. ;D

This is the best reward I've ever gotten from King Skarl.

[Rani]

a few more times and you will get the hang of it, then you'll be doing them really quick, without any guide
