m00nie Posted 12 November 2010 Share Posted 12 November 2010 yea upload the pic to imageshack. (no need to join unless you want to delete the image later). then it will give you some linkls.. you want the direct link.. copy the link (highlight it all and press ctrl c or right click and copy) then in a reply click the polaroid pic and paste your link (or type [ img] your link [ /img] without spaces (image shack may even have the full code allready there actually??) if your using a picture from the net allready you meant to right click it and select save picture as then upload it to image shack people just tend to get the link for the picture and use that in [ img] but this is hotlinking and shouldnt be done..

Mee Posted 12 November 2010 Share Posted 12 November 2010 Cheers mate, 1st part made sense. 2nd bit about front and end bit confusing, do I copy/paste image onto post? Sorry to sound thick!!! Personally, i use Photobucket - Click Here. You click 'upload file' and select your file, and then it appears in your gallery (or something a long those lines). Upload - Then click save, this will take you to your photos. You then hover over one with your mouse, and highlight the text next to 'Direct link'. Copy that. - Then on the FoxesTalk reply box, click on the picture icon (5th from right). Then just paste your image in and click 'inset image' Then just send your reply on FT. - Hope that made sense . I had to much time on my hands, as per usual.

m00nie Posted 12 November 2010 Share Posted 12 November 2010 Personally, i use Photobucket - Click Here. the thing to remember with photobucket is to set the privacy on your album otherwise people could end up seeing pics you dont want them too..

Thats fine, right say if i want this picture of a potato ... 1) find the link, in this case http://www.howbigismypotato.com/potato.jpg 2) There is a little icon in the shape of a picture next to the smiley face icon and underneath the size icon. Either click that and copy the link into it Or copy the link and put [img*] http://www.howbigismypotato.com/potato.jpg [/img*] But without the stars. First option is easier. 3) Hey presto your finished picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
