How do i do this? I downloaded some photos from my camera to iPhoto on my mac but i'm clueless from there!

You can first upload the photos to a free hosting service, resizing them if they are too large (try imageshack.us).
Then you can post them writing the image url between img tags, like this:

Thanks! I'll give it a shot.

OK, guys, can you help me? Now that I've figured out how to post, they are little pictures like this when the original is BIG.

once you upload a photo, imageshack gives you different links to it, every link has a brief description on the right. if you want the link to the original size image you have to scroll down the page and copy the last one (Direct link to image).

Hey kelvah, what version of Imageshack are you using? I don't see all those choices at all. In fact, when I uploaded more than two images, it hid them from me, and all I can see is 2. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

maybe you are registered. Me, I'm not. I upload one image at time from the homepage and so I choose the link... :\

Another test

Welcome Dantalian--interesting name! When you go to ImageShack, you can use a drop-down menu and get the bigger size (if that's what you wanted) for message boards, plus you can put a checkmark in "remove size/resolution bar." It takes a little practice, but once you start going, it's hard to stop. And kelvah's right--it's easier if you don't join.

Thanks for the tips.

I hope it was okay to test posting a picture here. I don't do a lot of posting to forums and wanted to make sure I was doing it properly. I hate that once you've submitted something you can't delete it. Isn't thumbnails the best way to go? Doesn't the page load faster and the margins aren't pushed too far apart? I think ImageShack prefers that way as well.

As for Dantalian, I like that he is into the Arts and Sciences as I am, and that he can take on many appearances and can change human thoughts at will, especially to those of evil. Kind of BOB like :{>

Sure, Dantalian, it's okay to test posting pictures like you did. Just let me know if you get it wrong, like the one I deleted (where there was no picture, just the ImageShack words) and I can delete it--so can dugpa, but as moderator, it's my job to keep the place clean.

You don't have to use thumbnails if you don't want to. We've had some really cool collector's items posted in various threads as big as it can get, so you can see details. We don't dictate anything in here, except that everyone be respectful of each other and no copyright infringement.

PS-is your name a combination of Dante and Italian? Ever read the Hannibal books? Yeah, I can see you as kind of Bob like :{>

Yes, I see you did a little "house cleaning" in the INLAND EMPIRE release thread.

Dantalian is a fallen angel that I thought had some interesting powers:

The following instructions are on how to upload a photo and make it your avatar on here. If you're using mac, I apologize but I'm a bit unfamiliar w/ that. Enclosed are Windows instructions for those who would benefit from it. Jer, I'm sure you've got some sort of paintbrush or like-software on your computer. With the image stylings and attributes, I'm sure you can tinker with it to update your avatar, assuming that's what you want to do. If you're trying to use the "Img" w/in the posts, I'm with you on that one... 1st day on here and trying to figure that out. The Double-R wasn't built in a day, though.

With a little messing around with Paintbrush...

(In Windows XP, it's just Paint, or go to run, and type mspaint.exe)
(In Windows Vista, type mspaint.exe in your command bar.)

1.) Open your desired image.

2.) Go to Image, Image Attributes.

3.) ***Do NOT adjust the height and width via pixels!!!***
This will CROP the picture. You don't want that.

4.) Write down the dimensions of your picture. Pixels H, Pixels W.
I shot for 79 pixels on each. (This is easier than it sounds.)

5.) Instead, (this is the toggle... trial & error part!) go to Image,
Stretch & Skew.

6.) Now, play around with DECREASING the percentages. As it stands,
obviously, your image is at 100%. Well, if the pixels (wide) were
100, off the top of my head, I'd suggest decreasing stretching / shrinking it) to 80%. Now, let's look at the height. If you're uploading Venus DeMilo from the hallway in the Black Lodge, that would be approximately 200 pixels long, a tougher pic to upload! I'd consider cropping this one. However, you could take the 200 pixels and roughly estimate you need to half-that amount! I'd adjust it to 80% as well.

7.) Click "APPLY." NOTE:
***You can always go to Edit, Undo as many times as you want to
back up as many times as you want, if you're click-happy like me.

* Don't damage your existing picture! *

8.) Make sure you "Save As" and add "Avatar" to the end of your pic
name, so you don't damage/overwrite your existing image. Senor
Droolcup's milk was getting very, very cold by the time I was
finished, but it worked. Remedial solution, but it gets the job done.

...hopefully this helps, Jerry! Email me or send private messages with questions (anyone). Hopefully the milk's getting warmer now!

Thanks Erik. Since May when i posted that, i have figured it out!

FYI, we don't want people using imageshack anymore. Somewhere on the board there is an explanation to always use attachments. Dugpa said it better. The problem is if imageshack expires or an account gets deleted, the picture will disappear. I've had this happen with photobucket. And then you have a big red X.

So for all pictures, please use attachments. Thanks to all!!!
