Can someone direct me to the spot were there are directions on how to add photos to posts.

I know (I think) I've done it once or 2x in the past but can't remember how to.

Thank you.

Bruce

Bruce,

1.  Open Photobucket Account (free)
2.  Upload pictures to Photobucket site
3.  When viewing pictures on Photobucket, there is a box on the right side of screen titled "Links to share this photo", click on IMG which    provides URL address of picture
4.  Paste in GCA

While we're at it, does anyone remember how to access personal settings? I want to add a little image below my name when I post but can't even find the screen to add it on.

My biggest gripe about adding pics is that the frame provided is not 16:9 or HD wide dimensions. Instead, I believe it's a 4:3 ratio. Anyway, the result is that the entire pic is not shown. Viewer needs to manually maneuver the scroll bar at the bottom to see in it's entirety, complicated even further if you post multiple pics in a row, then you need to scroll vertically and horizontally simultaneously to see entire pic.

Dunlop, it will show the picture you are hosting in whatever dimensions you use. 

The limit on the width so that no slider bar appears is 800 pixels.  But a solution is to make the pictures 'clickable'.  To see how this is done, click on my post to the Streamsong thread from last year, then hit the quote button to see how it is accomplished using the image codes.

So if we re-size all photos before uploading to a host server in 800 pixels Width (with the constrained proportions box marked), then when we hyperlink the entire pic, it will be viewable without a lateral scroll??  Thanks Joe!

iii - below is an example of 800 width

Almost!  Upload a photo to a host server at a max width you like.  I prefer something like 1400 (in 16x9 HD dimensions).  Then, you use the image tags in the following fashion, but substitute the appropriate bracket character for each parentheses below:

(url=http://xchem.villanova.edu/~bausch/images/SSongRed/1a.jpg)(img width=800)http://xchem.villanova.edu/~bausch/images/SSongRed/1a.jpg(/img)(/url)

Yes, it is a bit more work, but the result is on the thread the picture shows at 800 pixels wide and no slider bar, but if you click on it, it expands to the larger size (the max width you used on the uploaded photo) without a slider bar.

Dunlop - no need to resize your uploads. Just add a "width" adjustment to the beginning of your image link as follows [img width=800] and your photo will be automatically resized when it appears in the thread.

Thanks to all.

BC,

Got it.

Greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Imageshack is now requesting that I update to a paid service....

So... how do you upload a photo to the site from Flickr?

Same as you did with Imageshack.  Just figure out the URL of your photo at Flickr and substitute it into what you used before.

[Bryan Izatt]

Howard,

I don't know Imageshack, but the process for Flickr is a little more tedious than Photobucket.  But then Photobucket (free) has bandwidth limits that you can blow through pretty quickly in a month.

After you have uploaded your picture to Flickr and it is in your Photostream

1.  Click on the picture so it is alone on a black screen

2.  Right click on the picture - you'll get a drop down of "View all sizes"

3.  For GCA I usually click on the "Medium 800" size.

4.  When that version is displayed, right click on it and then click on "copy image location".

5.  Paste that into the [img] tags ion GCA.  It'll display at 800.  And, if you click on it, you'll go through to Flickr and you can see bigger versions if you uploaded a bigger version.

6.  If you want to post another picture you have to go back to the image on the black screen and click the arrows on either side to find it.  Or go back to your Photostream. 


Annoyingly, all your pictures are in one Photosrtream unless you organize them into albums by course.  You can't upload to a specific album.  The albums just point to the pictures in the overall Photostream.  There is only one instance of the picture.

[Howard Riefs]

Joe, Bryan -

Very helpful! Many thanks.
