Tutorial: Adding Images

[Tamsin]

Can I add images to my posts?

Yes, images can be shown in your posts. However, there is no facility at present for uploading images directly to this board. Therefore you must link to an image stored on a seperate image host, we recommend http://www.photobucket.com or http://www.muchos.co.uk You cannot link to pictures stored on your own computer.

Uploading your images to an image host

First sign up with either http://www.photobucket.com or http://www.muchos.co.uk you will be asked to provide details such as a username and password. Once you have signed up follow the instructions to upload images from your cmoputer.

Adding an image to a post

To display an image, you must surround the web address pointing to the image with [img] tags. For example:

[img]http://www.photobucket.com/images/myphoto.jpg[/img]

To get the image web address you can copy the code provided by your image host. If you are not using an image host or they do not provide the code you can copy the web address from the address bar of your web browser. To do this first find the image, then right click on it and select ''view image'. Then select the address shown in the address bar at the top of your browser and copy and paste it into your message.

Copy & Paste

To copy and paste the web address first highlight it by holding down the left mouse button and dragging the mouse along the address. You can then copy it by pressing the 'ctrl' and 'c' buttons on your keyboard simultaniously, and paste it into your message by pressing 'ctrl' and 'v'. Alternatively once you have highlighted the address you can select 'copy' from the edit menu on you browser and then paste from the same menu.

Have fun!

I've joined photobucket, But however small I make my photo's when I upload them into my album I'm only getting 1/4 picture :?

[Tamsin]

Photobucket say this:

Q: I only see the top half of my image - the rest is grey
A: You're not allowing your image to finish uploading.

Does it sound like whats happening? If so once you have hit the upload button wait for longer.

:oops: thanks.

Erm.... Tamsin, I am trying to add my signature and am copying and pasting but somehow it won't work, can you help, please? You can see from the duff signature what is there but it isn't working. I must ask Shantel if she will update it anyway as half my bumbles aren't on there!

[Tamsin]

I *think* the problem might be the image format, .bmp isn't a format thats usually used on the web. I've converted it to a different format and emailed it to you, so try that and see if it works. If not more head scratching is needed :)

Hi Tamsin

I first of all congrats on a fab website, i wish i was as clever!

I have an email that has been sent to me with pictures of my rabbits, is there any way i can transfer them to photobucket or directly to my Rabbits united account?

please keep any instructions really simple!

Thanks Keri

[Tamsin]

I'm not sure what a RRH account is but you can follow the instructions above for photobucket. You'll just need to add in the step of saving the images in the email to your computer first. This can usually be done by selecting them (click on the image), right clicking and choosing the 'save image' option.

If you get stuck you can forward the email to me along with your account login details and I'll do it for you :D

Pssst, cheat, tell them you're 16! They won't find out, or if you're not comfortable with that, get another member of your family to register for you. :D

Chris - nope, but if you right click on the red cross, go down to properties and click on that, highlight and copy the url, paste that into the address line, click go, and come back to the page, you'll see a lovely pic of two black and white buns! :D

[Diddeen]

Oh well.. becky.. you need to do as bunnyhugger says.. right click on the picture go to properties and copy the url it says there into the post.. clicking on img button before and after it. Then it should work.

Just spent ages trying to get a picture of Rosie and Jack. I think it is successful. Now I have to work out how to get this picture as my avatar. Is it just me or is it complicated??

[Tamsin]

Nah, just turn around three times, click your heals and say "I wish this photo was my avatar" :D

Tam wroteNah, just turn around three times, click your heals and say "I wish this photo was my avatar"

My goodness...it worked

Now...turn round three times, click my heels and say "I wish all this work was done"

[bunnygran]

Thanks Tamsin - I have only just realised what you meant. I didn't know I had done it already!! :? :)

[Tamsin]

Sorry didn'ty mean to confused you :D I just popped it up for you.

[bunnygran]

Thanks a lot, I am easily confused :? What should I have done to make the picture my avatar, just so I know for when I want to change it.

[Tamsin]

You click on the profile link at the top of the screen: http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/profile.php?mode=editprofile

Near the bottom is the bit for the avatar changes. You can either link to an image on the web or upload you own. The tricky bit is the image needs to be quite small so if you start of witha big picture you need to resize it using something like paint first. Or you can just ask here and someone will help you :)

[BinkyBun]

Hia Tam, Please can you help me? I finally managed to figure out how to get my rabbit pic attached but now it is way toooo big! How do I make it smaller on here? Thanks!! xx

[Tamsin]

There you go :D He's gorgeous!!

[BinkyBun]

Thank you!!!! He is lovely and squidgy! xx

[BinkyBun]

Tam, how do you put a signature on here with pics of bunnies? I love what others have done with theirs. :)

[theprincessofpink]

please help me!!i have just joined photobucket,loaded my pics and then put them in a post as per the instructions above but all thatr's in my post now is the address thingy!!

what do i do??????

[Tamsin]

Your photos need to be in .jpg format to display on the web. So open them up in whichever image program your using (e.g. paint) then go to the file menu and select 'save as' (not save) and near the bottom of the box that pops up it gives you the options for the 'save as type' from that list select jpeg/jpg and then use those files.

Ok you look at the picture you have on Photobucket underneath the picture should be three boxes one with Url, one with Tag and one with Img, if you copy the IMG link and post it in your post it should work. :D
