Hey Lizard Cop - can you answer my question, too! About This Page:

[Stephanie P.]

Hello!

I do not have digital camera or a scanner, but would love to post some pictures from our next Disney trip on here. The place where I get my photos developed gives you the option to have pictures put on a CD. Could I use that CD to post my pictures to the boards? I'm not computer savy if you haven't figured that out by now!!

Thanks!
Stephanie

Computer savy not needed as long as there are geeks like me to help



When you get your CD back, there will be the digital copies of your pictures. These pictures will be a little large for posting on here.



"Normally", the pictures are in one of three formats, .bmp, .jpg, pr .gif. If they are not in this format, let us know and we'll find you a conversion program somewhere.



In those three formats, you can resize the pictures for uploading using th "PAINT" program that comes with windows.



PLEASE SEE NEW POST: New Instructions for Resizing using Mocrosoft PAINT Program



Now, one of the most important parts (especially if someone is resizing pictures stored on their hard drive). Click on FILE and then SAVE AS;











Now, rename your photo (I leave the name the same and just add sm to the end, thus firemanpoohtigger.jpg would become firemanpoohtiggersm.jpg)



Now, you need to upload it somewhere. Dave and Jennifer have allowed us to upload them to their server if you have no where else to upload to. This is the simple part…



Go to The Driveway: Testing Grounds and send a blank message titled uploading photo.



Click on CONTINUE, making sure “I want to preview my post and/or attach a file” is checked.



Scroll down and click on the BROWSE button beside “You may attach a file if you like (no bigger than 100000 bytes please).”



Now you go to the directory on your computer where the picture is and select it. Click continue.



Your message will be sent to the board and it will have an attachment.



Open your message and near the top is <font color="blue">attachment</font>, click on this.



Another window will open with your picture in it. Now you can write down the address in your address bar and that is what you will enter in your message to include the picture.



You can enter the pictures one of two ways. Code it your self or use the board features.



To code it yourself, at the point you want to enter the picture you type [ image]image address[ /image] (without the spaces). So, to put my firemanpoohtigger pic here I would type [ image]http://LizardCop.com/firemanpoohtigger.jpg[ /image] without spaces and it would look like this…







The other method is to use the UBB Code links just under the message box;









Click on IMAGE and you get this window;







Enter the address you wrote down and click OK.



It will place the coding and address in your picture for you.



Hopefully, this all makes sense to you, if not let me know and I’ll try to do better…
