Hey Amy!!!

I started posting my photos from PhotoBucket and it seems to work pretty well!!! It's pretty easy to use!

Just go to PhotoBucket.com and sign up for a free acount . . . then upload your photos (make sure they are shrunk down to a normal size first). Once you get them uploaded, highlight and copy all of the text that is in the box next to where it says IMG (2nd one under the photo) . . .

Then go into your post and paste that text . . . and so on for the rest of the photos! Then you can post it like normal!!!

Hope this helps!

I saw the pictures when you first did them, they were fine. I don't know whay the link stopped working.

What you can do is look at the pics on imagesizer, then save them to your computer (right mouse click and "save image as")

Then upload them to passporter

View the upload/attachment

Copy the address from the address window of your browser

Use that address to add the pictures to your post/signature...

print these instructions out and use them to try to get your photos in your posts

Remember to make your pictures small enough to comply with the board guidelines, 400 x 400 pixels max for uploaded photos and 35k max for pictures size.

If your picture is on a web site somewhere, you must put it on your computer. You do this my viewing the photo using your internet browser, then right mouse clicking on the photo (windows users). A window will pop up with a list of choices, click on the "save image as" option. Another window will pop up wanting to know where you want to save the photo, normally it will be in either "My Documents" or "My Pictures", depending on which version of windows you are using. Click on the "Save" button. Remeber where you saved it, you will need to come here again to upload it to passporter.

Now you must upload it to somewhere other than on your computer. If you'll generate a message in The Driveway: Testing Grounds, titling it "uploading photo", then click on the continue button (making sure the the box for "I want to preview my post and/or attach a photo" is clicked).

Now, at the next screen, just above the continue button, is a box where you can enter the location of the picture on your computer where the photo is located. If you don't remember where it is, or aren't sure of the actual address, click on the browse button and find the file. Once you have the proper info entered in this box, click continue.

The next screen you will come to will show an attachment to the message at the top. Click on the word attachment (which should be underlined) and your picture should open and be seen. In the address bar of internet explorer, highlight and copy the complete address there (either using the right mouse click then copy or using ctrl-c), this is the address you will enter to place the photo, whether in your signature or in the body of the text.

Click on continue again and that message will go to the board.

If this photo is for your signature, click on MY HOME and go into the edit area for your signature. Go to the block and enter [.image], then paste in the code you copied from internet explorer (either using right mouse click then paste or ctrl-v)then enter [./image]. When entering the [.image][./image] do not enter the .

If you're going to enter the photo in the body of the message, use the same procedure above but place the [.image]address[./image] in the spot in your text where you want the photo to be.

What you should have is something like this, without the .'s
[.image]http://lizardcop.com/MexicoGullsm.jpg[./image]which will produce this picture;



That is the link to a picture of mine that I sometimes use in my signature block, but it shows how this works. Enter the rest of your signature, go to the bottom of the page and click on submit.

That should do it. Send a message to this thread titled "checking signature" or "checking photo" and when you send it, go check it and make sure the pic is there.

Let us know how it works, or if you still have problems...
