have you been able to host a picture on imagestack?

 

[dougdeep]

What a pathetic thread.

 

[Northstander]

Ive worked out so far how to download the image to Imageshack from my pc, its from there I need help?

And from my earlier posting, I need to know how to reduce the size?

Go to http://imageshack.us/

Click browse, find the picture from your computer and upload.

This will put the pic on the net, now copy the link and when you post a new message here, paste that link into the image option. (Cannot do this on quick reply)

test

 

[Gazwag]

you need to reduce the size before hosting it

once you have done that click on the hotlinks for forums 1 halfway down the page, right click and copy


Then just paste onto reply (don't use the IMG)

And .............



I always preview reply as well to check it has worked

 

[Northstander]

there are three images though available, I tried copy and pasting! See the spurs picture thread?

 

[Dave In Gloucester]

To get it like the image above, just paste the link thumbnail for foums 1. if people want to see it bigger, they click the pic...

does this help?

Host means?
Paste means?
This is where people who have never used a computer until recently, come unstuck. We don't understand the terminology. All you youngsters learned about them at school, but us dinosaurs never even had calculators.
