It is in "Website Discussion" as per your link so that is where people should look.

Pinned anyway.

Nobody who's new to the forum would know how to search or look at stickies.

Why don't we have a new sub-forum on How to post pics.

And it can just have one topic locked in it. On how to post pics.

Maybe a "Welcome to the Forum"
"Please read before posting" topic.
With all the guidelines?
Those that "hover" for a week or 2 before joining might read it?

Like the rules in the Swapmeet section?
The ones most dont read?

In theory it is a good idea Rodomo but it has been proven time and time again that the stickies dont get read until someone points out where they are to people.

No, what I meant was having a section maybe above "General discussion" that introduces the forum and its requirements. Bigger heading than other topics and harder to miss. Current members could reference it too if they forget how to do something. Leave the stickys where they are too. I havent seen something like this (although I haven't looked hard either :fool:

) but nothing "hits me in the eye either, so to speak.
Just a suggestion.

We have a section
Its called
Website discussion
Topics related to our website & forums

We could rename it to
READ THIS BEFORE YOU POST SOMETHING STUPID

Would that help ?

i agree it can be hard to figure out where to post and how, but even if you put a big flashing light over an "L" plate with the words this is how to post topics an pics people will still F it up.

Would definitely help. Could also encourage us to aim higher to put more stupidera things in and give ya's more to complain about !!!!

I think they should be teaching how to post pics in forums in primary skewls anyways ...

Confusious

I reckon the little piccies of the insert "link" and "image" buttons are hard to read/find/decipher, unless its my screen that makes 'em so ?

Ive been stuffing around for ages now trying to upload pics properly.
I got them into photobucket,and organised them there.
Ive used the search option on this site to look for instructions,and have come up with mostly obsolete or confusing information.

Can somebody PLEASE supply me with an idiots guide to posting photos.
Step by step would be perfect.Like the one Datto did,before photobucket apparently changed.
Please avoid Technobabble.
Yes,I know I am older than 30.

Pinning these instructions somewhere easy to find them would also be helpful.

And could mods please delete all the obsolete old threads regarding this subject.

Thanking you in advance,Craig.

Craig,
Once you've got the images into photobucket, put your pointer onto the image. JUST onto the image, dont click on it.
A little box will/should drop down and at the bottom will be a 'IMG' box with a bunch of letter/numbers in it.
Click ONCE in the box next to the 'IMG' and the text will he highlighted.
Right click, then click copy.
Paste the text into a reply.
When someone views the reply normally, the image will/should show up.
Best to put just one 'IMG' code per line of text.

Hope that helps.

Cheers.

Thanks,Mello.
Unfortunately,it doesn't help.
When I move my pointer over the picture,nothing drops down
Above my pics(each individual pic) it reads

click to add title
edit move share delete

pic here

email and IM

Direct link

HTML code

IMG code
Next to each of the 4 headings above contains a box,and none of them open.

Help me please.It must be something real simple that I just dont know about.We had commodore vic20s at school.
