mustangman Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 What do I have to do to get my pics to show up at a legible size,I'm uploading them from my pooter at reasonable pixels and they attatch as an attatchment and when you click on the attatchment it never enlarges or shows up ??? what am I doing wrong,how do I insert a pic in my post or multiple pics like others here are doing,I just aint pooter literate enough I guess,any help would be greatly appreciated.................
mrmike Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 While I don't use Fotki, I do use Photobucket. I copy the code using [ img] and [ /img] before and after. I paste the code to my reply and the picture appears on the page. Are you using your Fotki account to post pics from or are you trying to post them directly from you PC?

I have been having alot of problems with pics on this board,I have been just taking the pics back off my Fotki rather than trying to find the disc I stored them on and putting them in a folder on my Pooter then uploading them,I never have the thumb enlarge for some reason and even when someone else posts pics that are in a thumbnail format it never opens for me,I also always have this green laoding bar at the top of my screen everytime I log into this forum ???,I am going to try the method u are using and see what happens.I have pics I would like to post and share but get sooo frustrated I just don't bother,sorry for the long read and thank you for your help............

I give up,think Im about to jump ship,seems the only place I can post a pic is the gallery,this really bites..................
Jordan White Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Well try posting one here and we can help you out.
MikeMc Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) I give up,think Im about to jump ship,seems the only place I can post a pic is the gallery,this really bites.................. Pay attention please.... You need a photobucket or fokti account to post here....but not in the gallery. If you upload from the bucket not your computer and use the IMG line it is easy. So stop biting look up Clays post that will tell you the whole shebang!!! I looked at your albums large images...someone who uses fokti will tell you about the IMG line....I use the bucket not fokti!! Edited February 13, 2010 by MikeMc
AzTom Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 I give up,think Im about to jump ship,seems the only place I can post a pic is the gallery,this really bites.................. Okay, In your Fotki album find the photo you want to post. Just under the photo click on "Share Photo" ... then click on "more sharing options". You should now see a list of links. Right click on "code for forums" and copy. Paste that directly into your post. If you need further assistance just ask. AzTom
weasel Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 I give up,think Im about to jump ship,seems the only place I can post a pic is the gallery,this really bites.................. i'm just the opposite!! i can't post pics in the gallery!!! pics in the threads aren't a problem...

Mike I have a Fotki acount,I think what I may have been doing wrong was going to the picture properties and copying that code and trying to insert into my post,what I didn't understand is why when I upload a pic directly from my computer of workable size as a thumbnail and was able to insert it into my post why the thumbnail would never open or enlarge,even when I click on someone else's I get the same results,I haven't been active on any forums for quite some time and now realize alot has changed,my apologies I'm not the most computer literate person in the world as most can tell,I am going to try AzTom's approach,thanks Randy
Foxer Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 I'd suggest making sure your browser is the latest version. There was a lot of problems people were having when the forum software was updates recently. That could explain the problem seeing an attached image. Otherwise, some good advice here. It's usually just some "minor" thing so don't give up.

Foxer Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Woot! Glad you got it and that Mustang in the works photo was worth it!
Gregg Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Way to go Randy! And being the proud parent of a brand new Mustang, I like your choice of subject for test photo sharing!
AzTom Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Good job Randy. If you want to eliminate the "Hosted on Fotki" just delete the last part of the URL, looks like this: [url=http://www.fotki.com]Hosted on Fotki[/url] Nice Mustang. AzTom
