How can I attach a few pics on my posts? (not just thumb-nails)


Recommended Posts

I'm sure one of you guys can probably help me. I can't seem to locate info on attaching more than one pic onto my posts. Ive been able to attach thumb-nail pics, or else a single pic, but I know that there must be a way....I see lots of posts with multiple pics attached.

Also, what is a "TOPIC TAG"??

Thanks,

Cliff

Most of us use a photo hosting site and link the photos directly from there. I use www.fotki.com You upload your pics to an album you make on that site. Then they provide the code for you to automatically link your photo to whatever forum you choose to post on. Fotki has a free section and a pay section. Start out with the free section first to see if you like it. The pay section is pretty much the same except the storage capacity is unlimited. I use that and it's $30 a year...well worth it IMHO.

Here's an example. If you right click on the photo and click on "Properties", you'll see the code that Fotki provides...

Thanks, Terry. I've tried that method using photobucket and it'll allow me to attach one pic. When I come back from photobucket with a second pic, the topic has disappeared.

I see many topics with quite a few large pics, but I seem to be limited to just two to four thumbnails.

I'm obviously missing the correct technique.

You're not trying to do this using the browser "back and forth" buttons are you? I think that would be a cause for that.

Open a second window up for photobucket and KEEP your comment box open on the forum until your post is completely done.

If you exit the forum page at all, you're gonna lose what you have written so far, AFAIK.

Just a thought...
