How to post photos!

Post by 204Shooter »

The forum software that we are currently using does not support uploading of images. However, you can get photos to appear in your post by "pointing" to photos that already exist on the web. This is a simple, four step process.

Note: Please limit the width of the photo to 600 pixels. This will ensure that the photo fits within the optimized width of the forum. If you do not know how to resize your photos, send them to admin@rugerhunting.com and I will do it for you.

First upload the photo to the web. There are websites that will host your photos for free. A very popular one is http://www.photobucket.com. You need to create an account with photobucket and then they will allow you to upload photos to their servers.

Copy (ctrl-c) the URL to your clipboard. The "Img" field is located beneath the photo in your photobucket gallery as shown here:

To make the image appear in your post, simply place the cursor where you what the photo to appear and paste (ctrl-v) the "Img" field you copied from photobucket.

The final results should look like this:

Submit your post and you are done!

Then type or paste (ctrl-v) the URL of your picture into the form. Close the image tag by once again clicking on the "Img" button.

You can click on the "Preview" button before submitting your post to see if the photo appears correctly.
