This is a question that I see a lot on the forum. How do I post pictures, or size pictures properly?
Well that's a great question! It's a lot more fun to post up some pics about something you did than to just write about it. (Didn't happen if there isn't a pic, ya?)
When I came to the forum, I myself struggled at first, it had been years since I worked on threads and posts. Toodeep was gracious enough to jog my memory after my first struggles. (Thanks Toodeep.)
1. Take your photo. Sometimes that's the hardest part.
2. I suggest you edit your photo before upload. Either using the rotate or crop functions of your phone, or photo software.
3. Open a photobucket account. They are free up to 2GB's of photo storage. That's A LOT of photos of you and your pioneer.
4. Use the UPLOAD button in photo bucket to move your photos onto the world wide inter web.
5. Once you have your machine and smiling faces posted into your photo bucket library. You can select a picture by clicking on it. That will bring up a bigger version of it on your screen.
6. You can copy and then paste directly into your thread. I use that method on my desktop or laptop. On my iPad, I will use the bottom URL from the list off to the right of your picture. Copy and paste that.
7. After you have pasted that gem of a photo over to the forum and are finishing up your story or ride report. Use the preview post button. That will show you what your work is going to look like to the rest of us before actually posting. I really like that because I usually have to correct something.
8. Post it. Sit back and enjoy the adulations of the other forum members!
This is just the method I use. If you have something else that works, please post it in this thread as a guide to other members.
