Picture uploading assistance

Post by rjp_1986 »

I view this site on my phone. Does anyone know how to put pictures from my phone to this site? Is it even possible?

rjp_1986, I don't know about uploading to the site here, but I just upload to photobucket and link my pics. It seems much easier to me. :)

If you would like to upload actual pictures here, photobucket also has linking codes that make it possible. (make sure to check for the free photobucket as opposed to the pay one) It uploads in 2 sizes, a thumbnail size and a regular size. If one uses/copies the img tag in the little box and paste it here in the forum the actual picture will show. (Can't wait to see pictures, I LOVE pictures!!)

Seems photobucket has changed a bit. If you want the small thumbnail picture, run the mouse (or what is on the phone) over the picture. You will see a drop down menu appear. If you left click the IMG Code, then come here to paste it the picture will appear. With the larger picture the 'menu' is already there for you...like this, and it is the last one... IMG code

So which one of those 4 options you attached would I copy and paste into this text box? I have tried all 4 that you have showed? Maybe CrabbyJo can shed some light because she does it in her journal!

The last one, preferably from the larger picture so it can be viewed. The last one (4th) that starts and ends with the IMG

It could be that you need to resize your pictures on photobucket before the site will let you post them on here. I have to do that with every picture if I want to post it on here... Which is why I always post links! Lol.

The site has a file size limit for posting the actual photos. I can't remember what it is, and am on my iPod so I can't check right now, but I always get an error message whenever I try to post an image link from photobucket.
