Photos

Hi can any one tell me how to put up photos on the site :blink1:

 

EDIT: More detailed info from the VWClub:

First of all you'll need a photobucket account
This is an online digital photo album , so you can save all your fav car pictures without using up space on your p.c.

www.photobucket.com and register.

Once logged on you can transfer pictures from your desktop to create your album .
To do this select the browse button on the right of the page , select your picture and open in the pop up window , then on photobucket select "up load it" button again on the right , this will take a few seconds .
note : bigger pics take awhile so be patiant
And your picture should then appear in the album .
Underneath your picture there should be a few options "url" "tag" img" ...
Click the "img" option and it should highlight in blue left click and select copy .

Type your post as per usual and when you ready and have the spot where you want to upload your pics, right click and paste (you already copied the option earlier.)

Finish your post as normal , check on the preview option to make sure its worked ....

 

You don't need to have a photobucket account - another option is to upload the photos directly from your pc....

How do I attach a file to a post?
To attach a file to your post, you need to be using the main 'New Post' or 'New Thread' page and not 'Quick Reply'. To use the main 'New Post' page, click the 'Post Reply' button in the relevant thread.
On this page, below the message box, you will find a button labelled 'Manage Attachments'. Clicking this button will open a new window for uploading attachments. You can upload an attachment either from your computer or from another URL by using the appropriate box on this page. Alternatively you can click the Attachment Icon to open this page.
To upload a file from your computer, click the 'Browse' button and locate the file. To upload a file from another URL, enter the full URL for the file in the second box on this page. Once you have completed one of the boxes, click 'Upload'.
Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window. You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
What files types can I use? How large can attachments be?
In the attachment window you will find a list of the allowed file types and their maximum sizes. Files that are larger than these sizes will be rejected. There may also be an overall quota limit to the number of attachments you can post to the board.
How do I add an image to a post?
If you have uploaded an image as an attachment, you can click the arrow next to the 'Attachment Icon' and select it from the list. This will be inserted into your post and can be located where you want it displayed.

 

Very handy info!

 

Yip - I find uploading from my PC is so much easier than putting it on photobucket first.

 

Thanx Veegal

I appreciate all your help

 

Only my pleasure Johan

 

Yip both methods work...

Advantage of attaching it to your post is that it never disappears as photobucket type pics tend to do after some time (account expires, delete it from your account to make space, etc).

I think there's a hack somewhere that will add the attachement button to the quick reply box, will take a look.

 

That would be cool if possible Rory - I always use the quick reply and then have to copy and paste and do it the long way if I want to add an image.

 

Copy and paste? Just use the "Go Advanced" button... ??

 

Seriously??? :embarrest: I never even noticed that button really - LoL

PS: The lights are off here and the room is still glowing (think it may be my face) hehehehe
