adding pictures- a simple guide

Hosting a picture on a.n.other site is all very well untill that site closes down for what ever reason.

You can host pictures on here at GC and put them in your posts.
Below is how its done.

Click on User CP


Left hand side will be "your control panel"



Under the title "networking" click on "pictures and albums"

Click "add album" Give your new album a title etc



Follow instructions to upload picture (you "look" at your comuter and select where the picture is and select "upload Picture")

Congratulations you now have a picture in your album. Repeat as required.

How to add an album picture to your post

Look in your album and choose a picture

Click on the picture it will then show the picture url and BB code.

Copy the BB code

Go to your post and paste the BB code your picture will now appear in your post.




Before you click on submit post, the code will look similar to

But to stop you seeing two identical pictures, I changed the brackets above from [ ] to { }

good luck

 

Are there file size limits and such? and also overall storage limits?

 

I think its easier to just attach the picture to the message
