I tried following directions on the above title. It will only take me up to "Upload Now". When I click on Upload now it takes me to a screen that says "Enter Code below to Upload". The problem is that it doesn't give me a code to enter. I get stuck there. Am I doing something wrong?

New Photobucket directions. The change is in how you get to the URLs you need to copy in step 3. These instructions are for Photobucket. If you do not have a Photobucket account, go to the link and sign up for the free one. http://photobucket.com/ 1. You will see a large green button titled “Upload Images and Videos”. Look directly below it and you will see “Tip: Hold down CommandCTRL to select multiple files (more options)”. Click on the “more options” and set the size to “Large (640 X 480). It’s VERY important that you do not go over this size. Click save and it will go back to the Upload screen. 2. Click on the “Upload Images and Videos” button and it should bring up a screen of various locations on your computer. For Microsoft 7, you’ll click on Libraries, Pictures and the folder where you have the pictures. Double click on the picture you wish to upload and it should automatically start to load. Once it’s finished uploading I suggest you at least give each picture a title, it makes it easier to quickly find them later. Once you’ve done that go ahead and click “Save”. Do this for all the pictures you want to post. 3. When the picture is finished uploading put your mouse cursor over the picture, a box will pop up with two URL's, you need the FIRST URL in the---> “HTML for Websites”<---- window. LEFT CLICK in the window showing the URL and a "copied" should pop up. You now have the URL copied to Notepad. 4. Go to the thread that you want to put the pictures in and type in your text. After you have typed your text then space down TWICE and right click. Click on “Paste” and it should paste the code into the thread. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each photo you wish to post, making sure you space down at least TWICE between each picture. You can also type in text between the lines of code if you wish to identify each piece separately.

Here are directions for villagephotos.com.

Go to your account on villagephotos.com

Go to Photos (second tab)

Select your photos and upload.

THIS PART IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!

For each picture you are going to need to RESIZE before pasting on to the thread on whichever board you are on.

I suggest no more than 640 X 480.

Once you have uploaded the pictures, go to the album you have them in.

Under each picture you will see "View and Manage Image", click on this.

You can title your picture here for easy retrieval later.

BEFORE YOU COPY AND PASTE THE URL SCROLL DOWN TO "Resize This Image"

Type in "640" in the first block and "480" in the second block, then hit "GO"

You can then scroll back up to the second line of HTML code titled "Image HTML".

This is the line of code you will need to post the picture into the thread instead of the link.

Left click inside the box with the code and it should turn blue. Right click on the blue line and you
should get a menu popup. Click on "Copy". You now have the code copied to your Notepad.

Go to the thread where you wish to post the photo.

Type in any text you want then hit return TWICE. This gives you a line of space between the text and photo.

At the cursor RIGHT CLICK and click on paste in the menu that pops up. The URL should paste there.

If you want to post more than one picture then just repeat. Make sure you have hit return TWICE between each photo.

You can also type text between each photo, just make sure you have hit return twice between the photo and the text and then
the text and next photo.

After you have all the URL's and text you want copied and typed into the thread, scroll down and hit the "PREVIEW" button.

This will show how your post will look. Make sure everything is how you want it. If you need to change anything, scroll down and hit
"EDIT". Make sure you "PREVIEW" again before posting.

Once everything is how you want it, then hit "Post Message".

I have followed the instructions for posting a picture using tinypic and still can't get my picture to upload. I have gotten to where you type in the code then pasted in the small box below and then upload. It always comes back that it has failed. Any thoughts?

Hi All...
Thought I would try and give easy step-by-step instructions for the free photo service I use - Imagecave. It's fast and easy. To start, your pics should be 640 x 480. I use the free GOOGLE photo editing program Picasa 3 to edit the photos. Cropping them will also allow them to load up faster. The Now having said that--let's begin.

1) Go to Imagecave and set up your account. You will create a user name and a password.

2) Take your photos and put them in a folder on your desktop. Make sure you add a number 1, 2, 3, after the title of each picture, i.e -- Vase1 Vase 2 Vase3 / Will explain why in a minute.

3) Go back to Imagecave and you will see "Member Login" Log in.

4) You will see a bar at the top with different selections. Choose "Upload Images"

5) Next you will see 8 browse buttons. You can upload 8 pics at a time. Press the first browse button. You'll see a blue opening with the words "Pick Your Folder" Pick your picture from your folder and then press the close button. It will you back to the Browse buttons. If you wish to upload a 2nd picture from the same folder---the program automatically goes back to the same folder.

6) When you are ready to upload the pictures click on the "Upload" button.

7) Now your picture(s) is ready for eBay. You will see the bar again. Click on "Photos" When you see the photo---next to it on the right will be the following codes:
Direct URL
HTML
EZCODE
Thumb

Choose HTML and right click and copy.

8) Now simply paste the HTML code into your post. Remember though to put the code for break < br > (no spaces)
after each pic and after your text.

Finally----when dropping in your HTML code for multiple pics (example - Vase1 Vase2 Vase3) just use the code for the first picture and repeat / repeat. (No need to go back to Image cave for each code) Then simply change number in the code - 1 2 3. (Otherwise you'll have three pictures of Vase1) :^O

Hope this helps... Blessings....Steve

This is quite complicated and intimidating. Isn't there an easier way?? Seems like you should be able to just upload from your computer. This is a huge site and can't imagine the only method is this labor intensive??

budge - it seems that way at first

sites that you just upload from your computer have coding that does a lot of work for you automatically. For example any of the pic hosts - and eBay 'Sell Your Item'. Simple. But then to make that picture show up in here, this forum, when it is hosted on another site, takes a few more clicks.

I do not know of a forum yet that has direct pic uploading, cept maybe the avatars.

budge67...build is right. I know no other way to post pics to a forum other than using a photo-hosting site. If it helps, right click the step-by-step instructions for Imagecave, I wrote, and put in a Word document. Print it, and then refer to it. It just looks wordy.

I promise you....It REALLY is easy.

Once you have signed up with a photo hosting site and sign in, the process for posting pictures takes no more than 2-3 minutes.

Good luck! ...Steve
