Hi,

Long time since I have used forums, being a victim of the IPad and Facebook Groups.

Question 1: How do i post up a picture (step by step guide please)

Question 2: How do I add an Avatar to my Profile (step by step guide please)

Thanks in advance

Steve the Potato

Hi Steve,

Let's see...

  • You need to have your picture hosted somewhere.  Do a search on Free image hosting -  Imgur and Flickr are the two that come to mind, but there are others.    Once you have the image uploaded there, copy its link.   Put your post on the forum and when you want to add the image, click on the 'Image' logo on the tool bar immediately above the entry section.   When prompted, copy the link into the field marked 'URL' and your image will appear.   
  • Go to 'My Account'. click on the section on the left where you can upload your avatar image.

Does that help?

 


I have plans.   I am dangerous when I have plans...

Peter is right. But if you use Flicker as me... the URL has to be edited... once copy pasted into Baccus slot you need to delete the end of it until img appears (delete brackets too)... the central part of the URL remains... and then you delete the beginning of it until http is what is left as new beginning.... try it and come back to me if it does not work.
