How to Post an Photo on BallOfSpray Forum

[Horton]

 I assume this is your photo and you use Picasa or photobucket or something similar. Upload however your software says to.

The next thing you want to do is get the image URL – not the page URL. Below is a snip from my Picasa page.

In Picasa below I strip out links and tables as seen arrow # 1. Select image size arrow #2. copy URL Arrow #3.

There are other ways but if you are reading this I assume you do not want to paste into HTML.

Once you get the URL: paste it into the "Image URL" as seen below.

the only other thing you MUST do is set alignment. I almost always do left.

I am sure I missed a step so feel free to use this thread as a test and let me know what goes wrong.

I forgot to tell u to click the add photo button here in the forum....

[MAD11]

where is that, I'm using the insert image icon

 

[Horton]

Little button at top of edit window.... crap I will photoshop it later. Looks like a picture.

Are you using Internet Explorer?

[MAD11]

Think I got it now. Mozilla was screwing it up. Switched to explorer and works fine

 

[Horton]

Forgot about that.
