Attachments an idiot's guide.

Postby sleepery jeem on Sun Mar 28, 2010 1:50 am

Jeem here i have been trying to get my head round this whole picture/attachments in my post's thingy, ive noticed that the last post's on the subject in the Q&A where from April 2007,so to put it simply has it gotten any easier to do ?
What im really looking for is an idiot's guide to it all (if im honest im more the imbecile understudy to the idiot),im afraid i have had only 3 months online and the last time using a proper computer was the days of the spectrum 48k,even then it was more about the games.
So any help that can be offered will be gratefully received thank you for your time.

Set up a Photobucket account.
http://www.photobucket.com

Once that's done you can upload photo's from your PC , using the big blue link on the site.
You'll then begin to build a nice collection of pics and under them you'll get three boxes with link options.
Choose IMG Code (click left on you mouse to hi-light and right click 'copy')
You can then use you pics on forums by simply right click and 'paste'.

You can edit you pics on photobucket if they are too big. Go to 'edit' above your image.
Any problems, let us know.

If you go into 'edit'

'Resize'

It'll let you play around with the sizes. But it all depends on the size of the mage in the first place. Just play about with the image you've posted.
The size on here will change depending on what you've done on photobucket.

It reminds me of some cover art from a C64 game.

Juat set up another account under a new email / user name. Although, I've yet to use up any allotted storage space and I've used it for a few years.
