How do I attach images to my post?

Hi

This will be a question that new members will ask themselves.

Well, it is straightforward process and takes just a few minutes to learn.

There are two things to bear in mind;

1) You have to be a registered member to post images, so guests cannot post images.

2) The forum will only accept images up to a certain size (800 x 800).

So, I will assume that you have finished writing the text for your post and wish to attach an image or two to your post.

So, if you scroll down the screen, you will come to 'Additional Options'.

You need to click the button marked 'Manage Attachments'. This is under 'Attach Files' and shows the list of files that are valid formats to upload. So, if you are trying to upload anything other that is on that list, the forum will reject it as an invalid file.

When you click on 'Manage Attachments' then it opens a new window (see attached image).

The next step is to click on 'Browse' and this opens a window which allows you to select the image you want from your computer.

When you have selected that file, click 'Open' and you will see the path to the file appears in the panel next to 'Upload'

Click on 'Upload' and when the upload has been completed, you will see that the file name and size will be displayed under 'Current Attachments'

Note: if you have uploaded the wrong image, then simply click 'remove' and start the process again.

So, you have uploaded the image and it is the right one. Now click on close window at the bottom of the pop up window.

You are almost done now.

You will now see under 'Additional Options' that your file(s) is there and you are ready to post.

Simply click on 'Submit New Thread' or if it is a response to a post 'Submit Reply' and that is it.

USEFUL INFORMATION


The forum will allow up to 6 images to be displayed in one thread and so if you have 6 images of the badge, then you just keep repeating Step 2 and you will see the files being added.

Don't forget the maximum file sizes. If you have difficulty with these, I can recommend the software in the following link for some free image resizing software which makes resizing images very simple:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE POSTING AN IMAGE



Do you have the right to post an image? The forum takes no responsibility for images posted and if an infringement of copyright is reported, the images posted will be automatically removed.

Absolutely no watermarks on the images displaying the name of YOUR commercial website unless you are a sponsor. That is only fair to those who pay to advertise their service and keep the forum running.

You can watermark it with your own name, or something else, but if it is commercial, and it is your site, you will be asked to remove the image, or it will be removed by a moderator.



Happy Posting!
