How to insert pictures in your post.

(1/4) > >>

At the moment SaabTechTalk is still in the development stage.  We do not have room on our server for uploading full size attachments, only small thumbnails. 

To show a full-size picture, you will need to find somewhere on the web to host them.  Sites like photobucket, Saabphotos, Picasa, etc. are places that can do this.


Then you need to find the URL of the picture itself.  This will be a URL that ends in things like .jpg, .png or .tif etc. and will usually be in the address box at the top of the web page.


Copy the URL of the picture.


Go to your post and click at the point you want to put the picture.  The insertion point line will appear there and flash. 


Click on the "Image" button above the reply box.  It's the one on the second row at the left, under the "B".


You should then see this appear [img]|[/img] with the insertion point flashing in the middle.


Paste the URL at that point.  There must be no spaces between the URL and the brackets.


That's it!! :)

Worth adding that Flickr generates the necessary code for you, all you need to do is paste it in.

It's a pretty straightforward process; when I'm back at a proper 'putter I'll upload some screengrabs.

Photobucket does this also.  :)

Norfolk Jim:
tried to upload small picture 125kb into topic and message said to many uploads or words to that effect? Had a lok at my profile to see if anything could be deleted but to no avail?

Any help please as to why a simpe attachement won't work?

Thank you

At the present time STT is being hosted on some complimentary webspace.  The intention was to see if the board was viable before having to commit to hosting costs.

Since launch we are very pleased with the participation on STT and the plan is to migrate the data to our own server.  We expect this to happen this month (Sept 2011).

There will be a short period of downtime when the migration is implemented, but notice will be given prior to the move.

It is recommended, also, that you keep an eye on the STT Twitter Page (no need to be on Twitter yourself, you can still view the page) where status updates will be posted.

Following the migration we will have plenty of space for participants to upload images.
