3.10 How do I post an image that's on my PC?
To post pictures that are on your computer, you first need some webspace to put your pictures on. Fortunately, there are a growing number of sites which will host images for free and allow you to link back to them. Please read the conditions of use pertaining to each site before uploading any images.
1. Image Shack
Click the browse button. Select the image that you want to upload and click the 'Host It' button.
On the page that displays after you have uploaded, click inside the 'Hotlink for forums (1)' box.
With the address highlighted, hold down the Ctrl key (bottom left-hand corner of your keyboard) and type the letter 'C' to copy the address.
To paste the address, click inside your post then hold down the Ctrl key and type the letter 'V'.
Use the 'Preview' button to make sure everything is correct and then post.
If you want to post several full-size images, repeat the above but copy and paste 'Thumbnail for forums (1)'. This will insert a thumbnail image into your post which will bring up the full-size image when clicked on.
2. Image Hosting
Browse to the image you require and upload it.
Click the copy button for 'Post this picture on a forum'.
Click inside your post then hold down the Ctrl key and type the letter 'V'.
Use the 'Preview' button to make sure everything is correct and then post.
If you want to post several full-size images, repeat the above but use 'Thumbnail link'.
These are just two examples of a number of sites offering this service, or something similar (some of which may require registration). Others include: Image Venue, IMGSpot, Image Terminal, Photo Box, File High, Put File, Photo Bucket, xs.to, imgshare.net. A comprehensive directory of free image hosting sites can be found at Free Web Hosting.
