Help with posting pics!

[Big Bear]

I just got a digital camera and I want to post some pics. Can any of you good hot-boaters help this way behind the times hot-boater out. I think I remember hearing that you have to download them to the hot-boat galleries first before posting them here. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!:D

Here's a message I've posted in the past on this...
================
First thing is you must have your image hosted somewhere on the internet.. This can be ***boatimage center or elsewhere, doesn't matter. What you can't do is have it on you own computer and have it appear in a thread.
Assuming you done the above...
Bring the image up on screen wherever you have it hosted (we'll assume ***boat image center for now).
Right click on the image
A drop down menu will appear at the bottom will be properties
Click on properties.
A window will popup showing information on the photo.
One of the thing will be the URL address which starts with http....
Highlight the address (starting with the http) with your cursor
Go do edit on your tool bar (edit) and click "copy" (this copys the address you just highlighted to the clipboard on your computer)
Now go to the thread you want to post in (a second window open is handy for this)
When you post you will see a series of buttons at the top of the posting window.
Click on IMG.
A separate window will pop up that will have http.... in it. The http... will be highlighted. Hit delete. Now the box will be blank.
Now go to your tool bar again (edit) and click on "paste".
This pastes the address of the picture (which you copied earlier) into the little window.
Click done or whatever it says to complete. You will now see the image address code appear within your posting window.
Its important you only have one http series within your IMG tags which is the reason we hit delete above. Otherwise you end up with two and it won't work.
When finished your code should look something like this (with no spaces) and substituting [ ] for my ( ).
(IMG]http://yourpictureaddress[/IMG)
You can type message above or below the IMG tags but don't disturb them or anything between them because that is your picture address code.

All of the above...and, don't forget to shrink your pics down before trying to upload them. Use photo editing software, camera options, or Microsoft Photo Editor if you have XP. Try to keep them below 100kb. Mike

And make them jpegs, not bitmaps. bitmap file sizes are huge
