Can a staffer please help me with this 'cos I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I can't seem to get my pix to appear in forums. I've loaded the pic into my gallery. When posting, I hit the image button, which then gives me this: http://put.url.here/image.file, with [img] at both ends. I go to the pic in my gallery, hit the copy button, come back and paste it in place of put.url.here/image.file. But it doesn't work! All I get are red x's. WHAT AM I NOT DOING???

Hi David,

I fixed your post... actually before I saw this post... but here's what I do...

click the [img] button above... then in the gallery, on the big picture, instead of using the copy to clipboard button, I right-click on the pic and select properties... then copy the full URL of the picture... now paste this full URL into the [ img] ...... [/img ] section...

Hope this helps... and hope it makes sense...

Rudi

Cheers, mate, will give it a go!

Thanks, Rudi. That worked great. One more thing: I notice that some members have a pic of themselves on their profile page. How do I do that?

Glad it worked

ok... firstly... you need to make your picture square...

next...

go to the gallery - make sure you're logged in - and open The Dark Room gallery, and it's subgroup A Photo of YOU... click the Upload Pictures link and then upload as per normal... Put your call sign in the picture name and/or description...

Hope that helps...

Rudi

Hello David!

You can go in the introductions forum and leave a 75 X 75 picture there... the rest will be done by Jim I think!

Bingo, Rudi! Thanks.

pleasure... one more thing... it must be a jpg...
