*Posting your picture in the forums*

DO NOT POST IMAGES WIDER THAN 800 PIXELS


took me a while to figure out how to post a picture in the forums, so here is for any of you guys (or gals, I use guys as a gender neutral term)having trouble!
hope this helps a bit....

[img] delete this and enter your link here [/img]

step 1: upload the picture you wish to display to the gallery here

For directions on how to set-up a gallery here check out this link! http://www.ball-pythons.net/PNphpBB2...ic-t-2650.html

step 2: visit the gallery as any normal visitor would and view the picture you wish to display.

step3: right click the picture and go to properties

step4: highlight the address (location I believe it is called)

step5: hold ctrl and press the button c this is a short cut that means copy

step 6: go to the forum you wish to post it in and click "post reply" (bottom left corner)

step 7: there are two ways to go from here the easy method is to click "img" at the top of the typing box then hold ctrl and hit the v key (this is a short cut for paste)
you should see this
[img]your pasted http address here

step 8: click "img" once more
you should see this
[img]your pasted address here[/img]

the easiest way to do this is to open the forum in two web browsers that way you can have you gallery in one and the thread you wish to post in in the other and simply highlight the address or location in properties hit ctrl c then go to the other window hit img or type [img] and hit ctrl v to paste then finish it off by hitting img (it will look like img* on the second click) again or typing [/img]
note: remote linking does not work except for sites like www.photobucket.com your best bet is to use the galleries here.
happy picture posting!

AND! when you have a gallery set up you can make an avatar for info on that click this link : http://www.ball-pythons.net/index.ph...&p=26279#26279

Thats what I been trying to figure out at this moment....
Let see if I could do it....

jonah...thank you. when this gets made into a sticky, you will have saved us all years of repeating ourselves. lol. make it a sticky!

Great idea, Jonah!

what a sweet poster Jonah. Simpsons rule.

Thanks everyone! I'm right now in the middle of writing some cool stuff for this forum as well, I'll try to finish it saturday *(EDIT: Sat. was WAY too ambitious, it's gonna be more like a few weeks from now)* - I'm trying to compile a list of all the pythons and all of the boas - then I want to put a rating on each one as to what level of keeper you should be and put basic stats under each one like
max length
original region
easy to find available
are they being CB
Exp. level needed
that sort of thing so that people can look at every different kind of snake and know roughly the specs you know? I figure that'll bring new people here... I'll try to link as many as I can to pictures but that may come later.
yeah will I LOVE the simpsons in fact my sig is from an episode I just saw the other day (duff records episode)
ooh maybe caresheet links as well where applicable.... just need to find a good list of all the species haha.

oh and thank you to mod Will for always being up late with us and making this a sticky :)

lol, yes. i'm happy to do so, until tomorrow morning when i'm standing in front of the grill with 12 burgers cooking, chicken in the pressure cooker to the left of me, fries to the right of me, BBQ sandwiches in the steamer behind me and 30 ticked off customers in front of me bc i'm taking too long. all for the love of the herps, my friend...
btw jonah, awesome ideas you have in that post up there with the lists you're making. that would be a very helpful list to all herpers, newbie or not. i'll be glad to help you find the pics. just split up the list when you get time.

Good job, Jonah! And good ideas to work on, too. Can't wait to see them! If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know!

[Edit: Cute picture, too! :wink: ]

Jonah, just an idea to make it easier: you could put Google search links for "kenyan sand boa caresheet" (for example) and Google image search links too, until/unless you can find a good pic and caresheet that aren't likely to become dead links.

Good thread here :D

and how do you do it on a Mac?..there is no "properties" when you right click the picture.

if you right click there is a choice to "open image in new window". select it and then copy the address that is displayed in that new window and paste it into the text where you want the image to be.

Thanks Everyone!!

When I click on upload pictures I get this message "Sorry there is no album where you are allowed to upload pictures"

Never mind i figured it out

I'm afraid you are going to have to use somekind of an image editing program for that. If you don't have any, try xnview. It's a free tool for resizing images I believe.

Yes!!!

Hi,

If you type "MG]" on the end of the line that will work. :gj:

And you can use the direct link to avoid just posting the thumbnail.

In fact if you take the "_thumb" bit out of the file name it posts the full size.

Hi,

Take the link and post it in the box that pops up when you hit this button https://ball-pythons.net/forums/imag...nsertimage.gif on the write post screen.

Make sure you don't end up with two setts of Http:// by accident.

Hi,

You need to take the spaces out of the image tags so they look like this;

which will give you;
