Title: Posting Pictures - A simple alternative
Post by: SlowBowinMO on February 06, 2009, 10:58:00 AM
This link is for forum photo postings only and is MUCH simpler than messing with photobucket.

Simply click the link, upload your photo, highlight and copy the entire "forums" address bar and then paste into Trad Gang's "Image" box.

This also allows many users who have photobucket blocked by "Big Brother" at work to see pictures posted here.

Hope this helps, Tim

I'm no computer whiz, which is why I'm so high on this link.  Very user friendly.

I'll try to help although the phrase the "blind leading the blind" comes to mind!   :help:  

JIM (2-Big) to resize your picture, open it on your computer using "Paint" (right click on the picture, then select "Open with" then select Paint) which is a standard program you'll find on any Windows version I know of.  When your picture is open with Paint, select top tool bar "Image" and then "Stretch/Skew" in the tool bar.  A box will open that will let you resize the pic.  Simply insert the percentages you want, instead of 100% put 35% in both boxes for example and your pictures will be much more manageable.  Then save your re-sized pic so you can upload it to the link above for forum use.

kurtbel5, you need to copy the forum link address and then paste it in the box opened on Trad Gang when you click the "Image" box on the fully reply form.  If you copied and pasted it straight onto your post it won't work.  When posting pics I always use the Preview Post box to make sure I got it right.

I'm no techie but I hope this helps.  Tim

The easiest way to post pictures without a doubt!

When I upload mine on the computer I right click on the image, open with "paint", click on the resize image tab, click on the pixels option, and if you do this you can put right in there you want it 640 wide and it does the rest for you.

As opposed to PB you never have to worry about deleting pictures or running out of room.

Love imagelinky! Thanks for sharing this awesome tip.

imagelinky is NOT easier IF you DON'T KNOW HOW TO RESIZE images BEFORE uploading them to imagelinky!

the OLD photobucket (not the NEW photobucket) is THE way to go for automatically resizing images as you upload them to photobucket, and they will instantly be the correct width to post at trad gang.

Just when I figured out how to size them on my own!  LOL.  Thanks Rob!  I had no problems with the old photobucket but I've been pretty much lost with the new.  I've just started working with imagelinky and think I've got it somewhat worked out, except when I upload a new picture the last one I uploaded seems to disappear.  It appears I can only have one picture uploaded and linked at a time.  And if I close imagelinky on my browser is my picture still available?  Thanks for any help!

Well it looks like I've got imgur up and running so I guess I don't need help with imagelinky.  Test pic from imgur below.  Thanks!

OK, now I'm testing imagelinky.  I posted this one in PowWow with photobucket and it kept showing upside down, even though it was right-side-up on photobucket:

the trad gang forum software scales the image down to 640 wide - the length does not matter.  if you click on your image to select "image info" you will see the scaling before and after numbers.  however, the image is still actually full size, and if you click on the image you will see its full, large size.

One more imagelinky test - this one is about 1mB and is way too wide . . .

Exactly as Rob said.

If you right click on the image above and hit "properties", it shows 640 wide.

Then if you click on the image to display it, the "properties" show 1226 wide.  

Then click again to enlarge it to full size, then right click to get "properties", is is 3123 wide!

Very, very, nice for dummies like me - Thank you for the improvements, Rob!!!!

ron, you'll hafta look at your settings with whatever image archive service yer using.  i dunno much about imagelinky, sorry.  

i use either  www.photobucket.com (http://www.photobucket.com)  or  www.imgur.com (http://www.imgur.com)  and both of these default any image uploads as "public", not "private".  you might wanna give one of those a try - imgur is the easiest of the two, if that'll help.

url address with the "https" prefix are protected addresses and will not work with our internal trad gang image processor.  changing it to "http" works perfectly.  the other thing was that the original address you copied in was an album address that was missing the "i.", which makes it a direct address to the image gallery.  mobile devices like ipads use totally different browsers than "real computers", and pretty much anything goes with those things!  but no matter what, rewriting the address to this format will definitely work ...

Code: [Select]

Code: [Select]
FPse5bu.jpg... is the actual image file, and  ...

Code: [Select]
