Easy tutorial posted as a sticky in the classifieds.

I am tired of wasting time clicking open an ad and seeing no pics. I don't want to have to spend the time asking for pics and doing the email thing. I am getting older and time is precious, so I just move on.
Besides, I just wanted to look. :p
Killdeer~ ran out of rack space long ago
easy way to solve that ADD PIC'S to your post.
I gotta agree with the "just add pix to your threads" folks....a lot easier than having to send pix to everyone that asks. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I've sold two bows on Trad Gang during the 4 years I've been a member on here. In both instances, I included at least 4 photos of each bow in each ad. Both bows had a serious buyer in three days time. In fact, I just sold the second bow last week and it arrived with it's new owner yesterday. Like they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words".
I figured out how to join photobucket,download pics,RESIZE PICS,and post pics all by myself. And as the saying also goes...if I can do it, ANYBODY can! I know, I know :notworthy:
Some folks know how to e-mail a picture but not how to post them.
It took me a while to figure it out but then again I ain't the sharpest stick in the pile, but maybe if I can learn, they can also?
It certainly would be nice but I'd rather have them post without them than not have them post at all.
MHO, that and a couple of bucks will get you a decent cup of coffee somewhere...lol
Your Humble Servant
God bless,Mudd
I hear ya Folks, my time is valuable also, can't sit around sending Pics to a bunch of folks who aren't going to buy em anyway .... But you're correct, gotta educate myself more on this"puter", Oops, there goes more time ...
In my classified adds I always have one to six photos, and before you click on you know I have photos because I say "w/photos" in the header. The browser does not have to wonder what that part of the bow or equipment looks like. Ken
I've tried 3 or 4 times to join Photobucket and can't figure it out. Some people have a hard time with this stuff. So all I can say is "Put up with it". Sorry Hap
Hap,
You're making uploading photos from Photobucket and then displaying them in the TG messages more difficult than it is.
If you still have your Photobucket account, upload a photo from your computer that is no bigger than 600 pixels to your Photobucket album. When the photo shows up in your Photobucket album, hover your cursor over the photo. A little box pops up under the photo and it will list four codes under the photo. Just copy the "img" code. You do this my holding down the Ctrl key on your keyboard and then pressing the "C" key. That copies the code. You then type a message on TG and then to show the photo in the message, hold the Ctrl key down again and then press the "V" key. The code shows in the message. Hit the Preview button and the message shows up and it will also display the photo in the message. If you see the photo in the preview message, then hit the Add button and then your message with photo is on here for us to read and see. Of course, I'm assmuming you're running a Windows computer and not an Apple computer. Thing will be different on an Apple computer.
I say add photos! Easy for me to say, I've been trying to add a profile pic, and can't get it. lol. I'll keep trying.
Just tried again, I guess I need daughter help!

If you're running a Windows computer, just follow the directions I've posted earlier in this thread for your profile picture. I think it's a different code, but it's one of the four codes listed under the photo in your Photobucket album....if you have a Photobucket account. Left click on my user name above my avatar and you'll see my profile picture.

If these guys figured it out you can too! :thumbsup:
It dont take much effort or time to learn and post pics in your add. 'Less your 'puters a dog like mine.
You want someone to send ya $500 bucks for a bow, I wanna see it first!
Eric
I love window shopping. If these bows were not works of art, you would have less people looking. I always however tell the person I have no intention to buy just wanna see pics. If they send em great if not I usually forgot about it already.
Sometimes people will post them for you but you cannot complain about people who want to see them and not post pics. If you dont want to waste time sending pics just say your camera is broken.
anyone plase feel free to email me your pic's and i will add them to your post, no problem.
adkmountainken....nice of you to offer, thanks....may take you up on it next time I post in the classifieds.
Dang Bjorn! Thats a fine looking bunch a folks, are ther friends of yers?
Maybe a way to fix the problem for thos who are tired of sending pics, but don't know how to add, is to aske those you send to if they could add them for you?
I often ask for pics when I see a bow I might be interested in, and sometimes ask if they would want me to post for them as well. I very seldom give response if I get the pics, and the bow shows not to be to my taste..
I would however post, if asked, regardless of my thoughts on the bow ;)
'Dang Bjorn! Thats a fine looking bunch a folks, are ther friends of yers?'
My ex wife's relatives actually--thanks for asking.
How about $350.00 Shipped ...............
The photobucket thing can be a hassle. It seems it's different everytime I have to use it. But it's still easier than sending multiple e-mails with multiple attachments...
I have pics of all my bows preloaded on Photobucket. Should I ever want to sell or just post pics (someone just had a post asking to see pics of Blacktails-no problem) I just open up another tab on the browser and bop back and forth with the cut and paste of the IMG code. Pretty simple really. Someone who can navigate around this web site, start new threads, reply to threads, quote others..etc should not have a problem with Photobucket. I think some make too big a deal out of it. I always wondered why more folks don't post the pics right up front, rather than getting all kinds of individual requests. The idea is to sell the bow right?
Ok....my wife and I both are fairly intelligent people, but we can not get the Photobucket account set up correctly for some reason. We have tried for years to post pics here, but can't even get the pics loaded on to Photobucket, much less get them from there to TG.
Yeah....I fully understand that folks want to see what you're selling, but if you're unable to do it, that's just how it is. Sorry to inconvenience everyone not liking to have to ask for pics to be emailed.
I agree that it would be easier on everyone if we could all post pictures on our ads. I'm thinking I need to cancel my Photobucket account and start over from scratch, because I think in my case, the problem is with Photobucket

5.Repeat this process for every image you want to upload. Click on the "add more" link if you have more than three images to upload.

:banghead:
trying to load a link but it keeps screwing up on me
Well, I guess I'm one of the worst ones about not posting pics??? But the only access I have to the internet is at work. And the computer won't let me see pics or post pics from photo bucket or any other site??? I can take pics from my phone and email them but that's about it??? SORRRRY?
Night Wing-I can't figure out how to even register on Photo bucket. I have a hard time senting photos in e-mails but can usually figure that out. Hap
Try tinypic.com it is quick and very easy.

I am not interested in using photobucket. Too much work to post a pic:)
Classifieds without pics piss me off!
what he said /\\
I will not buy from a classified ad for a bow with no pics, sorry. I feel the seller is hiding something so his exposure is less by not posting pics and just sending to those who request.
Dude, totally.
If you want to sell the bow, why not go to the minimal trouble to post pics????
Fellas, we got off track here I believe, what I meant was, when ya send Pic's to all these "Wonderful" Candidates ... They usually don't buy, or ya never here from them again ... But that's OK, I understand, they just want to "see" them, so Pic's I have now on Classifieds ... Let the Calls & Emails Begin ..... {Maybe} .... ????
As others have said, I have tried several times to post pics with no luck.
