How do I show photos in a message

[farmer58za]

Hi guys
Some of the members are able to attach pic's with their posts.
Someone please tell me how to do it?

G'day Farmer58za (Zambia?),

This is a bit tricky as you need to have access to a web server somewhere to upload your picture first.  Usually you will get some web space with your internet dial-up account, but if not there's heaps of photo-sharing servers available now.

Once your photo is on the web, use the Insert Image button on the text input area of your POGGER posting and then copy and paste the http address that points to your photo.

For example, I have a photo on my ISP's web server and the http link is http://members.iinet.net.au/~allantud/pics/Jackpiner1.jpg.  When I pit that link in the Insert Image tags it looks like this:

Hi VMX

za stands for S. Africa (zuid afrika).

Hokay! So I do need to be a IT fundi to post this stuff. I'll follow up on the webspace aspects with my service provider.

Thanks

I found a BEAUTIFUL picture in your folder that I'd like to share with everyone, besides I'd like to test drive the photo upload feature and see if a computer professional can do this too. <grin>

Tell me more about this bike, is this the famous 77 Berkshire 100, of which only 1 is known to exist?

You have to copy and paste the http: link to your picture IN BETWEEN the img       and the     slash img symbols that the insert button adds to the Message body.  Simple actually.  

Thanks for your advice.

the unique 77 berkie 100 you are looking for, has yellow plates and a sachs engine. In adddition it has the enduro kit on it also. I think that is a picture of a 250.

the 100 also has a Penton tank not a KTM tank. Rocket is the expert on it.

Maybe this explanation will help also.  What has been said previously will work but here it is in a nutshell:

There are several ways to post a picture along with your message.


ONE WAY is to send the picture to [email protected] and I'll store it on the server and attach it your message with a hyperlink similar to this:
 
http://www.pentonusa.org/forum_images/misc/xmasbike.jpg
 
ANOTHER WAY is for you to store your picture on another server and in your message you would create a hyperlink to it.
 
http://www.thewheelmen.org/forum_images/santa.jpg

OR you can use some HTML code similiar to this which is in the FAQ's of our message board. This makes it appear automatically without clicking on a hyperlink.  This is probably what you are trying to do.  But you still have to have your picture stored on a server somewhere.



Hope this helps,
Karen
