Pics in Useless Blabber

[Michael Halo]

----Yes, I'm obviously brain dead! I've been trying for freakin' ever to post pics in the Useless Blabber thread. No go! I've tried loading them into MY ALBUMS & MY GALLERY. I cut the URL tag & paste it into the IMG window. Every time it just shows the URL link but no picture. Or I get that lovely red X in a white box. Or if I don't post it in a DDM gallery and just try to cut & paste the URL link directly from the host website through the IMG window, it just shows as a link. No picture! Very frustrating ! Please help before I start destructing.

I would also like to know how to put pictures up........ I have not got quite as far as him.

Hi there,

To post pictures just do this. After having uploaded the picture in the user pics section, go to the photo you uploaded and Right click the image. Then select "Copy shortcut".

For example: One of the images you already uploaded would be:
http://www.dallasdancemusic.com/phot...sunrise_3a.jpg

Then enclose that url in [ img ] tags (without the spaces) like this:

[ img ]http://www.dallasdancemusic.com/photos/data/500/4719sunrise_3a.jpg[ /img ]

Once again, without the spaces after the brackets. I'm only using the spaces so it won't actually include the image in the post so you can see how to do it. If I takes out the spaces you end up with:



There you go

Huh?

here's a practice shot

Shit i give up, i just did that, damnit man!

[fuck logic]

same things happening to me man, even when i quote somebody who has a pic in the post and just replace their url with mine...admin is looking into the problem, the answer will hopefully be in my "posting pics" thread

What you linked to there is not an image. It's a web page. You have to right click on the image and click "Copy shortcut" and then paste that into the img tags.

You'll know you get it right when the URL ends in .jpg or .gif

Does that help?

--Still having problems. OK, when I right-click the image in MY GALLERY & select COPY SHORTCUT, I get this.....

http://www.dallasdancemusic.com/phot...papass=&sort=1

----I'm using the same sunrise image but we're getting completely different tags.

Ok, when you're in my gallery, first click the thumbnail so that you get the big version of the image. THEN right click on the image and select 'copy shortcut'. You'll know you've got it right when the copied shortcut ends in .jpg.

Does that make sense?

[Michael Halo]

----Tried that already. After clicking on the thumbnail, making the image bigger, I then right-click the image. COPY SHORTCUT is faded...not an option, I can only click COPY, which is in boldface. I checked two different terminals and still the same.

[fuck logic]

no no no no no, this is where i had problems too.
you dont click copy shortcut

you DO, however,

go to the image in the DDM photogallery
right click the picture
select PROPERTIES (bottom of the list, ya know)
copy the URL in the properties screen
this will look like
http:\\...................>.JPG
then insert it into the [img]^[/img]
and it will be posted.

like so:

Yes, you're absolutely right Jenny. My bad. I forgot that Internet Explorer doesn't copy the link to the image. I use Mozilla and it does.

Of course I should've double checked this. My apologies.
