How to attach a picture on ATVriders.com

[armysig]

I have seen a lot of people that don't know how to post or attach pictures on this forum. Now it's cool if you have someone PM you on how to do it, But I thought it would be cool to post a message for everyone to read. If you still don't understand a step or how to resize your photo I can make a message for those too.


Good luck and have fun exploring this forum and messages in a new way.





How to post a picture on ATVriders.com


1. Subject description: Title of your post itself. Plain simple, we all know how to do this.

2. Type your message. Doesn’t have to be long, but helps if you’re trying to sell something or explain a project or brag about you quad.

3. Let’s post that picture!!!

***Remember to resize that picture. Most photo programs have this feature.

If you do not have an image resize program here is one I suggest

Picture resize program (FREE DOWNLOAD!) I use this one a lot. (http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm) ***

4. Attach your picture to your post: As you can see on the bottom of this picture, you will see attach file.

5. Hit the browse button. This will bring up a box called “Choose file”. This is were some or all of your photos are stored on your computer. Some people have their photos on their desktop in a folder or in “My Documents” under “My pictures”.

http://img326.imageshack.us/img326/4703/howtopostapic2vw4.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

6. Select your picture: Then hit “Open” on the box on the bottom right. The “Choose File” box will disappear and you will be brought back to your message on ATVriders.com.

7. You will see some new text in the Attach file spot. This is fine and normal. This is route that the file will follow to be posted on the website. (I won’t get into that.) Once you see this just hit “Submit Thread” or "Post Preview” (Post preview lets you view your thread before it is saved on ATVriders.com)

8. Congratulations you have just posted a picture!!! This is the basic way of doing it on almost all message boards.

nice write up. this should be a sticky somewhere

just trying it out

[mis13sy]

Hey, I did it!!!!!!!

[Dune Surfer]

What would be nice is if we didn't have to resize the pictures to post them. Some forums resize them for you when you post them. No matter what size file you submit it makes the pic the correct size. I guess I shouldn't complain, I remember when you couldn't post pics at all. Even a time when ex-riders was almost no more.

[Scro]

I would repost this in the "How-to" section. Good idea:macho

[bmxatv]

How do you add a picture to your profile so it shows up under your name when posting?

[mike_repine]

Here's how I did it:

Go to Forums, then go to your Inbox, Select Edit Options, Scroll to the bottom where it says Avatar, click change Avatar, scroll to the bottom where it says "You can upload an avatar from your computer:" click on browse to select a photo from your PC. Note: You will have to resize the photo before it's uploaded, I can't remember what the size is exactly but, I think it's something like 300 x 300. Last thing you do is hit submit modifications tab. Hope that helps.

Ok, first off you'll have to resize the photo before you want to post it on a forum. If your computer does not have a program for this I would suggest finding one on the net for free.

This is a good program for resizing photos. You can do 1 or all photos in your folder. But read the instructions first Or I can even make another HOW TO for resizing using this program.

Picture resize program (FREE DOWNLOAD!) I use this one a lot. (http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm)

Second, once you choose your photo it should end up on the ATTACH file on the bottom near the browes button. (You should see some text in the box, that's the info for you photo) Look close at my picture I have listed. Yours should look something like that. If not let me know in the PMs and I should be able to walk you through it.

you need to shrink the size of the pic. use a photo program to edit th epic. There was a link somewhere on this thread to get a free download of one, it's what I used.

[byrdman37876]

shrunk my photo below 150,000 bytes and still no luck.:confused:

[armysig]

Insted of strinking it down by bytes, try to shrink it to 800 X 600 or close to that measurement. Anything bigger than that will look to big and it might not upload to the page.

no luck here either - trying a 30k picture - should be plenty small

[jonboy]

The best way I found to resize was to open the pic with paint, go to image, stretch/skew, and change it from 100% to 30%. Save the pic. Then when you want to post it you can without problems.
What I would like to know is how to post multiple pics in one post.

The pics need to be hosted on a site like photobucket and linked to your post using the 'img' tag. I belive most if not all image hosting sites provide the link ready to use for posting.

It should have the URL in between this minus the space after the first bracket and before the last bracket:

[ IMG]http:// wherever you pics are except your hard drive [/IMG ]

Just copy and paste each one but I think there is a limit of 10 in one post, not positive on that count though.

If you want to add text before each photo be sure to add an additional blank line between pics for easier reading:)
