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. ***

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”.



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.

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

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.

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

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

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.
