How to post a photo

abis21

Can someone please help me how to post photos so they appear in the actual text rather than a link to a photo?


Then I can share all my photos from my lovely wedding day with you all :j:j:j

This is how I do it - and it'll work with any photo anywhere on the internet whether it's on a photo storage site or a shop.

Right click the photo and choose 'open image in new window'
Copy the web address/link from that new window (will usually end in .jpeg)
Then come in here and write [ img ] (without spaces) paste your web address/link and write [ /img ] (without spaces).

For example if I write:
[ img ]http://images2.moneysavingexpert.com/images/masthead2010/MSEtitle.jpg[ /img ]
(without spaces) then the following is embedded into my post:



You can use the little image tag button (the one that looks like mountains on a yellow background with a square sun) but I find the above just as quick and possibly easier.



*edit*
Please note a) the photo you want to embed must be on the internet somewhere already either in a photo storage site such as photobucket/flickr even on facebook. and b) you can't do this for photos on flash sites.

I can't do it yet! All I can get so far is a red cross in a box when I try to preview what I have done. I can manage to get a link to photobucket, but thats about it...

And I always thought I was quite computer savvy

Thanks for your help tho! Think I will wait til my husband (hehe, its not getting tiresome yet!) is here to help!

That usually means the link isn't actually a picture - so if you're linking to a webpage instead of an actual photo file.

I'll see if I can recreate it using the above banner.

if I write:
[ img ]https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3386354[ /img ]
(This is the page that contains the 'photo' I want to be displayed)
without the spaces it looks like:

The symbol you're seeing.

But if I right click the actual picture I want to embed and open image in new window as my instructions above you get:
[ img ]http://images2.moneysavingexpert.com/images/masthead2010/MSEtitle.jpg[ /img ]
and without the spaces:


you have to open the photo so only that photo is in the page - no other stuff - it should have '.jpeg' at the end (or some other photo file extension) so mse knows you're embedded a photo.


**edit** Okay that is just showing up as a blue box with a question mark in it - I don't have time now to carry on playing unfortunately. If noone else can help I will be back tomorrow night.

when your in photobucket just hover over the img code, click that then click it onto the reply post box on here you dont need to write anything then

MrsDrink

The same is true in flickr (which I use)... but I prefer to right click... open image in new window... copy address... type [ img ] etc etc because then noone can view the rest of my photos by clicking on the embedded image in here. :rotfl: you never know what photos I have on my flickr account

i didnt know you could do that, thought it would come up with no permission to view?
test!
