Posting a picture on forums.

libra10

Just wondering whether anyone can help.

My son wants to post a photo on a forum (not this one). He uploaded the photo at Image Shack, and entered the code on the forum. However, the photo which appears is quite small.

Is there any way that he can post an ordinary sized photo on a forum?

Grateful for any help.

Post a larger picture at Image Shack?

Ask the people who run the other forum?

Thanks for your help.

I didn't realise that you could post larger pictures at Image Shack though, will look into it.

he probably copied the link for the thumbnail - he needs to copy the link for the full sized image

Thanks for your response.

At Image Shack you have options -

[URL="javascript:void(0)"]Get code for Forums[/URL]
[URL="javascript:void(0)"]Get code for Websites[/URL]
[URL="javascript:void(0)"]Get code for Email[/URL]

He chose Option 1 (forums), how would he get the code to post a full size image? Would he use the second option?

Really appreciate your help.

Thanks for help.

It's sorted now, he posted the image on Photobucket and that gives a direct link for the image.

I just looked on imageshack and it is showing a direct link for me - can't check more as it wants me to sign up and I don't want to

edit put the direct link in between (url) (/url) tags but use [ and ] instead of ( and )
