Posting pics in a thread

[Tryptophan69]

I've noticed some people posting pictures not as attachments but actually in their thread replies. How do they do this? Second, how do you add an avatar? I go to "edit avatar" under user CP and it won't let me add. Thanks . . .

Use that button to post a pic quickly.

ALWAYS read the stickies. This has been covered numerous times.

You need 100 or more posts before you can have an avatar. It takes a short time there after before your "promotion" takes effect.

When I do that, this pops up:

SweetErika posted this on the FAQ thread. Hope it helps.

If you want an image to appear in a message, sig line, or PM without attaching it, the image must be hosted online somewhere (i.e. NOT just in your computer).

To insert an image that's hosted online directly into your post:
1) Right click on the image in your browser
2) In Firefox, select "Copy Image Location" (Firefox)
In IE, select "Properties" and copy the URL/Address from the box that appears.
3) In your post/sig line/PM, either:
a) Click on the yellow and gray 'Insert Image' icon and paste the url into the dialog box that appears and hit OK.
OR
b) Type: Paste/type the URL of the image here
***If that doesn't work/the image appears as a link, the site may not allow hotlinking. You can check whether or not a site allows hotlinking by going here here. If not, you'll either have to find or put it on another site (there are tons of sites that will host your images for free and allow hotlinking), or attach it.

To attach images to posts:
1) At the bottom of the post, click on "Manage Attachments"
2) A new window will pop up
3) Click "Browse" and find the image on your computer
4) Click "Upload"
***A window will tell you if the dimensions or file size of the attachment(s) exceed the limit.

Can you use the same attachment more than once? NO.
However, you can (a)rename and resave the file, or (b)post a link to the attachment.
To post the link to the attachment:
1) Go to the original post (the one that contains the attachment you want)
2) Click on the attachment
3) When it opens, copy the URL from the address bar
4) Now go to your second post (the one you want the attachment copied to)
5) Press the little globe/chain icon at the top of the text box
6) Write in the text you want, and press OK
7) Insert/Paste the URL you just copied, and click OK again.

Your code should look like (without the asterisks):
[*URL=http*://www.literotica.com:81/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=539251]Here's Your Attachment from Your Other Post[/URL*]

The result: Here's Your Attachment from Your Other Post


To add an image to your profile
1) Click on User CP
2) Under the Control Panel menu, click the "Edit Profile Picture" link
3) If the image is hosted online, insert the URL of the image. Again, the site must allow hotlinking for this to work. If the site doesn't, try uploading it to an image hosting site.
OR
1) If the image is on your computer instead of a website, click Browse, and upload it as an attachment.

Isn't that an old Partridge family song?

I don't know, Scaly. I was born in '80, so...

OK, now I feel old again.

Nah... just aged like a fine wine. Not that it makes a difference considering your happy marriage and all, but a lot of us younguns have a thing for older men.
