Hi all:
Can anybody run thru for me how to post pictures on this sight? I've got a couple things that would be much more clear if I could include a picture.

One megabyte image file size limit.

In the img src reference when linking an image to a post, limit the image width to 900-1000 pixels wide.

There is a step where you enter the info, press upload, yet the image info fields merely reload. You add your user name and login. You can post anonymously, at least the option to do so displays in the user interface.

Jarrod places a step or two in the user workflow to limit spam.

Maybe I can tackle this for posterity. Yet Jarrod has an experimental interface.

Have you fingered it out PV guy?

Beh.

There are several ways to post images to the Brickboard.

You can upload to BrickPix accessed in the “more” drop down menu at the top of the page. Then add the HTML code to your post to display your photo. Personally I’ve always had trouble displaying images that way.

There used to be a lot more free image servers that would allow you to upload and store your images. Then you simple went to the account you set up and get the code for the image you wanted to display. Many of those started charging for the service. One that doesn’t charge is imgur.com That is the one I use.

Go to imgur.com and set up a free account. You can then upload your images to your gallery. When you want to include an image with a post you click on the thumbnail of that image in your gallery. That will produce a variety of HTML options associated with that image.

Click on the “copy” button below the Direct Link heading. I am working with a PC/Windows so it may be a bit different for other machines.

Many thanks to Art Benstein for this visual explaining the insertion of the image code to include in a post so it displays the image.

Any twenty minute job is just a broken bolt away from a three day ordeal

Pictures are uploaded through the “BrickPix” page on this site, but you will first need to create an account. While you’re at it consider a donation to help keep the Brickboard alive.

Note there is a fairly low file size limit to the picture being uploaded.

Once the image is upload into Brickpix you can copy the image tag that is shown to the right of your image and paste that tag into your problem description.

There may be other/faster ways to do it but the above works for me.
