PICTURES in the Forum

[Jmc_uk]

hOW DO YOU PUT A GIF OR JPEG IMAGE INTO THE POSTS?

PLEASE TELL ME!!!!

OH YEAH ILL GET YA THE LINK ABOUT THE 4.3GHZ INTELS

IT IS NOT A JOKE

[CMonster]

Good morning. Post the link and I will tell you how to put the images into the forum.

[RobRich]

First, do you have a web site account? If not, you can get a one from the following places for free:

www.angelfire.com (http://www.angelfire.com)
www.crosswinds.net (http://www.crosswinds.net)
www.geocities.com (http://www.geocities.com)

Then, using their upload interface, just upload the picture to your account. I like Angelfire for pic hosting, since they don't care about just archiving data. If you plan on an actual site later, then definitely try Crosswinds, as they offer much more freedom of use with no space restrictions.

Then using UBB, you can insert the picture into your post. The UBB code table is here:

www.sysopt.com/forum/ubbcode.html (http://www.sysopt.com/forum/ubbcode.html)

Do not use a link to a pic hosted at a site other than yours. This is bandwidth stealing, plus can have certain copyright issues. It usually leads to a site complaining to Sysopt.com, which I'm sure they don't want to deal with. If you want to post a pic, host it yourself, or from a free web site like the ones I listed above.

Here's an example of how to post an image:

http://www.angelfire.com/tn/PlanetMinako/IBMvsApple.gif
(hosted from my Angelfire account)

To see how I did this, just click the little edit button on top of my post. It's the little paper and pencil pic. Then you can examine my use of UBB code.

Good Luck,
Robert Richmond

cheers dude

other thing how do i become a better member?

[CMonster]

Oh! You told him how to do it...I was hoping to get him to "put his URL where his keyboard is".

But the answer has always been right there in front of him at the little UBB Code (http://www.sysopt.com/forum/ubbcode.html) on the bottom of the reply page - just click to see....


and I was going to tell him.... http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

Hi Jmc_uk

How to become a better member? I think you're the first one (I can remember) to ask that question. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Some suggestions:

Don't multiple post the same Topic in more than one forum - it makes troubleshooting any problem impossible, and it's frustrating when for someone trying to help you in one thread to see the same thread in another forum. Very confusing.

If you don't get a timely (timely being after a day or so) reply, do reply to your own thread to bring it to the top of the forum for better visibility, rather than posting a new topic on the same subject.

Choose the most appropriate forum, in your opinion, for your topic.

Don't type in CAPS - it's considered shouting.

Help others! If you have personal experience with someone's problem, help them out with what you know. If you're not sure about any info, state that. If you come across a site that can help them, post the link to it.

No swearing.

Be respectful of others, no flames, no disrespectfulness. Common courtesy goes a long way here.

Don't be afraid to ask questions - even if you think they're *stupid*. That's how we learn!

If you have a problem or question with which you are not comfortable posting in the forums, don't hesitate to email me. My email addy is in my Profile. I'm happy to help.

Give credit where credit is due. Post links to back up your information, if possible.

If your Topic problem has been resolved, please reply to your thread with what worked and how, whether it was another's suggestion or you solved it on your own. It's only right to come back and let us know if things work out and knowing what solution worked for you may help others.

Posting of warez/crack/porn related sites is not allowed.

Don't post Images from other sites - like RobRich said, this is bandwidth stealing. Upload to your site first, or just post the URL to the image.

RobRich - thank you for your informative reply above. I will bookmark this thread to reference your reply to others with the same question - if you don't mind.

MTP, all the angelfire pics are working just fine for me. Your situation sounds weird, as I've been using Angelfire for pic hosting for several months now.
