Title: How to Add Picture/Links Post by Susan on 10/01/04 at 07:35:23 This has come up in several threads recently so I wanted to create a topic to address the question. It is quite easy to add pictures and links to posts. This thread will cover:
Here's how to get your pics online at bike pics:

Title: Re: How to Add Picture/Links to Posts Post by Susan on 10/01/04 at 07:35:46 Adding a Link to a Post Here/Naming that Link: After you have uploaded your pictures to a website such as bikepics (see previous post), you can include it in a post as either a link or an image. To insert a link in a post you need the address of the page that the picture is on.
Naming the link is easy, it just requires editing the code a little. The best way to understand how to do this is to click on "quote" on this message. You will then be able to see the code in the message. By looking at the code for this link vs. the one above, you will see how to name a link: Purple Savage (http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/220498) |
Title: Re: How to Add Picture/Links to Posts Post by Susan on 10/01/04 at 07:35:55 To add a pic directly into a post, you need the address of the actual picture (not just the page the picture is on).
http://www.bikepics.com/pics/pics/suzuki-savage-04-bikepics-220498.jpg If you are struggling with any of this, the best way to understand what is going on, is to click "quote" on one of these posts and you will see the actual code. If it still doesn't make sense, ask questions. Happy posting. |
Title: Re: How to Add Picture/Links to Posts Post by klx650sm2002 on 10/01/04 at 10:56:43 Thanks Susan, I'm really crap at this sort of thing but I've copied this and will try to understand it later thanks again again. Clive W :D |
Title: Re: How to Add Picture/Links to Posts Post by Susan on 10/01/04 at 15:53:49 Glad I was able to help! Here's another tip: if you want to edit a previous post, you can go to that post and click "modify". This will allow you to change a previous post (you can only modify your own posts, of course). |
Title: Re: How to Add Picture/Links to Posts Post by Greg_650 on 10/02/04 at 03:13:58 As well, most ISPs offer subscribers a fee "home page". If you create a home page, you can also do as I have....create your own photo albums and post your pictures on your own site and then insert the url using "copy image location" within a posted message on this site. |

And who's post did you try to modify to learn that? I'll never tell :P |

Title: Re: How to Add Picture/Links to Posts Post by Greg_650 on 10/03/04 at 04:01:37 I know. The message says... "You are not allowed to change this message" |
Title: Re: How to Add Picture/Links Post by Diane on 11/02/04 at 20:18:35 Ok I'm gonna see if I can put a pic in here....... http://hometown.aol.com/bikernanatx/images/motorcycles1.jpg [flash=200,200] With that mastered........... how do you get your own picture or symbol in your profile? I tried everything I could think of. ??? ??? ??? |
Title: Re: How to Add Picture/Links Post by Susan on 11/02/04 at 21:05:55 Diane wrote:
Same sort of approach. If you want to use a pic of your own it needs to be posted somewhere on the web. Then go to "Profile", check the box that says "I have my own pic" (toward the bottom of the profile page) and then add in the url (web address) of the pic. The pic must be a gif or a jpg. You can also use one of the standard forum pics (choose one from the personalized picture list). |
Title: Re: How to Add Picture/Links Post by Diane on 11/03/04 at 05:31:03 Yeah thats what I was doing. Tried 2 different pictures and nothing came up. So I tried putting the pic directly into the post..... no problem. The picture above and another on the same site just will not go into my profile for some reason. I tried a 3rd one today from a different site and it popped right up. |

Perhaps they are too big? The typical avatar pic is 100 x 100 pixels and depending on the site 29K or less. |
Title: Re: How to Add Picture/Links Post by Greg_650 on 11/03/04 at 06:54:59 Susan wrote:
You can also get a free software package called "Easy Thumbnails". Go here.... Easy Thumbnails (http://www.fookes.com/ezthumbs/?Easy%20Thumbnails=2800) This software will automatically reduce your photos or graphics to a thumbnail size....but the picture needs to already have a 1 to 1 aspect ratio. A typical 480 x 640 resolution is a 3 x 4 ratio. So you should crop it first to a 480 x 480 (1 to 1) which prevents distortion. The software will then reduce it to a 100 x 100 pixels. That is how I created mine. |
Title: Re: How to Add Picture/Links Post by gitarzan on 11/11/04 at 08:23:24 Check out IRFANVIEW and PhotoFiltre. Both are free :), Free :D, FREE ;D! www.irfanview.com www.photofiltre.com I've just started messing with photofiltre, and it looks promising. I've been using IRFANVIEW for almost a decade. Every image I have posted here has been massaged with IRFANVIEW. It's a viewer, but can also resize, crop, adjust color, create slide show executables, and about a thousand other things. I can't speak highly enough of IRFANVIEW. I use it at home and use it at work. |

Use this code to post in your tagline: [*img]http://telin.ugent.be/~gs/peeguy.gif[/img] Just remove the asterisks to do so. I added them so it would not show the images instead. Edit in your own pix of course, unless you want it to be a little man peeing. ::) |
Title: Re: How to Add Picture/Links Post by Paladin on 02/01/05 at 18:14:09 For purpose of demonstration I'll type the lines twice, once with curly brackets and once with square brackets: To link to a web page you can place the address within the URL code: {url}http://savage.andruschak.net/posters.html{/url} http://savage.andruschak.net/posters.html Or just ignore the url code and simply type in the address: http://savage.andruschak.net/posters.html For long addresses you can place the address inside the first set of brackets with a description between the two sets: {url=http://savage.andruschak.net/posters.html}posters{/url} posters (http://savage.andruschak.net/posters.html) For displaying pictures you use the IMG tags: {img}http://savage.andruschak.net/gargoyle1.jpg{/img} http://savage.andruschak.net/gargoyle1.jpg {img}http://savage.andruschak.net/gargoyle1_.jpg{/img} http://savage.andruschak.net/gargoyle1_.jpg (YaBB resizes to 450 width.) To avoid the resizing of small pictures, specify the picture size: {img width=180 height=135}http://savage.andruschak.net/gargoyle1_.jpg{/img} http://savage.andruschak.net/gargoyle1_.jpg Finally you can combine the URL and IMG tags to make a clickable image: {url=http://savage.andruschak.net/gargoyle1.jpg}{img width=180 height=135}http://savage.andruschak.net/gargoyle1_.jpg{/img}{/url} http://savage.andruschak.net/gargoyle1_.jpg (http://savage.andruschak.net/gargoyle1.jpg) |
Title: Re: How to Add Picture/Links Post by Paladin on 02/03/05 at 17:50:56 http://savage.andruschak.net/posters.html Need a picture of the rider.... |

Title: Re: How to Add Picture/Links Post by Paladin on 02/03/05 at 20:23:06 I do it to relax. Also cleaned up your avatar: http://savage.andruschak.net/avatarupgrade001.jpg http://savage.andruschak.net/bobo383_AV.gif |

Title: Re: How to Add Picture/Links Post by SavageRider on 02/15/05 at 12:31:39 Worth a try. Here goes nothing. http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/292394/ SavageRider Okay, so the picture link is there or was there, is this just a one time thing that needs to be repeated each time you want to display the picture? |
Title: Re: How to Add Picture/Links Post by SavageRider on 02/15/05 at 12:53:59 http://predator.bikepics.com/icon/suzuki-savage-01-bikepics-292402.jpg Can't figure out why the image is so poor. On the bikepics site, it looks just fine. |
Title: Re: How to Add Picture/Links Post by Paladin on 02/15/05 at 14:06:38 Your picture: http://predator.bikepics.com/icon/suzuki-savage-01-bikepics-292402.jpg is 113 by 85 pixels. The YaBB resizes it to 450x338 causing ugly distortion. Tell YaBB the size the picture is supposed to be with a width= and height= inside the bracket with the img tag. Which picture can then be cropped to 65x65, brightened, contrastiered, sharpened and saved as a .gif for use as an avatar: http://savage.andruschak.net/savagerider_AV.gif |

it appears you linked to the thumbnail. open the photo at bic pics right click click on properties. copy address from that photo. paste into the[img][/img] icon and it will be correct. i had the same problem a few moments ago. as with all things computer, there are several different ways to accomplish what you want. just do what is easy for you. |

Title: Re: How to Add Picture/Links Post by Mr 650 on 02/16/05 at 13:34:24 Hey now I see it, (sorta like when I put on my glasses) Why it's got normal bars and the sissy bar is chopped! Hey, Wow, that's a beautiful color too ;) |
Title: Re: How to Add Picture/Links Post by SavageRider on 02/22/05 at 07:35:44 Thanks for the info on adding pics. Also, for fixing and posting a clear photo of it. I too liked the motorcycles color, I've not seen motorcyles with this color but have seen automobiles. As for the sissy bar, it was missing when I bought the bike. I'm planning to have a small chrome hand hold fabricated and added. I want it to have a radius that is just lower than the rear seats height. Happy Riding All 8) |

Title: Re: How to Add Picture/Links Post by Savage_Rob on 07/29/05 at 11:13:59 I like the way your two-tone bags match your bike. Very nice. |
Title: Re: How to Add Picture/Links Post by Spartan71 on 07/29/05 at 11:24:12 Thanks! I just fell in love with the bike. I'm looking for a tank bag to match, too. I drive her back and forth to work and need the room. I've seen some nice magnetic bags with handles and map pockets that would work, but they are all black. :-/ |

(It told me to add a quote.) :-/ Upload a photo, add a hyperlink, create a quote. Download the photo. Highlight the hyperlink. Start a message and include the photo hyperlink....Sheesh trying to add a picture to this site is above and beyond rocket science. (And I know quite a bit about rocket science.) Okay, it seems that about 40% of the pictures on this site automaticly appear on my screen....the rest (including the jpeg I just uploaded or downloaded) from bikepics.com are blank with a red X in the upper left hand corner. If you right click on the X "show picture" appears in the info. box. But clicking on that still does not open the picture! Most of you can apparently view these pictures because You comment on them.... ??? What the heck am I doing wrong? And how do I correct this? :-/ Thank you in advance for any information / fixes provided. *Starlifter. |

Title: Re: How to Add Picture/Links Post by luken on 08/10/06 at 08:10:31 I have noticed alot of images not showing up. If any of you want to you can use my webserver to upload your pics. I created a login for you, its suzukisavage and password is Ride1now You can upload your pics there and use the path bethandre.com/bikepics/yourpic.jpg if you want. Might be easier to organize if you created a folder first with your name or something. If you are not sure how to ftp check out this link http://www.ftpplanet.com/ftpresources/basics.htm Its there to use if you want. If not keep using bikepics or whatever. |

You need to copy and paste the URL text into your post or type it in and then highlight it there. Then click on the Insert Hyperlink button which will surround the hightlighted text in your message with the tags. Works for me: http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m10/Redfire05GT/S40/S40Heel-toeshiferandfloorboards006M.jpg You can also just copy and paste or type the http:// url text into your message and not worry about the [url][/url] tags...the link will generally work the same.
