posting pictures

Hi, I have a few pictures on my hard drive that I'd like to add to some of my posts. Is there any easy way to do it? From searching on this topic, it looks like I'd have to email the picture to you guys first. Any easier way? Thanks!

To post a pic (not just change your avatar which you seem to have mastered) go to www.photobucket.com and get a free account. Upload your pics there, copy the link into your post a viola!!! Or violin, perhaps cello.

Thanks, Odysseus, I appreciate the help. Can't say that I mastered the avatar thing; I had to email the image file to LVA staff and they assigned it.

So, I guess I can't add images directly from my hard drive, eh?

Nope, not directly. You first have to upload your pictures to a website that will host it (I imagine LVA couldn't do that for everyone who would want to upload pictures, or they'd need a second full-time Ody dedicated to that. )

In addition to Photobucket, there are other sites out there that offer free image hosting as well. One that I've found that works really well is TinyPic.com. There is no registration required -- just hop over to that site, identify the picture from your hard drive that you want to upload, and it will bring you right to a page where you can copy the code labeled "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards" and paste it in your LVA postings.

Thanks, Knagl, might try that next time.

You mean like this?



Hey, it worked! Look out now! lol:D

Good work! Now you just need to post a picture of the steak special.

That's exactly why I wanted to do it. Check out the "Golden Steer" thread under Restaurants & Food.
