Uploading photo tips .......... from Jim Smith

Photos may be difficult at first - try these guidelines….

Click NEW Forum Topic in a Category or go to your existing post that has been created….



PHOTO BUCKET (Works for latest version of PB – may not work this way on older versions)

In Photo Bucket Library Mouse over the photo you want & you will see a Gear (don’t click – just mouse over)

Slide down & highlight Get Media Links - Left click

Left click on IMG Code (bottom box) then right click - it should highlight – Left click to Copy

or

IF you see a quick yellow & Copied in the box (box goes white) just go right back to the Forum post. (Photo Bucket saved it for you - don't click mouse)

Have your GMMG Forum Board open……

Move the cursor to the location where you want the photo & click Paste

Repeat for all your photos

Tips: Practice this a few times on an open page

Submit your text first (save it) so you don’t loose it then click Edit

Move cursor to the location & paste your photo

Pros: Easy – photos look good Cons: May take a few times – practice



UPLOAD PHOTOS FROM YOUR COMPUTER

New or existing post - Locate Upload Attachment & click it

Open up a link - Filename – Click Browse & select the photo from your computer photo files

When photo link is in the box click Add the file (should go red while loading)

If the photo size is OK you will see a box – File Comment & Place inline

Move cursor back up to the location for the photo & left click

If everything worked you will see text in the box (your photo link)



Tip: You can upload multiple photos & then post them one after the other – saves a little time

Click Submit & see how they look. Many times photos are very large & may not look right.

Pros: Use if needed & it is your only option

Cons: Photos may be too large to upload & sizes could be very large.
