How do you get a picture to appear on the page like Shayne and Co. do in eg: count by image thread - rather than this this:

8762

I want the image to appear directly on the page and not as a clickie dingus and so small?

[zimajays]

yeh good question

[boards]

copy, paste

[zimajays]

i tried - it dont work...

[Howard Neill]

Right click the picture - select Properties. Highlight and copy the properties, then post the pic in the normal way, using the Pic icon in the advanced post

http://attachment.php?attachmentid=8764&stc=1&d=1219247954Thanks Howard, I will give that a go and see if I can do it. http://attachment.php?attachmentid=8764&stc=1&d=1219247954

[Chick]

No, that didnt work for me, all I get is this ickle boxie.......http://attachment.php?attachmentid=8764&stc=1&d=1219247954

[Nyala]

Not working for me either.....which is the pic icon?

[Shayne]

Chick, what you are talking about is when you upload pictures and they come out small. In the image count up game, we are linking to internet pictures and hence they come out actual size.

[Chick]

Ahhh thanks Shayne. Do you use the pic icon to link with the internet picture?

[Howard Neill]

Ahhh thanks Shayne. Do you use the pic icon to link with the internet picture?

Howard, now stop showing off - cause I can't get your system to work!!

Maybe another step by absolute step explanation in very simple language would help me.

[Howard Neill]

Click where you want the pic to go - like here

or here http://gvc03c29.virtualclassroom.org/culture/sa_culture/images/xhosa14web.jpg

[Chick]

I've asked you before not to put my family pics up on the forum....

Ummmm, that's not quite step by step enough for me. I am pleased to say Nyala and I just don't get it, so it's not just me.

When I tried it your way, ie: as in first explanation, I just get a boxie with a red cross in it. I have tried that system 3 times and failed.

[zimajays]

Chick chick chicken I will explain it to you...

[Chick]

Chick chick chicken I will explain it to you...

Ok, step by step and very S L O W L E Y

[zimajays]

what you do is find your picture on the internet such as on google images

like here
"http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/54/Day_old_chick_black_background.jpg/800px-Day_old_chick_black_background.jpg"

then click advanced on tcb and click on the little button that looks like mountains

go back to your picture and highlight the http:// bit in the address bar, right click click copy then come back to tcb and paiste the link on the place that says
"please enter the url of your image" - making sure you hightlight the http://

like so

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/54/Day_old_chick_black_background.jpg/800px-Day_old_chick_black_background.jpg

[zimajays]

or if that is complictaed just copy and paste the url here:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/54/Day_old_chick_black_background.jpg/800px-Day_old_chick_black_background.jpg

[zimajays]

yes?

[Chick]

What about images that are in my My documents file :

And where is this blerry advanced button. Cause my mountains button is in my boxie.

And I did this yesterday and it did not work for me. And how do you highlight the url once in the boxie?

yeah, thanks ZJ, I did do it. Finally.

[Chick]

Thanks ZJ and Howard. The problem was I did not delete the hppt/ already placed in the advanced boxie so my url link had two hppt/'s.

[Howard Neill]

The moral to this story is, "Never have two http://'s in the boxie".

.

[Chick]

Yes - that is the moral of this story.

Another is: Chick needs step by step directions in the simple form. letter by letter, move by move, click by click. lol. What can you do?

[zimajays]

nah chick its not that at all - we just need to type slower...

[Nyala]

http://www.oneinchpunch.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/big_butt_chair.jpg

Woohoo, it works.

Does this mean I have to upload my personal pics to photo bucket to upload them here?

[joemac]

No.

You can still add your own pictures. Click on Post reply and then " manage attachments"

[Nyala]

8832

That gives me the normal thumbnail pic - how do I upload it so that it comes out in the actual size?

[joemac]

It shows on the post as a thunbnail, but you click on it to bring it up to size.

[Nyala]

Thanks, Joe. I knew that but wondered if I could upload personal pics in their normal size. :)

[Shayne]

The object of thumbnails is less overhead when loading on client PC's therefore allowing the user to click and view the picture of their choice.

Imagine priya or any other user on a slow connection trying to download 20 massive pics rather than thumbnails?

[Nyala]

Thats fair enough - thanks.
