TCB Forum Help - Insert Images / Pictures

[Shayne]

I have just changed code that allows thumbnails of all picture files.

To link to a picture on the internet, please click on the little mountain picture on top of the message box. To upload a file, click on the paper clip icon and choose the location of your file.

Click reply on any post to see the above options.

(If you do not see any of the options i am talking about, you need to click on UserCP on the top left navbar, click edit options, then scroll down to the bottom and change message editor interface to full WYSIWYG editing.)

If people have a problem that the sizes are too small, please let me know.

I have changed the maximum for all picture files jpg, jpeg and bmp files to 200k.

If this is still too small then please gt back to me.

Hey Shane. cant upload profile picture, right size and all even adjusted editor settings still no luck. Driving me insane! Any other thoughts why?

[Shayne]

Can you give me the error? I can see that you already have a profile picture. Are you trying to replace it?

[Aboriginal]

trying to replace it with photo from library on my PC, says cant upload picture!

[sally]

how do i add a photo fro my pic on my computer, it was easier before to do, now i amconfused cause i dont know my user url thinggy??

[Aboriginal]

Yah I agree the Url thingy has got me pipped too!

[Shayne]

Ok to upload photos.

1- Make sure that this step has been completed - Click UserCP, click edit options, then scroll down to the bottom and change message editor interface to full WYSIWYG editing.
2- Click reply on any post and click the paper clip icon to upload pictures from your computer.
To post a picture from the internet that is already hosted, click the Mountain with sun icon. this will ask you for the URL. On the picture you are wanting to copy, right click on it and click properties. Copy the address URL: and paste it.

Any other questions, give me a shout.

Abbo, can you rename the profile picture you are trying to upload to something like pic.jpg and upload ity again. Let me know if this works.

[sally]

no i am still having problems!! is there another easier way, i cant even copy and past from my file to TCBF threads

I succeeded in posting a picture on one of the threads. Hurrah for you I hear you shout.

However it is somewhat larger than I would have liked or expected. Any top tips with regard to controlling the size of any uploaded pics.

I obviously managed to get the picture smaller in terms of memory taken up, but not size.

Thanks for any advice.

Right click on photo - open with Adobe photoshop - go into images and click image size. Icle box comes up - adjust the cm/inches in boxie and then save as with new title. You can also reduce the pixels in the ickle save as box that will appear automatically when you click save as. It has a slide rule which is easy, just reduce to small.

Thanks for that, will give it a go when the urge takes me.:smiley20:
