Pictures

[Vulcan]

Just a reminder - this new forum gives you the opportunity to upload pictures to use in your posts. "Hotlinking" to a site you do NOT own can be dangerous, as some site owners will instead exchange that really cool pic with something gross and unappetizing.

If you are using a photo-sharing service, like photobucket or flickr, you're going to be okay.

If you have any doubts, then do the following:


Right-click on the picture you want to use.
Save it to a place on your machine where you can find it.
Click on "Manage Attachments"
http://openline.medialine.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=74&stc=1&d=1196811180
Click on "Browse" to find it again.
http://openline.medialine.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=73&stc=1&d=1196811180
Upload it.
http://openline.medialine.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=75&stc=1&d=1196811180
Then, at the bottom of your "Additional Options", you'll see your attachment list. Right click on the file name, and get the URL for the pic you want to insert.
http://openline.medialine.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=76&stc=1&d=1196811447

Click on the little picture icon, and paste in that URL
http://openline.medialine.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=77&stc=1&d=1196811570

Hit ENTER.
Enjoy.If your picture is too big, then resize it before you upload it. You can always make your picture a link back to the original site, and that won't hack off the site owner. Just click on the actual embedded picture in your post, then click on the "link" icon. Then fill in the url of the original picture.

Vulcan has spoken. Happy posting.

This forum allows us to link pictures? Cool!!!

[Sir Dropham Pants]

So you have to save the pic to your computer first?
I tried right clicking to 'properties' like before, then pasting that address into the url line in the 'manage attachments' screen. All I got was 'invalid attachment.'

What if you would actually prefer something gross and unappetizing??

Dyck - you misunderstood. They're not talking about your date for the New Years party. :p Silly monkey.

[Sir Dropham Pants]

So, idiot that I am, I managed to get a few pics uploaded.
I'll wait till the applause dies down.
Now - how do I do it without the "attached thumbnail" box coming up with it? Isn't there a simple way like on the old forum where you just right click the pic to properties, then insert that address into an "image" box?

Hi,

Attaching an image lets you use our server's storage. What you are referring to is possible too, where you have the URL for an image, and you just want to insert it.

1 - make sure you're using the full editor, by going to your control panel / user options at the very bottom. http://openline.medialine.com/profile.php?do=editoptions

2 - When composing a message, click the icon that looks like this to insert an image where the cursor is: http://openline.medialine.com/images/kirsch/editor/insertimage.gif

Hope that helps!

[Sir Dropham Pants]

For what it's worth, I tried that before, and all I got was the address with [img] around it. It worked this time and I feel less like an idiot.

[sportzchick]

Where would I find the "additional attachments"?

[Mighty Dyckerson]

I have an attachment for ya...

After reading the thread title? I thought this would atleast have some pictures in it.

Would you settle for some PicturePages?

[Roy Hobbs]

Okay, so how do you keep from getting stupid thumbnails when you're uploading a picture from your PC? Even when I shrink it I get a thumbnail...

[Sir Dropham Pants]

Bob is here to fight shrinkage.

[Roy Hobbs]

So is Aurelio's Pizza.

[Angel's Hell]

I only get thumbnails. When I save a pic to my machine, one that I've created or uploaded from somewhere else, I don't have a URL to insert! I'm not hotlinking anything, I'm uploading from my computer. Hence, all I get are thumbnails. Pout. How do I change that?

[Roy Hobbs]

I dunno...how do you change the fact that the mods aren't bothering to read this thread and offer suggestions?

Change is good...I recall you said you were leaving MediaLine with a big flourish then kept posting. What's up with that?

[Mighty Dyckerson]

Why don't YOU leave instead? I'm sure no one will mind.

[Roy Hobbs]

Yes, it is hard to compete for popularity with the a-humorous infantile meanderings of a "man" whose calling card is a feces-covered banana, but I'll soldier on.

As opposed to a loser who names himself after an overpaid jock strap filler?

Your facts are as lacking as your subtlety and humor.

You wanna pay me more,
that's up to you.

I don't detect any gratitude
on your part, Mr. Hobbs.

I'm under no legal obligation
to pay you one penny more.

ACK!

OK, someone 'splain this picture thing again. I tried following Vulcans instructions but no matter what I do, I get this. WTF?

[HushHush]

You guys are aware that photobucket is free to use. You can upload your little graphics there .. and then link them here. It's easy ... see ....

Dumbasses. All ya'll.

Hey it's dumbasphalts...that word you said is inappropriate.
Besides I still get the last word.

[east coast producer]

You're not old enough to get the last word.

Yeah, I know you can do that Hush, but the forum software already has this capability built in. It should be fixed so it actually works (unless ECP is right and I'm just a dumbasphalt which is totally possible at this point).

[east coast producer]

Of course I'm write.

If you want to embed the image in your post -- and really, we all wish you would quit posting, but if you must... -- you gotta use the [ img ] function to show an image hosted elsewhere on the web. If you chose to attach an image on your computer, it's gonna show up silly like that and we're all going to laugh at you.

In fact, we're going to laugh at you no matter what.

:hug:

I don't think you know the scope of my oldness to make that decision.

Yeah.

I would have loved to...but Steinbrenner acted like a Steinbrenner.

Now I have no steins. And no C.C. Sad panda am I. :(

[east coast producer]

Thanks for the post.

[Mighty Dyckerson]

True, but we all have a Steinman.

QUESTION - can you go in to your ADMIN panel and activate the IMGWRAP function so that we can get images to wrap beside the text??

I did a quick Google on how to write the BBCode for image wrap - and it seems they all say the admin has to activate the feature - OR - write a few lines of code to allow for image wrap.

Thanks!

[east coast producer]

Let's be glad the porn links are finally gone!

I think the number of images allowed per post should be unlimited. There's a "five" limit but it won't let you post more than four. It would make the next News Is Broken Christmas in March Gift-Giving Spectacular (http://openline.medialine.com/showthread.php?t=30536&highlight=spectacular) that much easier.

[Mighty Dyckerson]

I think the number of images allowed per post should be unlimited.

Yeah, because we really can't get enough pictures of the backs of people's heads.

Way to outsource your "jokes" to Spike. At least we got rid of the kidney thing.

Would the Mods consider allowing images in signature lines please?

[Mighty Dyckerson]

Yes, because Husho's signature isn't long enough already. :eek:

[Kace]

Some are longer than others.

Adding the image would replace my signature content - AND - would take up less space.

[Stormtracker_Tony]

Would the Mods consider allowing images in signature lines please?

Nope, only random quotes and retail advertisements are allowed.


Adding the image would replace my signature content - AND - would take up less space.

but it would use more of the available bandwidth (if medialine were hosting the images)...Why not just put the "signature image" of your choice as your avatar?

[HushHush]

It's actually a cheat to get Twitter posted in my Signature. You can use a generator to convert your Tweets into an image - then you can have the Tweet RSS show up on BBC forums.

Like this one:



But I'd probably go with a better graphic.
