Would someone on a Mac correct, confirm, expand on this, please.
This is Koda's original post with pictures and a couple of modifications:
Hi everyone! So, I know that most of you use photobucket or other hosting sites, but did you know that you can resize/host images here, directly through the forum and it's super easy? Here's how to do it:
To upload a picture from your computer:
1. In your post, Click on the button with the picture and the floppy disk.
2. This presents a ServeImage selection/upload window. Click
browse
3. Select the file you want and click open - this step is going to present a different appearance depending on what you're using for a filemanager, I use a different one so rather than confuse the issue, I'll let you use your own.
4. Where it says "Resize the image" select 640 pixel width (that's the proper size for this forum)
I leave it at the default 800 and it appear to be acceptable ... for me.
5. Click "Host It" - that will upload the file and present you with the following ...
I simply click on the middle option, right click and select copy, you may also press control-V or on a Mac
Command V
6. There will be three options that appear once the file is uploaded. Highlight and copy the second option.
7. Paste the entire option into the body of your message.
To paste in right click where you want the image and select Paste, or press Control-C or on a Mac press Command X
This is what the message looks like when the links are in the message, you won't see the images til you save or preview the message.
At this point you should be able to preview (which is the best bet) or Send you message.
You're done!
To resize an image already on photobucket(or another hosting site):
1. In your post, Click on the button with the picture and the floppy disk.
2. Click the button for "url"
3. Paste the Direct Link url into the spot for url
4. Where it says "Resize the image" select 640 pixel width (that's the proper size for this forum)
5. Click "Host It"
6. There will be three options that appear once the file is uploaded. Highlight and copy the second option.
7. Paste the entire option into the body of your message.
You're done!
