Left my Idiots Guide in Oz (along with my ex, thought she needed it more than me ). I run XP . <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm fairly useless at these things but I just right click the image, save it to desktop, then upload it to any free photo host. Then, cut n paste the url provided or click on 'img' at the top here and add the url. Clear as mud probably and there's likely an easier way... Here's one free photo server- just click on your avatar below: Not sure if George minds having the linkthru tho??? But there's loads of free photo servers, just google n good luck Edited May 3, 2005 by bahtandsold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

udon Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 (edited) In photobucket you need to list the url under the pic, there is a choice of 3, enter the url after clicking on IMG here (I think) --------- Too fast for me jock.

Axel Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 (edited) I believe, with the soft ware used here, it should be possible to post image files directly. That's a feature marked "File attachments" that let's you browse in your own folders or desktop, identify the attachment you want to add and attach it. Guess this function has been disabled? Perhaps, if it is too easy we get a whole picture book and need far more bandwidth. Edited May 3, 2005 by Axel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you click the Browse button, you can select an image file from your local hard disk, Add This Attachment, wait for it to load, then click somewhere in your post to locate the blinking cursor, then Add Into Post.

You'll get a little [attachmentid=xxx] message, then Add Reply as usual. Like this. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This IMO is the best way to post a picture in Thaivisa forum: - it saves bandwidth - it loads the photograph relatively quickly even if you have a slow connection - it shows a thumbnail which gives you the choice; be satisfied with the thumbnail or click on the thumbnail and see the picture at its original size and resolution. - it retains a uniform size to the Thaivisa forum page on your computer. Uploading large, high resolution photographs as some of the other methods allow (Kan Win and Jockstar), slow down considerably the loading of pages and often distorts the picture of the forum page, and all following pages on that screen, so that the image expands beyond the limits of the physical screen on your computer - it doesn't look professional.

Neeranam Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Thanks for that Jai Dee. Let's have another go:- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai Dee Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 The only issue with posting photos in this manner, is that the ThaiVisa server has been uploaded with your file, and is therefore hosting your image. Does the server have enough storage space? Reason why I ask... at the bottom of my reply page next to the File Attachments I currently see the following message: Attachments Global Space Left: 22.36mb Question for ThaiVisa Admin: is this the total of TV's remaining attachment space, or is it the remaining attachment space for user Jai Dee?

tuky Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 It is your (JD) file space left mate. I quite often end up going into my controls and deleting the first several attachments to make room for my latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TizMe Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 From another thread. This is a guide to posting images on the forum that you find elsewhere on the web.Please read, even if you think that you know how to do it. Many people have been directly hotlinking images into the forum, but guess what, nobody can see them. When they look at your post, if they are using firefox then they will just see the words "user posted image" if they are using IE then they just see a red X. The reason for this is that most web sites don't like to have their bandwidth used by other sites, so they prevent direct hotlinking from themselves. Now I hear the original poster saying things like, "well I can see the image, so it must be a problem at your end". WRONG, the reason that you can see the image, but nobody else can is because you are loading the image from within your browser's cache and not from the original host. OK. There is an easy way around this though by following these simple steps. 1) Right click on the image at the original site. 2) Click "save image as" 3) Save the image to your computer. (desktop is fine, it will be easy to find it in step 5) 4) Go to 5) Click on the "Browse" button and then select the image that you saved in step 3 6) Click on the "host it" button. 7) ImageShack will then show you different links that you can use, either using "thumbnails" or using a full size image.(if the image is small to start with then the thumbnails options wont be shown) 8) Click on the text in the box next to "Hotlink for forums (1)", it should then become "highlighted". 9) Press Ctlr-C to copy the text to your clip-board. 10) Go back to the "Posting New Topic" 11) Click on your post where you want the image inserted. 12) Press Ctlr-V to paste the text into your post. After you click "Post" you should then see your image like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure, when I post my Panoramic Photos up, Yes they are a little long, but then you get the picture on you monitor which you could never see in real life, hence one posts these Som Tam (read sometimes). For me to find the photo that I think matches the “Fred” or him that I wish to respond to, it would take me a hours to do:- a ) find the photo b ) then re posting it or attaching it c ) and not reading all the other posts whilst waiting for that ex-err-size to work. In other words, my way is much quicker, simpler (as I have already done my up-loading) and easier to find in my 40 odd sub-directories. As to the SIZE of my posts i.e. photo only one person mention that they did not like it . Quite a few members however complemented my work. Happy days Yours truly, Kan Win P.S. I have a monitor that is 17” and the page looks mighty fine to me, High resolution and Quite Pro. Edited October 18, 2005 by Kan Win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
