Title: NEW !! FORUM USER'S PHOTO SHARING ACCOUNT.
Post by: Fly on July 02, 2014, 07:14:09 PM
If forum members want to share photo's etc, we've opened a Photobucket account.
Simply ask me for the login password, then goto www.photobucket.com (http://www.photobucket.com) and login using the username chesterfieldonline and the password

Once you're logged in, to upload a photo, click the orange UPLOAD button top centre of screen.

Simply use your mouse's left button to drag a picture into the upload box.

Here's an old mill stone I've just uploaded to the forum's Photobucket account.

When you click on the uploaded image in Photobucket you are given a set of options on the right side of the screen.

Click your left mouse button in the box marked IMG on the right, then come back to the forum where you are posting your photo. Left click in the create message box, then press and hold 'Ctrl' on your keyboard and press 'v'
You should see similiar to this.

Pressing the Preview button will show you your picture is Ok to post. Simples LOL

Any questions, please feel free to ask me.

I hope Umpire doesn't mind me using this picture that was uploaded to the PB account by him/her.

The picture posted in the jolies thread by Umpire was by using an attachment within the post. No probs  ;)
There is a limit in the forum software that might not allow some photo's to be shown this way though, due to file size.
We could have this limit raised, but we'd prefer not to or have advertising flashing in our members faces to pay for it.
Let's keep the forum free, and advert free  :)

As usual, any questions, please ask  ;)

So Photobucket have now stopped letting it's users share photos on forums etc.
So bang goes the forums photo sharing account. I ain't paying for it  ;)

Luckily I have a free  :)  alternative that should suffice  (y)
Not that there's a lot of people likely to use it  ;D :D :))
I'll implement it if it's actually needed. Adding photos via the attachment method when making a post should still be ok, but might not let you post large images.

Well hello there Alsatian old chap. How the hell are you ?  (y) :)

I altered the settings on the forum so pictures could be uploaded within your posts. There's a limit of about 8mb per picture and 4 pictures per post. (If that makes sense lol)

Thanks for that Fly, I'm fine (now) thank you. As mentioned I had my prostate removed a couple of years back and I also had my gall bladder removed a few years previous to that. As well as being medically necessary, I also saw it as a money saving opportunity - I've told Shirley that, when I shuffle off this mortal coil, make sure she asks for a discount at the local crematorium, as there's less of me to burn!

Alsatian thanks for the tip. I also have bits missing internally so should qualify for a discount  ;)
