Instructions on how to do this would be appreciated.

Thanks for the question. I'll work on putting up a FAQ. But for now, here's a rough guide:

1. If your photo is already on the web somewhere (e.g. www.photobucket.com), then you're off to a great start.

Otherwise, if you're a forum member, you can upload images (100KB max) by pressing the upload button when posting. Just make sure to resize your photos to a reasonable size (e.g. 640x480) so that it doesn't take too long for other people to download and view.

Once the upload is finished, you'll be presented with a URL.

2. Get the full URL to your photo (including the http:// bit). e.g. http://img3.photobucket.com/albums/v13/d...r/1274.jpg

3. When posting, click on the Img BBcode button and enter the URL. Or you can create your own BBcode like so:

Code:

[img]http://img3.photobucket.com/albums/v13/demouser/1241.jpg[/img]

And voila! Your image is now linked!

Smart arse! Hahaha ok, I'll try.

[Mr_Gadget]

Hey ST, did you take that photo?

[shuttertalk]

Haha, nice photo isn't it?

I didn't take it though It's one of the sample pictures in the demo photobucket album.

Ahhh...why don't you head down to Williamstown and take a similar shot!

[ramboy]

Ok here is one. This one was taken quite accidentally but it turned out to be a good photo nonetheless. The shutter was open long enough for the trails of lights to occur

OK, let me have a go......................

Did it work????

[Rufus]

Hmmm,
It works if you right click the red "X" and say "show picture"





WAIT!!

No, it doesnt!!!

[lemangoholic]

Testing to see whether this works...

[lemangoholic]

That was Amsterdam by night...

The photobucket site is good, but I have to reduce the size by a lot before loading it there. Totally wrecked the photo's quality

[shuttertalk]

Wow! Did you take that one, lemangoholic?

[lemangoholic]

Yup

[shuttertalk]

Hey everyone, due to popular demand, I've allowed uploading of photos. I'm restricting the size to 100KB only though, because my hosting space and bandwith is not unlimited... (some donations may influence this though )

Another thing - just make sure your photos aren't too large (in terms of dimensions) otherwise it'll take users ages to download. I recommend 640x480 or 800x600.

OK,
I'll test this one.
Here's a direct upload.......

[Rufus]

Oh dear.

I think this is a lost cause.....

[Rufus]

Nice one ST!

How'd you like my phone then?

[shuttertalk]

Oops, sorry! I forgot to test with IE.

Fixed now... I hope... well for IE and Firefox anyway. Let me know if anhything else is broken!

[lemangoholic]

Testing the direct upload

Hey nice shot, lemangoholic! I've got some safari shots too:

Another good format is:

"url=http://photography.mysticktech.com/albums/userpics/10001/CoralSands.JPG][img] http://photography.mysticktech.com/album...lSands.JPG[/img][/url]"

Note: You need to add a [ to the start before URL to make it work
which results in:

hope you don't mind if I jump in. I'm pretty new at this stuff, I'm also tone-deaf, and color blind ...here's my attempt at talent

[crazy_irish_chick]

OMG I did it! I'm going to get better at this I swear

[Petographer]

Very good shot Crazy.
