The forum hosts offers unlimited bandwidth, and no restriction on the number of posts, members, or size of forum and is free. So what's the catch?
The catch is pictures cannot be uploaded straight onto this website and so it is first necessary for a user to have an image "hosted" somewhere else.
To do this you have to use a picture host such as flickr or Photobucket or even your own Internet provider.
It is then a case of uploading your pictures from your computer directly onto a host such as these.
Once they are uploaded you can then post on this forum.
With Photobucket it is easy to get the image posted.
In your album you will see four lines of code underneath each thumbnail picture. The bottom one includes the [img] tags. If you click it once you will see the word "copied" appear in yellow. You can then go into your message on this forum, right-click and select "paste". This will paste the entire URL including the img tags.
When downloading be careful to make sure the size will be suitable for the forum. The suggested size is 800 X 600 for posting on the forum. |
