Think I have added a pic

[Betska]

Hi again everyone, many people asked me to post some pics of Lightening here and at first I went to the gallery section and thought I did actually add a few pics but I dont know where they are, anyway I have now found the photo bucket page that I joined up for when I first tried to join this forum and I think I can now add a pic but they look huge, I even goto the edit part under the message resize it but it posts it big not resized, what am I doing wrong here? help lol

Hi Betti.

Before you upload the photos either to the Gallery OR to Photobucket,

download VSO images resizer.

http://www.vso-softw.../image_resizer/

and select all the images you want to resize. I resize mine to 600 X 800

it's a big enough size without being HUGE. . .here's an example.

This image taken from Photobucket

This image taken from my Gallery

I normally resize all of my images as copies and keep them in a seperate "resized" folder.

keeping the higher resolution "originals" in case I need the larger resolution later.

Then I upload my resized images either direct to the forum Gallery

or

to Photobucket.

OK how to add an image to your post / thread.

1. From the Gallery.

Start your topic or reply in a thread.

open a second version of Husky-Owners and go to your Gallery

and click on the image you want to use.

On the right hand side you will see lines of code, the one you want is "BBCode"

copy all the entire line of code.

Now go back to your topic or thread and paste the line of code.

do that each time for each image you want to add.

you can space them out and you can add text in between the pictures if you want..

Easy.

2. From Photobucket.

Exactly the same but in Photoobucket the line of code to copy is on the right hand side of the screen and is the "IMGCode"

Otherwise EXACTLY the same as for the Gallery.

Hope this helps
