A Gardeners Forum Forums Members History Forum Life 2004 Posting your own photos

I would be happy to set up an album for any members that want one that would be like the one we have for our neighborhood garden club website. You have to register, but it is a free site.

It does have adds on it, but they are not too intrusive. It is very easy to use. Everyone could each have our own album, add and delete our own pictures and edit the title and description of each picture.

I've been using a couple free sites for hosting images, web pages, or whatever. Walagata is one where you can store images, screenshots, pictures, etc and link to them from anywhere. They allow 1mb of space per person and do NOT allow multiple accounts. If possible, convert your images to GIF format before hosting them there. They take less room and load faster. IrfanView is a free image editing program that will do this nicely. If you decide to get it, get the "all plug-ins" file that goes with it. It's real good.
If you want a complete site, try Freewebs . You can't link to individual images from there unless each one is linked to your index page (main page). It does have a larger capacity though. I've been using both for both a website and storing images I link to from other places, and both have been reliable. Besides, I can't argue with free.

An image practice - my favorite grass miscanthus if it works...

That was fun. By the way, the link under my signature, in red, never deleted when I updated my profile options. It was intended to be an avatar below my name.

On the Miscanthus, I tried the...

img src="http://www.entireurlgoeshere.com"

and the img and final quote have < and then > on the left and right ends - the only space is between the img and src. It's a challenge to write that code without is messing the message. I've got to find a link to a page with those codes.

Got to try one more with the button in the reply box...



That was easy - that's Gizmo off our safe and toxic woods for birds page at the website.

All it takes is right clicking on the picture, then clicking "properties" in the box. Then click and drag the whole picture url to highlight, and right click again to pop up the box for "copy" for the clipboard, then just paste back in the reply box. Remember to eliminate the double http:// that may end up in the final stage.

Hi M.D.!
When you tried to use the img src tag, you were attempting to utilize html coding, which I don't allow here for the simple reason that most people have no idea of how to correctly use html (which can cause a lot of problems.)

Our forum allows UBB code, which is an easier to use variation of html...

I just thought I'd add photobucket to the list of free places to put your pictures. It loads fairly quickly compared to what I've used befor and has three different tags under your picture that you can just copy and past onto the site without doing anything else. You can also load manypictures at once, up to 19 but I wouldn't do that unless you have something else to do for a while! Here I'll just past this, some more details.
Direct / Hot linking allowed
2,500 megs bandwidth p/month (~70,000 hits)
100 megs disk space (~2,500 pictures)
No porn or offensive pictures
Users must be at least 16 years of age
Only 1 account per person
It has no adds what so ever so no pop ups or anything.

Hey Apples! Thanks for the tip. I'll try to post a photo and see if it goes through.

Here we go:

See anything yet?

Bess,

Beautiful! I love how very green everything is in the spring!

Great Picture!!! Very Nice!
Good colors together!
What's in the back ground?
Stairs? A pond?

Thanks for sharing that!

Weezie

Very very pretty!
Tulips are soooo cheery - especially on gloomy days like today!

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! Those things in the background are steps. And a blue hose! How'd that get in there!?

bestofour...

I think mine all went to documents and settings.

I go to "my computer" first.

Then "c" drive (you may be able to skip this click.

Then "docs" or "documents"

Possibly followed by "my documents"

I think it may be "user" next.

And then "my pictures" in my case.

If yours follows that same chain, then you keep working your way further into the dates of files.

I learned real fast how to organize and rename photo files to eradicate the numbers.

testing this out.....

Bill is correct about all he said. Your pics have to be on some server somewhere on the net before you can link/ show them.

The only drawback to free services for pictures is they generally limit the visual and KB size of your pictures.

If you need to post a high quality detail picture such as to "What is this bug on my plants is" and don't have a place that will allow that much then E-mail it to me. I will host it for you and send back to you the URL/ address that is needed.

Send it to this box as it has unlimited storage. Send the best quality picture you have. If it needs to be resized for this board or you want a full zoom on the "bug" but lack that type of software just let me know what you want done and I will take care of it.

Of course this is at no cost. I have much-o storage on my gaming site.

:p

[img] http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=3555670093"><IMG [/img] I just want the pic to come up not a site

Did that help it at all?

I can see a picture with a fence like,
and a red sweet pea and some morning glories????

Weezie

I think you did see my pic but how can I get it to just post instead of a website? What you saw was the morning glories, which I was trying to show the seed pods for another post , and a red gladiola in the background.

Not toooooooo sure, I'm just learnin' this stuff my self!!
Maybe Jiffy or Lynne (plants~n~Pot's) or Carly can help, they've all posted pictures straight on to the page????
If you don't get a reply, we'll hunt someone down who does!!!

Weezie

melcon6,
Right click on your photo (not the thumbnail) and go down to the bottom where it says "Properties". Click that.

A box will come up and there is an address (URL) there. Copy and paste that address in the "Image" bar (first backspace over the "http" that comes up already in the bar). Your picture should show up.

Cindy

Yep... Cindy is absolutely correct!
The image bar is below the message box, next to the Graemlins.

Can't wait to see your pictures, Melcon!
