Hi all! I just realized I have no idea how to post a picture. I went to the SEARCH section but couldn't find what I was looking for. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Can I post Images?
Images can indeed be shown in your posts. However, there is no facility at present for uploading images directly to this board. Therefore you must link to an image stored on a publicly accessible web server, e.g. http://www.some-unknown-place.net/my-picture.gif. You cannot link to pictures stored on your own PC (unless it is a publicly accessible server) nor to images stored behind authentication mechanisms such as Hotmail or Yahoo mailboxes, password-protected sites, etc. To display the image use either the BBCode [img] tag or appropriate HTML (if allowed).

This is from the FAQ section at the very top of the page. Hope it helps

Up load your pics to

http://www.tinypic.com

or

http://www.flickr.com

and you can then copy and paste html code that will post the pics on this forum. You may have to learn a little html, but if I can do it anybody can.

Hi
These are directions written by GoofyUT several months ago. I hope he won't mind if I paste them here.

Its easy!!!

Take a digital photo, load it onto your computer, and then upload it to a "photo hosting" service on the web. http://www.photobucket.com is VERY popular, easy to use and FREE!!

When you upload a photo to Photobucket, it'll generate some code that it lists in a line under the picture, and which is called a "tag." You highlight that line and copy it to your clip-board using "copy" in your Edit menu.

Then, when you want to upload a photo to cpaptalk.com, you click on the "Img" button at the top of the text page for a post (to the right of "Message body") then click "Paste" in your edit menu, and that tag line will be pasted right there. You then click the "Img" button again.

You're free to add any text that you want before or after you paste the image code in using the "Img" button.

Now me again.
You have to have a user name and password to make an account on photobucket. I use the tag that is the html one. They make several tag lines for you. So, sign on, browse for a picture, then upload. Not hard at all. You won't see the picture until you preview your post. It will show up then.

Hope that helps. t-bone showed me how to do all this in about 5 minutes.

It sure would be nice if the instructions posted by Catnapper from GoofyUT could be included in the "Collected Wisdom" under the Forum Technical Tips. Might really help some people (like me!).

All the best,

You won't regret Photobucket. My wife has been using it for a few years now uploading all the children's pics and has well over 1,000 uploaded (very high res). Never had a problem. Every time she uploads a new batch we send out email links to the family to view.
