Posting Images Guide

Theres 2 ways to post images on Warwickshire Modified, the first and best is with the use of a image hosting (hosting simply means storage) site such as Photobucket ( www.photobucket.com or http://photobucket.com/iphone for iPhone users).

1. External Image Sites

A. First step is to head to the site and create an account by clicking JOIN NOW. Follow all the nessercery steps to create and activated your account.




B. Once youve done this and logged in you'll most likely be taken to this page, if not, find "MY ALBUMS" on screen and it should take you there. You can now choose files to be uploaded onto your photobucket. Click this, and find your photos stored on your PC




C. It will then upload your image, and if successful will display a green message saying (e.g.) "1 OF 1 IMAGES UPLOADED".


D. You can then scroll down that page to find your images available. Underneath you will find all the codes you need to display your image elsewhere (on this forum etc.). The code you need for forums is at the bottom, labelled as "IMG Code".


E. If you simply click the text area beside it, it will automatically copy the code for you (as Control + C would).




You then paste this code (Ctl + V, or Edit menu >> Paste) into your forum post/topic. Simply as that! Repeat if you wish to add more images that you want to upload, or if you uploaded them all in one go repeat the instructions in step E



HINT: When viewing all your images on photobucket, you can click "EDIT" just above each one to get options to resize them etc. Resizing can be good for making the images fit on a page, and reload quicker. The most common size for forums is 640 x 480 (down as "Message Board" in Photobuckets Preset Sizes).


2. Image Attachment (Elite Members ONLY!)

Simply create your post / topic, then at the end scroll down to the options and clikc the "Upload attachment" option. Find your image on your PC and upload it. Simple. The image will be attached to your post.

If it says your image is too large for an attachment, use the WM Image Resizer to change the image to a small size, and this will make it a smaller file size. Head to http://www.warwickshiremodified.co.uk/resize/ and click browse to find your image on your computer, then select the size you want to change it to (we recommend a width of 640 or 800), and click Submit. Wait afew moments (progress is show by your loading bar at the bottom of page) and it will give you the option to download the image. Do this, and then upload that image to the attachment feature. Done!

You'll need to edit the image to fit, under 125px

If your unsure of how to do this, just post an image or email it to us and we'll do it for you

There is now a simple image resizer here; http://www.warwickshiremodified.co.uk/resize/
Use this to make images smaller in size (640 or 800 recommended) and therefore making them a smaller file size so you can upload them as an attachment to posts, or just to create an avatar (select 125 width).
