Photo Upload Guidelines
You'll be able to upload and attach photos directly to any new post (or reply) you make on the forums, including the classifieds. Photos are a great way to help explain a question or answer, show off your rig, sell your parts or Bronco, etc.
- There will be a 150 KB size limit to each photos you can upload. Many photos are simply too big for the web and viewers don't want to have to scroll sideways 5 times to see the whole image. I'll provide basic instructions for those who need help resizing their photos.
- Photos can be JPG, GIF or BMP types. (JPG is usually best to keep the size down)
- Photos will be deleted eventually. Probably after 3 months or so. Maybe longer if the photo folder doesn't get extremely large.
- Photos should follow the same rules as the rest of the forum. Try to keep it Bronco related. If it's not Bronco related at least be sure to post it in the Off Topic forum. Nudity (or even semi-nudity) is absolutely not allowed.
Please remember this is an added feature and completely optional. Nothing is being taken away or changed for standard members. If you currently show photos from your own website or one of the free web hosts you can continue to do so and you probably don't need this service. It just simplifies the process by allowing you to upload directly from your computer to the forums.
Instructions on uploading photos in your posts
1. Start a new topic or reply to one as you normally would.
2. Fill in the message body then look below for a button that says, "Photo Uploads" (see image above) When you click it a new window will pop up. Click the "Browse" button(s) and then find the photo on your computer. Note: There is a 150 MB size limit on attachments. If you sort your files by "details" it will show how large the file is.
3. Once you've found the photo double click to select it. Repeat if you have more than 1 photo to upload.
4. Then click "Post". The "Preview" feature will not show your photo, but once you post it will show up.
5. If you want to upload multiple photos just reply to your message again and upload another.
Modifying or deleting a photo
1. Go to the post you want to modify and click "Edit or Delete" in the lower right of that post.
2. Below the message body window there is a option that says "Delete current attachment" Check it and click "Save Changes" If you are changing photos then use the "Upload new attachment:" option.
There are instructions on how to upload at the beginning of this thread. If you still have questions please post in the Test and Help forum.
