ADMIN How to upload photos - Become a Contributor

[admin]

There are two ways to upload photos to the forums;

1. Free - Use an outside photo hosting site. Click here for instructions.
2. $12 per year - Become a Contributor and help support the site. See instructions below.

Become a Site Contributor!

Click here to sign up.
Contributor status includes:

• Photo Uploads in the Forums
• Contributor title under your username
• Twice the disc space in the Photo Gallery
• Twice the PM space in your inbox
• And of course you help support this site!

For a small fee ($12 for one year) you can now become a site Contributor and have the ability to upload photos directly into your posts in the forums. Payment can be made via Paypal subscription service or check.

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. Update: The forum software will attempt to resize your images as you upload them, so size shouldn't be a big deal anymore. If you're having problems with the upload being slow it's possible your images are extremely large. Try uploading 1 or 2 at a time if you run into speed issues.
• Photos can be JPG, GIF or BMP types. (JPG is usually best to keep the size down)
• 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. If replying to an existing topic you'll need to click the "go advanced" button below the message window. The "quick reply" message window doesn't show the "upload photos" button.



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.

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.

is a byte the same as a MB all my pics are at least 300 bytes ??? how can i resize them

[admin]

Are you sure they're 300 BYTES, and not 300 KB? 300 KB would be more of a normal size for a digital camera.

1 KB = 1,000 BYTES
1 MB = 1,000 KB

(those are rounded off, but close enough for our use here)

I'll set up a quick tutorial on how to resize images. I'll include Photoshop and Paint Shop. If you need help resizing and are using another graphics program please let me know what it is.

Admin this new pic upload is awesome..Even a computer semi-literate like me figured it out in a couple of minutes.I will pick up Photoshop since several say it works great.Count on my $12.00.Thanks!!

Ok, I sent you a paypal payment. Thanks for the added service.

An easy way to go about resizing photo's for the board/internet if you have windows xp (probably ME as well). You can right click an picture and go to "send to" choose mail recipient and then it will pop up the image in an email. Save that to your desktop and send/upload it to the internet. Drops a 600k file do about 30 or so.

I just got off my lazy butt and made the contribution.

Don't know how much I'll use the photo upload feature... But really appreciate how much work Jon has done to promote the site, keep it running reliably, etc.

I encourage everyone to cough up the $12. Think about it - it's a small price to pay to support a great forum, and I know that I get way more than $12 worth of entertainment and information from here! 8)

I sent my Paypal payment. please update me so I can get really really confused about how to add photos.

[admin]

Done. 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.

Thanks!

$12 is a very small price to pay for all the help and information that's available on this site. I'd urge anyone using this site to join and continue to promote Classic Broncos. Thanks to all the hard work put into this forum.

Hey I just signed up to be a contributor. I think this is a small price to pay for a great site like this. I hope to learn how to use the upload feature and put up a few pics. Thanks 69sport

[LostInTheSouth]

It's easy to use once you are a contribute there well be a open field at the bottom of your message and a browse button just click it and find the file that you have your pictures in it's that easy.
YES IT IS A SMALL PRICE TO PAY.

Curious is there another way to contribute other than pay pal?

[ROKDWLR]

I just signed up using paypal but noticed that you can also send a check or money order.
