How to post photos on Grrrr8 forum.

I decided to post this since there have been a few requests on how to post photo's
There are several ways to do this. My personal choice is Photobucket.com since they resize all photo's.
You can also upload to this site. At some point in time, there will be a storage issue IMHO. Also, the photo's often only have a link.

Go to http://photobucket.com/
Creat new account. Click on Join Now.
Fill out required information.
After you create an account, logon and select Account options.
Under album settings select private. That way you can post your photo's and not have someone looking through your album. :D

Uploading your photo's

Posting your photo's
Create new post on Grrrr8 forum. Logon to your photobucket account.
Find the photo you want to post.
Here is a thumbnail of my previous car.

Click in the box that is to the right of IMG code. The code will be copied to the clipboard.
Paste that in your post.

The nice thing about photobucket is my photo's are usually around 4 megs. Photobucket resizes them for me, plus they are hosting hundreds of photo's for free.

If you have any questions send me a pm, I'll be glad to help.

I also realize, photobucket is NOT the only place to host photo's or files. I found it is the best site for me. You may use another hosting site, but posting your photo's is still the same.
