Photo's are important! (info on loading pictures)
« on: December 22, 2008, 02:33:05 am »
If at all possible, please post pictures of the item(s) you're asking about.  The chances of you receiving a reply are much greater with in-focus pictures. 

How to post a picture. Its simple as long as you have either a digital camera or a film camera and a scanner.

You can upload pictures directly from your computer to this forum...

In the "post reply" or "start new topic" window, at the bottom, you can click on "additional options", and there you can upload a picture from your computer.

OR, you can upload pictures from a host site:

1. Upload the photo to your pc

2. You'll need a photo host. I find www.photobucket.com has worked well. Its free!  You'll need to register and log-on.  Again, it's free!

3. Once you have a photo host and the picture loaded in your pc, you click on browse in Photobucket

4. Find your picture and doubleclick it

5. click on upload in Photobucket and your photo will be loaded on the photo host

6. After you have written your post in which you want to place your picture, click on the third box under your photo in photobucket - - its the box labelled "IMG" You may also have to click on copy or you may not

7. Then, place your cursor on the correct spot in your new post and right click then left click on paste. You'll get the Image tag or, I believe its called UBB code showing on your post. That code will turn into your pic when you post

8. See, posting a photo is a simple copy and paste.

Thank you for posting this!  It is so frustrating when people ask questions that are virtually impossible to answer without a picture!  Plus, I love to see their pics anyway!
Merry Christmas!

I can't seem to get pix to upload to your site. Are there any common problems that you can help me solve. I've got a very interesting item and it's making me crazy that I can't put it in front of you folks. My browser just rolls on and on yet not photo gets to you.

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone can give me advice on taking good pictures of coins to post on a topic I opened today.  I am having trouble taking clear photos, for some reason the picture doesn't come out there is a streak of light in every picture no matter the angle or lighting.

Thank you!

Sometimes you have to resize your photos in your photo galleries. Right click on the mouse and hit resize and for the glare set your camera for an outside photo. It's usually the flower setting.

Mario, all I have not been able to see any of your new avatar for quite some time now, is it the red X of the hen's comb?  ;D

Man, I can't even type good english anymore.  I had to correct 3 missed words!
