Ok testing my first picture now.

In case this doesn't work - question: there are 3 long "codes" under the photos I put in the photobucket album which one (or something else entirely?) do I use? I used the bottom one here - labeled Img. Any other instructions?

[Kali]

1. guess that wasn't it - anybody?

will try somethign else

5. Hi Kali The line you need to copy is the url line

Like i did with this photo of my cat Norman

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Kali]

6. I can see a big ole cat eye but mine didn't work

do I need to put it in brackets or these thingies: <<<>>>?

[ralps]

14. Like Kitchenwitch wrote there are 3 lines, the top line is the url, the

2nd line is the tag line and the bottom line is the img line. Use the top line . It starts with http://
:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

30. My first appearance in honor of YOUR perserverance,Kali!

Your man in the faculty lounge,
GG:smoke:

[Kali]

32. heh thanks

I wonder if I managed to set a record for number of posts to a "help how do I do photos?" thread? I know it must be the longest I have ever generated! Usually they sink pretty fast.

Having some tasty beverages?

[KitchenWitch]

2. Use the top link (URL)

That will get it to post directly to the thread

Nice horse and bird! BTW

[Kali]

4. that is what number 3 is what am I doing wrong

bird is Watson, Emperor of all he surveys

old horse is Moonwalker, sweetest beast and beast heart I ever met (good lawnmower too)

[LunaSea]

7. looks like you are

not getting the entire URL copied.
only part of it.

[Kali]

8. oh ok trying again

10. maybe DU doesn't allow bitmaps?

your file is a bitmap. maybe save it as a jpeg and try again?

[Kali]

12. trying a different photo

[ralps]

17. Yay!!! You did it!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[KitchenWitch]

9. Here are the links in order

from a picture in my photobucket account:

URL


Tag
<img src="" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com">

IMG


The URL link is in the top box.

15. question?

how come mine transfer so small?

[KitchenWitch]

16. Because the actual pixel size is small

you pic here is 115 X 160 pixels

I would estimate that my church sign is in the neighborhood of 300x400

[knowbody0]

20. so i must have transfered it to photobucket

from my printer at that small size?

[KitchenWitch]

21. That would be my guess

You may want to look at your hard drive to see if you have a larger version. Then you can upload it - after you rename it.

[knowbody0]

23. so kind

thanks kitchenWitch..........it's fun learning this stuff.

[KitchenWitch]

26. Any time

I am glad I could help...

[swag]

11. Love the photo.

[MADem]

13. Clip the top one, that starts w/http

[New Earth]

18. i really do think it's because it's bitmap

:shrug:

need to change the format to jpeg.

[Kali]

19. Ok I think I got it - one more question, though

I think the problem was the Watson/Moonwalker photo was a bmp file - it was scanned from a real photograph and the cowboy picture was from the digital camera.

Or am I wrong and that bmp file should work?

My next question is how to make that image smaller? - I have to slide my view over to see it. Same with the cat picture (and others I have seen)

OH and THANKS everybody for the help!!!:woohoo: :woohoo: :applause: :applause: :toast:

[New Earth]

22. argghghgh

i was trying to say twice that it was because you have it saved as a bitmap :cry:

save it as a jpg and it should post fine. :hi: :)

[swag]

24. Right.

Bitmaps won't show.

Bingo, Faye. Bingo thrice over.

Kali, do you want help saving the pic off as a ".jpg" instead of as a ".bmp?"

[Kali]

28. Sorry my connection is really slow

I'm not sure I have that (the bird/horse) on my hard drive anymore because I think I ruined it trying to shrink it or something so I assume I need to send it back to myself?

Sorry to be so irritating, my question was how to shrink the OTHER photo - the cowboy one...

[New Earth]

29. here is your original

if you wanna right click and save it, it's a jpg :shrug:

[Kali]

31. cool! thanks!

Moonwalker and Watson are on the internets!:woohoo:

[ralps]

27. How large is your monitor? the photo of norman's eye is 800 by 600

If you have a photo program like photoshop you can resize any photo thats on your hard drive and then save it. (you should name it something different than the original photo). :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[miss_kitty]

25. It's a .bmp file

DU only does .gif and .jpg.

Save it in your computer as a .jpg file and upload it to photobucket.

then we can see it
