Without pointing out my newbie status, can anyone tell me how

[suninvited]

to post a picture? I see people post that have a picture under their post, not their avatar, but a picture.

I am pathetically asking how to do this?

[Redstone]

1. Just type the actual location of the picture.

Like this, but without the quotation marks:

"http://www.somesite.com/picturefolder/picturename.jpg"

2. find an image

get the url of the image so that it says .jpg or whatever at the end

cut

paste

enjoy :D

[suninvited]

28. Nice Image

wish I had one as nice

[XemaSab]

32. Try google

:D

[MassLiberal]

3. I had to ask, too

You have to have your photos on a photo hosting site, like Photobucket, not just on your hard drive. From the hosting site you copy the image code and paste it into your email. Photobucket is at www.photobucket.com. Good luck!

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. Probably, yes, someone can tell you how to do that.

As to your second question, I don't know if you are pathetically asking how to do this - I don't think so. That's a weird question to ask, though, dude.

And welcome to DU! :hi:

If you ask me how to post a picture, I will happily be one of the people who can not only tell you, but will tell you how to do so, and I will try to do it without pointing out your newbie status - though since you've already pointed that out quite clearly by announcing it, I'm not sure why it's an issue with you.

6. Thank you for the welcome

I guess I point it out because I am normally what most would consider computer literate, and I feel a bit silly asking such fundamental questions...

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. Yes, but by announcing it so brazenly you made it a moot issue to ask someone not to point it out

Like saying "Without pointing out that my head is covered in red paint, what's the answer to this question...?"

[suninvited]

12. How could I have missed that?

[suninvited]

33. Dont hate because my head is covered in red paint

Stop the hate !!

5. OMG NOOB WTF BYOB

It's pretty easy.
Use the HTML Lookup Table when you post. It makes it all nice and simple.

[suninvited]

8. BYOB?

can I bmov?

Okay...I am going to look for a photo host...

Then
I will have more questions..

[Danger Mouse]

11. Sure, drink em if you got em...

7. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

Just right click the pic you want, copy the location and then post that url/jpg in your reply.

Or...if it's on your computer, use a photo storage service.

http://www.photobucket.com etc. There are other free photo storage places too.

Upload your pic to photobucket and copy the url they create for you!

It's free too! ;)

[suninvited]

10. Thank you all, will try it now....

13. well..that didnt work !

[Breeze54]

25. Did you register and create an account? And an album 1st?

Also, why not try posting any image here now.

Do a google search for - 'bush monkey' - IMAGES on Google

and then click the image itself and then click on the words at top--> See full-size image.

Copy the url in the address bar at the top, after the pic loads, copy THAT url and paste it in a post here on DU.

http://www.webbusiness.no/webprivat/usa/upfiles/bush_monkey. jpg
(I added the space before jpg, so the pic wouldn't post yet)



EXPERIMENT!! :)

14. thank you for the welcome

15. You're getting there

From the HELP menu:

How do I post an image?

There is no special code to post images. All you have to do is type the URL of the image, like so:

If you are using Internet Explorer on a Windows computer, you can find the URL of an image by right-clicking on that image, and then selecting "Properties." Look for where it says "Address (URL)."

--And it also helps if you open up a photobucket account or some other place where you can place your images on an internet server.

And welcome to DU!
:hi:

17. maybe posting images isnt my genre

[marzipanni]

22. LOL! I see Mr. Geo. W. Potatoe (a la Quayle) head

That's cute. What a spud Dud! (not your picture- the dude)

[suninvited]

29. you see it, then?

I spent an hour on that image ! glad someone can see it

[suninvited]

19. Okay, I see my image that time

but do I have to copy and paste the url everytime I want to put that picture?

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. Yes, every time you want a picture to show up, you have to post the URL

If you want a pic in your sigline, then put it in your sigline under "options --> edit your profile"

[suninvited]

23. thank you, rabrrrrr

I appreciate your help.

[Rabrrrrrr]

24. No problem! We're all here to help each other out.

Like helping you see that I have seven r's - one in front, 6 in back.

:7

I hope you get the hang of posting pictures! Then you can work on bold, italic, strikethrough, blink and marquee

[suninvited]

26. oh, horror, that I mispelled Rabrrrrrr...but, I never was particularly good at math

but, thank you for your help !

21. Welcome Texan!

I'm a Texan too.

Just store an image at someplace like Photobucket. They give you the URL for each picture.
Then in your post just put the URL. When it posts it will be the picture. The URL will end in something like .jpg, .gif, .bmp. Photobucket does all the work for you.

Welcome to DU.

27. Thank you very much mad !!

and accompanied by someone like Mr. Peabody, I will pay extra attention!

[KitchenWitch]

30. Sign up for a free photobucket account

At photobucket.com

Then upload the photos to that account.

Once the photos are uploaded, click on the URL link to the uploaded photo (this will copy the URL) then paste it into the body of your post.

:D
