How to post images -- newbies, please read

[Mew52]

I can't get on to Photobucket or ImageShack!!!

Have you created an account?

If not do so.

If so, then do you mean the website won't load or what?

Good that there is finally a thread like this. Many newbies are still confussled on this, this will certainly help the Newbie Lounge.

Wow, thanks for posting this. I'm a newbie at these forum things and I just got a new Painting software!!! ._.

where are the image tags

You type them in. You put "

" around the URL of the image you want to show. For example, typing this in:

[ img ]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b84/GeneralGuyII/ophiejan2007bk.png[ /img ]

Gets you this (when you remove the spaces):

my parents won't allow me to use those things. can i go straight from PAINT

To use what things? ImageShack and PhotoBucket? Just tell them that you're uploading your own files, and you don't see anyone else's unless they show it to you. I doubt it'll get through to anyone though.

And no, you can't upload straight from MS Paint. Most uploading sites either don't allow BMP files at all or convert them to ugly high-compression JPG.

so..... you can host pics from your file on image shack, right?

and btw, when you create an account on imageshack, do you have to pay money? or is it free like pokemon crater?

Thank you.

The increase of "how do I post images?" spam has been growing until the point where we can't take it anymore. If you don't know how to post pictures on the fan art/sprites/comics forum, here's your thread.

1) Get an image host.

You need to host your image online, you cannot just link it from your computer like some people try to do (and obviously fail at). I would reccomend either ImageShack or Photobucket to host images for free.

Or if you want to showcase your art, try DeviantART.

2) Use the code, Luke!

Use it. It's your friend.

[img](IMAGE URL HERE)[/img]

Use the image URL given to you by the free upload site in the middle of the image tags and voila, instant image. HTML will NOT work on vBulletin, so don't bother trying using <img src="">.

And there you go. That's all there is to it. Post here if you're still having trouble. x_X

The image I want is too big, can I shrink it?

 

[Mari_Mudkip]

how do you make the image show up in your post?

 

[Mari_Mudkip]

Um...help...I'm waiting...
