INSERTING A PIC ON A POST There are four ways to insert a pic on a post. We'll talk about inserting from a group photo album first. I feel this is most of the time the best way to post pics. It automaticall resizes large photos to 600 x 800. So you don't get a huge image that blows out the page width. It also compresses the file which helps with storage space. Plus it's always there for future use. Neither of these things happen if you insert directly from your computer. So if you have pics to share, I recommend creating a photo album first if you don't already have one, upload your pics to the album, and inserting the on your post from there. You can also insert directly from your computer. This works in a simular fashion, but has the drawbacks discussed above. You can attach a pic, but then ppl still have to click on the attachment to see it. Attach is mainly for short videos, wavs and stuff like that. Another way to insert pics on a post is to hotlink them, or get the HTML from images you may have at an image host like Photo Bucket. There will be a tutorial for that down the road. Lets get started with inserting a pic from a group photo album. When you click the "New Message" link, the window below will appear. Click the little yellow insert pic tool located on the tool bar circled below.  You will then see the window below. By default, you get the "my online photos" tab which list all the groups you belong to. I only belong to the Underground with this passport, so it's the only one listed. When a group is clicked, all the albums in that group are listed |
