How to post a picture..

Ok, I have seen a few people asking how do they post a picture various times, so I hope this somewhat helps..I will take you step by step

Below is a picture of your quick reply section, now on the left side there are different images for the tools you have, you want to click the one that looks like a painting for this task.



Ok, so this is what you want to show up in your reply box. (if for some reason you get something else then delete it and click the image from above again)



Now you can look for the image you want to post from whatever site you like...





After you have the link to the image you can now paste it between the code on TFS..





Click post and this should be your result with whatever image you chose.





you can also post pictures in your profile or signature, just get to know the codes and you'll be a pro or at least get the hang of it

https://www.theforumsite.com/forum/topic/BBCode/1261 here are the BBCode's which tino has on the bottom of every reply message box if you get confused..


there is also a test forum to practice if you like

hope this somewhat helped.

Thanks unspoken

Here is a current update, the concept is the same, just a different way to do it. I am using Chrome as a browser but the same thing works in firefox and IE.

When you have a picture on the internet you want to add to a post, here are the steps to do it.

1. Find the picture you want to use, with you mouse right-click on it so that the menu comes up:



Chrome: Select copy URL.
Firefox: Copy Image location
IE: Copy

2. Then come back to TFS and open a post box, and click the picture icon on the left. A box will pop up, and the HTTP part should be automatically highlighted. (it is not in my picture because of how I took the screen cap)



Right-Click directly on the highlighted part and you should get a paste option. Click that and the new url should appear in it's place. Eliminating the double http problem.

3. Click on OK box and the bbccode should be entered in your post box where the curser is and the picture will appear when you hit post. You can always click preview to make sure it is right.

The code for this picture looks like this:

and it displays like this:


TROUBLESHOOTING:

If it is not showing, check to see that there is not two HTTP in the link.

Also if the link is HTTPS that S means secure. sometimes it works to just delete the S, sometimes it does not. icanhascheezburger and facebook are known for not linking well, even with the "s" removed in that case you will have to post it as a link. That is a security feature from the originating website, not a TFS problem.
