    How to post a picture/Edit a thread title/Embed youtube

    There may be other ways but this is probably best.

    So, for example, this string:

    [IMG]http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g331/readyeseve/Calguns/DSCF1276a_zps0a7ecc4a.jpg[/IMG]

    produces this:

        It applies to how the internet and vBulletin works?
        You have to upload it somewhere... and you have to use vB code to get it to display..



        Step 1: Upload it somewhere. tinypic.com is fast and easy no account needed

        Step 2: Click the icon that looks like this in the top of the post box

        Step 3: Paste the link in the box that pops up

        Alternate Step 2&3: Or enter the link that looks like this that tinypic gives you (minus the spaces) [ IMG]http://www. whatever.com/photo.jpg[ /IMG] in the post box manually.

            I have tried posting once using that form of string but a Dropbox link and it didn't work, is using Dropbox a no-go?

                I use photobucket. basic service is free. instead of resizing pictures, change the settings in the camera to less pixels first.
                Been gone too long. It's been 15 to 20 years since i had to shelf my guns. Those early years sucked.
                I really miss the good old Pomona Gun Shows.

                    imgur is my new preference...

                    You can reduce the size if the image is to big for cal guns
                    Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

                    Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

                    Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

                    Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

                      The steps below enabled me to show the pics on the actual post:

                      Click on "Go Advanced" button next to "Post Quick Reply"

                      Click on the Paper Clip icon, a new window will open

                      Click on "Choose File" button to choose the picture you want to upload

                      Click on "Upload" button (You can upload up to 5 pics)

                      Click on "Close this window" on the upper right-hand corner when done

                      Click again on the Paper Clip icon - you can insert one pic at a time by selecting the file name or all at once by clicking on "Insert All"

                      Click on "Preview Post" button to see if you like your post

                      BTW, please make sure that your pics are not too large or too small for ease of browsing (if you are using Microsoft Office Picture Manager, re-size your pic by choosing "Web - Large (640 x 480 px)" on the "Pre-defined width x height" drop-down menu

                        I wish it was easier. I am not computer literate like some of you and I have a lot I want to share.

                          Reasons:

                          Absolutely no registration required ever

                          Imgur protects your privacy by stripping out META data from your photos

                          Really persistent images - don't worry about them disappearing one day

                          Best of all, it's super easy because it was designed by people sick of Photobucket and similar sites that the photos don't exist anymore.
