How to include Pictures in your post - Instructions

[Inyureye]

You can't (unfortunatetly) upload pics to our server. Just remember that you can't upload any images to this site.

You have to use images linked from another uploaded site, like your own web page, or a flikr sort of images account. That means if the picture ever is changed or taken away, your link in your post to it won't work any more. Sometimes servers on large image sites also don't allow linking because of the traffic that one picture pulls, creating stress on their bandwidth etc.

So choose a place to store your pics online, which allows linking (alot of servers do, don't worry) and follow the instructions below. One of two ways:

You put the URL of the image between either the [img]...[/img] tags or the [url]...[/url] tags, according to the format behind the same buttons up above the posting window when you are creating a post:

If you want an image right in your post, use the img tags

If you want a link to an image or webpage or whatever, use the url tags.

To find the URL of any image found online any time, right click on the image and scroll down to properties. There you will find the html address of the image. I usually just highlight that, copy it and paste it here between the tags. Below is a pic linked from canterne.org using the img tags:



Below is the same picture from the same site linked using the URL tag:



http://www.canterne.org/images-salehorses/Cat_Topper_corrected.jpg

If you click on the above link, you will find the pic I used. Right click on it and find the properties or info about it and see the url address I used. I used that same html address in the img tag and then in the url tag, right here in this post, and you can see the different effects.

Good luck.

If you're talking about the All Breed Pedigrees; copy the intended photo to a CD and then upload the picture from the CD to All Breed it becomes a permanent addition to the All Breed database. This method may work for the Forum as well.

What frustrates me are the links to websites that have changed or no longer exist the picture is no longer accessible.
