Add An Image to Your Post

[Scud]

Hi guys,

I got an email asking how to post images to the message board. The new site makes it much easier than the old and I just discovered this myself. You're going to love this:

Go to the "Control Panel" area. The link is it the upper right, below your sign-in name. Then click the "My Personal Stuff" link and then "My Files". The new site gives you a certain amount of space for personal files. You can create folders and upload files. After uploading a file, you can click on the file name and it will give you various options, like the html code you'll need to cut and paste into your post. I recommend keeping photos around 500-600 pixels wide at no more than 100 dpi (or 72 dpi). Anything over that will make for slow viewing and isn't necessary. Here's a screen I made as a test and it also shows the area I'm talking about. Also, check out Randy's tutorial in the "Important Threads" area. It's the old way, but he gives a little tutorial on preparing your images.

oops. That didn't work, so I took the URL code (https://www.theblitz.club/uploads/users/...screen.jpg) and clicked on the "insert Image" icon above where you type your post and added the link there.
