But how do you do it?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mr Fast Fingers

OK, as you can see, TwitPic will only allow you to post a thumbnail of the pic.  If you want to post the entire pic, you should use Photobucket or Flickr.  These instructions will work for TwitPic and Photobucket ONLY.

1. In the bottom right hand corner of your TwitPic page, you'll see a link that says "Put this photo on your website". When you click on it, it'll will give you the HTML code to copy.   (On Photobucket, just find the HTML code for your pic and copy it.)

2. Directly under the comment boxes on scottsigler.com, you will see a link that says "Disable rich-text".  Click this, then paste the HTML code into the comment box.

3. After you copy the code into the comment box, click the link that now says "Enable rich-text".  You should now be able to see the pic in the comment box.

4. Click "Post" and that's all there is to it!

NOTE: If you use Photobucket, you will have to resize your pic to a reasonable size for the forums BEFORE pasting the code into the comment box.  We can't have ginormous pics being posted all over the place.

Hope this helps!!!

The small collection will swell when Ancestor arrives, then 'The Starter'.

The holy grail, of course, is Earthcore and original Ancestor next!

Are you just pasting in an image link, or is the html more complex than that?

Doc

It's as simple as that.

Now I just have to remember it for when I use it...

Photobucket recently updated their site and now you can copy the code for a clickable thumbnail that will link back to the original pic, so you no longer have to worry about resizing it before posting it here.

From your Photobucket album, hover over the picture you want to post and click Share.  Then click the tab that says Get link code.  Under HTML for websites & blogs, you'll see the code for the clickable thumbnail.  Copy the code then follow steps 2-4 mentioned in my Photo help post from above.

If you are viewing an individual picture, when you hover over it some options will appear along the top of the pic.  Under Share, click More options.  Then click the tab that says Get link code and follow the remaining steps mentioned above.

I know this seems like a lot of work, but once you get the hang of it, you'll find it only takes a few seconds.  I prefer to use this method of posting because Flickr limits the number of pics you can upload to their site without having to pay for more space and I quickly reached that limit.  So now I use Photobucket for pretty much everything.

I don't like that they re-size my uploads though

----------------------------------------------------------

I use this most of the time for my quick snapshots - like the FDO goodies through the post - so found this really useful. Many thanks Belladonna you rawk!

Since "pics or it didn't happen" is pretty much an unspoken Junkie rule around here, I figured everyone should know how to post pics so there aren't any excuses!
