To post a picture in your message,you'll need to have the picture already on the 'net.
An easy way to do this, is with a Photobucket account.

Only registered users can see links on this forum! Register or Login on forum!

The account is free, and it has tools that make it easy to post pictures in your message.
You'll need an email address to create your account. I suggest you create a NEW, safe, email account at one of the 'free' services that is not connected to you.
There's a slight chance the scammers may find your photos on the site.
I suggest not having your real name, or an email address you want to keep using, associated with your photobucket site.
You're probably not in any danger, but why not be safe?

For best viewing on this board, limit the width of the picture to
600 pixels. That keeps us from scrolling around to see the whole picture

It's easy to do at Photobucket. In your control album, you'll have an
'edit' button over each picture.
Click that, and you'll see the IMAGE, the IMAGE SIZE, and have some editing features.
IF it's more than 600 pixels WIDE, you can reduce it by clicking on the
'75%', or '50%', and so on.

On your main thumbnail page, will be several boxes underneath each thumbnail, with ready made URL or IMAGE tags.
You can see the Tags boxes underneath the thumbnails on this page.

If you're logged in as the owner of the album has some EDIT options on this page

The TAG you want to use on this board is the bottom one, that says
[IMG] your picture [/IMG]
Cut and paste that one into your message.

You may want to create albums for each 'lady' if you think you'll be uploading pictures of more than one.

The album name is part of your picture URL. If you move the picture into an album later, old links or posts of the picture won't display.

You can also add some text to appear below the picture. I sometimes add the email address, name, or 'scammer'.



Unless you have changed the options for your photo album, each thumbnail will show the following three options underneath.


URL The URL of the picture....

HTML HYPERLINK A clickable link for the picture.

<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f162/oksana1976/fan_club.jpg" border="0" alt="Image hosting by Photobucket"></a>

And the IMG Tag, you'll want to use here, which will dislplay the picture in your message.

Thanks, Stepan!!!

I will move this to All Other Issues board. If someone asks me about the procedure, I will just give them a link to this post.

LOL!!!!

Just a couple of tips to make the posts look 'nicer' and the board display better, or various screens...

Try to reduce the maximum width of the picture to 600 Pixels wide.
You can do this in Photobucket, using the 'edit' feature for each picture, or use a photoediting program. In Photobucket, they give you options of '75,50, and 25% of orginal size. Start with 75%, and then check the dimensions. If the width is under 600, you're cool.

(Wide pictures mean some people need to scroll all over Siberia to see everything!)

If you're using a Photobucket account, it is possible to fill them up!
No sense saving a bunch of 600kb size pix, without reducing them first.
I save the original in my computer, reduce it, and save the smaller copy with a slightly different name. That way you still have both.
The 'girls' don't often send HUGE picture files, but sometimes they do.
There's no need to post a HUGE picture here, anyway. YEah, most of us guys enjoy looking at them, but........

When you're posting a bunch of pictures in a message, make sure to enter a couple of blank likes in between them. Sometime they'll try to display on the same line.......
