KM's Pic Posting Tutorial - with pics!
Uploading pics to TeakDoor Gallery. The explanation for each step is under each pic.
At the top of every page you’ll see these header choices. Left click on Gallery.
The page which opens looks like this. Move your mouse to the little house on the left at the top of the screen.
When you hover over the house you’ll see these options. Click on ‘upload file’.
This tutorial presumes you’re uploading a file from your own computer, so click ‘browse’.
It will open the directory on your computer. Locate the files you want to upload. Select them one at a time.
Either double click on the highlighted file or click ‘open’. Result will move your file to TD’s upload.
Repeat this process to a maximum of ten files. You’ll need to scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the blue button marked ‘continue’.
Click ‘continue and wait until you get the following message.
When you see the ‘successful uploads’ screen you can click ‘continue’ again.
Now you have to decide where you want the file kept on your TD gallery. Click the down arrow ‘v’ for ‘select album’.
Choose which album you want to place the pic in and underneath type anything you want to say about the pic. Then click ‘continue’.
If you’ve done it correctly TD will tell you that it has been successful. You will need to repeat this process for every pic you uploaded which is tedious to say the least.
Now, if you want to see your pics DO NOT click ‘continue’ or you will be taken to the gallery front page.
Go back to the little house at the top of the screen and click ‘My gallery’.
The screen which opens will show all your albums. If you have many you’ll need to scroll down to find the newest one which loads at the bottom. (Admin are you reading this).
Click on your new album which here is ‘Pics Tutorial’.
This will open all the pics in this particular album. Click on the pic you want to post.
If you want to post the pic in this size right click and select ‘copy image location’.
Be careful NOT to select ‘copy link location’. If you want to show the pic in the full size of the file then first you must click on the pic itself to increase the size, like this.
Now you can right click and select ‘copy image location’.
Now, go back to the thread on the forum where you wanted to post the pic and click on the yellow box of the mountains. This will open the url page. Easiest way for this step is to use the key board. Press ‘Ctrl v’ which will paste the url link of your pic. You can use the mouse to paste with but make sure you delete the ‘http’ which is already there, otherwise you’ll get it twice and your pic will not show.
If you’ve done this correctly you will be able to see some of your pic in the small screen before you click ‘Post Quick Reply’.
If you see the little square box instead of your pic you have selected ‘copy link location’ instead of ‘copy image location’.
Now really, this is quite a process, but once you’ve done it a couple of times you will be able to do it quite quickly.
For most of my travel threads I load them to one of my own websites and just link from there. Good for SEOs both for me and for TD.
For general things though, I upload pics to my gallery and link from there.
Hope this helps. Cheers. KM…
