While I love the Gallery feature here, the file size limitation causes a little consternation. Most of my pics exceed the size limit.
So I often host my pics with a paid service which automatically adjusts the resolution and sizes the linked photo.
Thought sometimes they seem cranky to load into the thread.

If you use 800 by 600 resolution the size of the photo is canceled out and it will upload.

when you can do this: copy
paste

or this copy url directly into posts.

I don't understand the logic behind this.

Obviously you don't understand.
.

Yes. Me and quite a few more.
Some people keep saying it's easy to load pictures here.
Well it's not.
There has to be an easier way to do this or are we all dumb.

Just keep banging away at it mate as It took me about 4 hours to sort it .

Read all the different instructions and you'll get it right one time.

Since I was one of the dumbarses who couldn't seem to upload an image directly from my computer & into a post, I spent hours searching for threads about this. After wading through hundreds of posts, I've finally figured out what's going on.
Here is the result, which nobody has bothered to explain in a "straight forward" manner. I would like to re-word DD's explanation, since most people seem totally confused about this. My edits in blue.

Hi everyone, so you want to know how to post a pic on this forum. It is quite simple but until you know how it might seem daunting.

First off, you cannot directly upload an image from your hard-drive, to a post. You can only attach an image to a post if you upload that image to your gallery first OR if that image is hosted on another website. The instructions for creating a gallery & linking to another website, are as below. This really is quite easy and will automatically resize your pic to a forum friendly size and look really snazzy. Of course, you can use your own image host or hotlink but if you have not sized your pic it may stretch your post and be way to big to be viewed properly.

As a Teakdoor member you are entitled to your own free User Gallery.

Goto the gallery, click create/order my gallery, then click new, and then type the name of the album, ie motorbike pics album, then click continue and then your away




Place your mouse cursor over the little house on the top left and more optins will open, Then Click on 'Upload file' and you will be taken to the upload page where you can use either the browse function or paste in a url.



Once you have selected the pic that you would like to upload to your gallery simply click 'Continue' and you will only have to wait a few seconds while the Gallery grabs the pic.

I have used this pic just as an example.



You will then have the 'successful upload' page come up.



Again, click 'Continue' and in just a few more seconds be taken to the Gallery with your pic now successfully loaded into your gallery.
The page will look like this........



With 'Random files' appearing at the top and your pic (as shown above) shown in 'Last additions'.



So now you want to post the pic on the forum or maybe somewhere else on the net.

All you need to do is simply click on the image that you want to post.
It will automatically bring the pic up like this.



Now simply right click anywhere on the image and the drop down menu will appear. Click on 'Properties' then a small window will pop up, from there copy the address URL and your computer will now remember it, for firefox users just right click and copy the image location.
Navigate to where you want to paste the pic either on the forum or anywhere on the net and simply 'paste' it wherever you choose.

It really is quite simple once you have done it a few times and gotten used to it.

If you have any specific questions, please post them here and I will do my best to answer your query.

Have fun.
