GarethHD Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Hi I am sure this is basic IT stuff but I am struggling to put some photos on my for sale advert. I work on a Mac. I have tried all sorts of different file formats from jpegs to tiffs etc….. could someone please be kind enough to explain which file extensions the forum will support? Very many thanks. Gareth HD
M444TTB Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 I presume you have the photo hosted somewhere online? If not that's the first step. For example I have mine hosted via a paid for service provided by www.fotki.com. This gives me the link below to a photo I've uploaded: http://media.fotki.com/1_p,rsdtqrrdqqsfbbkxrqsrqtkkrgd,vi/kwkrsbtbwxsqbddwtwtxbsdqbskwr/3/53233/11467876/42426013182966-vi.jpg Add in front and at the end and here you go:
GarethHD Posted July 12, 2014 Author Posted July 12, 2014 Hi, thanks for the advice…. nothing is stored online just on my Mac hard drive…. don't suppose you can put them anywhere online without paying for hosting??
M444TTB Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 You can host them in the gallery here I believe. Theirs of Fotki.com and Photobucket do have free accounts too. Naturally they are limited.
Mark (smokey mow) Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Club members can either host their photos in the forum galley or alternatively I use Photobucket which is a free photo hosting site. Try these two links http://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic/101290-adding-photos-to-forum-posts-using-photobucket/?p=1046306 http://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic/107167-how-do-i-add-photos-to-my-forum-gallery-and-then-my-posts/?p=1118787
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Picasa is another free on-line hosting service. The Boardrooms gallery is fine for simple stuff with a smallish number of pictures. But for more complicated organisation and lots of photos, it's had to beat the pukka on-line services like Picasa, Photobucket etc.
