Hur postar jag bilder?
Många tycker detta är ett dilemma att få in en bild på forumet
därför ska jag efter bästa förmåga se om jag kan förklara detta
på ett enkelt vis. Tyvärr så går det inte bara att publicera sina
bilder direkt ifrån sin dator vilket många tror. Det finns forum som
tillåter detta, men tyvärr så stödjer inte Time to talk´s forum detta.
Förutsättningen är att ha sina bilder uppladdade på en server.
Servrar finns att tillgå på olika vis, de flesta får ett server
utrymme av sin Internet leverantör för att till exempel lagra
sin hemsida på. I detta fall så måste bilderna laddas upp med en
FTP programvara.
Sedan finns det platser där man kan ladda upp bilder, det finns de
som är gratis och det finns de som tar en låg avgift för utrymmet.
photobucket.com, imagestation.com är populära värdar men det
kan tilläggas att vissa tillåter inte direktlänkning av bilden.
Vi gör ett exempel där vi har teila.se som värd och bilden som
måste vara av gif eller jpg format kallar vi klocka.jpg.
Man använder sig då av html kod som skrives direkt i samma
fält som man skriver sitt meddelande i, då kan man ha text både innan
och efter bilden. Detta ska då se ut så här:
http://www.telia.se/klocka.jpg
Man kan posta så många bilder man vill, det är bara att lägga in länkarna.
Lycka till
Här är lite grundligare info på engelska.
First things first, this
assumes you are using Internet Explorer 5.5 or better.
Other browsers may work, but that is not a guarantee.
You can type** your URL* directly in the text box of a Network54 forum and it will create a link to your picture or it will insert the picture,
depending on how your profile is set up Using the
WYSIWYG editor creates a clickable link to the picture. The standard editor
inserts the image.
NOTE!!!You do not need image tags ([img]...[/img]) on any Network54 site.
If you have a website of your own and
it's not a free server like Tripod or Angelfire
(which do not allow you to link to pictures from another site) skip this and
CLICK HERE
Please note that you must have JavaScript active for Network54 to function
properly.
There are 2 ways to do it if
you don't have a website:
Version 1: Temporary pics.
*Note*
These pics are supposed to last for a week and
then get deleted by the server.
Sometimes they don't delete them after a week and you have no option
to delete them yourself. For this reason, I recommend skipping this and going
to
Version 2
Login to Network54. http://www.network54.com/ If you click on that link, a new window will open so you can continue to follow the directions
here by switching back and forth.
Create a permanent login. Make sure you choose the WYSIWYG posting feature during the login creation process (you'll know it when you see it).
This allows you to post pictures just by copy-and-paste, and it also allows the link to be displayed if your pics don't show due to your server not allowing
Hot-linking. Also, choose the monthly reminder and reset feature. I don't know why, but using any other settings seems to screw things up.
Now, go to whichever board you want to post your picture on and hit "POST" (or whatever they use as a link to post on their board)
You'll notice the posting page has changed, there will be an option to insert pictures. Click on insert object.
Upload your picture into the temp folder Make sure your files are smaller than 100K in size. The best way to do this is make sure they are 640X480 or smaller
and use JPGs instead of GIFs. JPGs are better quality and they are a smaller file size than the same sized GIF image. The exception to this is any animated file,
which needs to be in GIF format.
If you are using a digital image from your camera, you may have to compress
the image to get it to a small enough file size.
If you keep going back to the upload screen with no picture uploading, you
have a problem with the file size or the file name. There is no warning given,
it just doesn't upload.
After you have uploaded your file, you can insert it in the post. This picture will have a limited shelf life and you have a limit as to how many you can store at any given time.

Version 2: Permanent pics.
This way works much better for many reasons.
Go to
http://www.network54.com/
If you click on that link, a new window will open so you can continue to
follow the directions here by switching back and forth.
Create a permanent login. Make sure you choose the WYSIWYG posting feature during the login creation process (you'll know it when you see it).

Hot-linking. Also, choose the monthly reminder and reset feature. I don't know why, but using any other settings seems to screw things up.
Create a realm (you'll see it when you get there, trust me).
Now, go to whichever board you want to post your picture on and hit "POST" (or whatever they use as a link to post on their board)
Upload your pictures into your realm, not the temporary folder. These pictures will remain in this folder until you delete them. You have a limit to how much
space you can use, but it's more than the temp folder. Make sure your files are smaller than 100K in size. The best way to do this is make sure they are
640X480 or smaller and use JPGs instead of GIFs. JPGs are better quality and they are a smaller file size than the same sized GIF image. The exception to
this is any animated file, which
needs to be in GIF format.
If you keep going back to the upload screen with no picture uploading, you
have a problem with the file size or the file name. There is no warning given,
it
just doesn't upload.
Post as normal, you will see a completely different set of posting options now. There will be a picture button, font and formatting buttons, etc. You will also
be logged in whenever
you go to a Network54 website. No more typing in your name and e-mail address
each time you post a message.
***One note on the permanent login. If you notice you need to enter your name
and e-mail address when you post, it's time to login again. This should be
about once a month if you choose that setting. If you choose any other setting, it appears to be a random time that the login stops working. You need to go
to the Network54 home page to login again. It takes about 2 seconds to do it.

Go to the picture on your website (or any other) that you want to post and right-click it. Hit "COPY" then come back to the page you are posting on.
In the message box, click where you would like your picture to be and hit CTRL-V on your keyboard. That is the keyboard shortcut for "Paste". You can
also right-click anywhere in the text box and hit "Paste".
*URL (Universal Resource Locator)
= the location of your picture on the internet,
not on your hard drive.
**NOTE:**
Network54 does not support picture names with (nearly) anything
besides letters and numbers in the name.
For example picture10.jpg will work
picture#10.jpg or picture 10.jpg will not. (spaces are a big no-no)
Dashes and underscores are the exception and there may be others,
but try to stick to letters and numbers (alphanumeric characters).
Also, if you are storing the pictures at Network54, they need to be smaller than
100K in file size.
A simple rule of thumb here is any 640X480 or smaller image in JPG format will
work.
Some larger pictures will work, but there are no guarantees there that you can
keep them under 100K
