Quick question, sorry if it's a repeat.

How do I post pictures in a thread? How 'bout a small video (mpg, avi, etc.)? I'm guessing I need some sort of host. What's the best/easiest to use? Thanks.

Click here for VB code instructions

You will need to upload your images and files to a host.

If it's a photo already online you just add the following before the URL: [img] and a / inside the brackets of [img] at the end of the url

How do I type in this mystical red x?

I keep adding red x's but it's still not working.

Edit: ooooohhh... cool. now i can start posting images. But where is a good place to host them?

Buford T Pusser · 03-12-04, 01:43 PM

just like this: [img]ArdenisabigredX[/img]

aerobson · 03-12-04, 01:44 PM

It's not online yet. I got a video as an attachment in an email that I want to post here. A pic as well. I guess I need to find a free host. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the link Arden, very helpful. BTW, how do you give your link a differnt title, instead of having the whole link listed out. Like this Click here for VB code instructions instead of like this http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/misc.php?s=&action=bbcode ? Thanks.

Arden · 03-12-04, 01:51 PM

for the purposes of this example replace {} with []

the syntax for a true hyperlink is like this:
{url=http://www.dvdtalk.com}Dvd talk website{/url}

replace the brackets and you get this
DVD talk website

Sorry for all the basic questions. I decided against the standard "Say hi to noobie X" post and went straight to asking stupid questions.

All you need to do now is establish a reputation as either an extreme Democrat or and extreme Republican.

Bush.

I did some research. I didn't like the free web hosts, but I did learn that Comcast offers free online file storage for subscribers, so I'm going to go that route. I know my thread got moved, but thanks for all the help.

How does he have 13 posts and already shed the "cool new" moniker? Is 10 the limit?

Tommy -- you go from New Member to Cool New Member after post number 20. Then you become a Member with post number 50, and you remain a member until you hit 250.

User titles are here, among other places. aerobson has not hit post number 20 yet... so n00bie, get out there and post, post, post!
