Hi Guys :D

How do you add a piccy to your profile, I know its got to be less than 5okb, found all the ones that big or less, tried to add it and it kept saying please see a moderator or something along those lines. :(

So therefore I am unable to put up a piccy of us. :(

Many thanks in advance. :sign60:

Puzzled and confused :doh:


Lynn xx :chuckle:

Have you tried it this way ?

Ok, step by step..........
(I will base these instructions on photobucket, but there are other similar sites)
1. Register an account with photobucket, (go to http://photobucket.com/, and click on "sign up".
2. Begin uploading photos...you can sort them into albums etc, and fiddle about with sizes, rotate, etc, etc
3. When you want to put up a pic on Adelaidebrits....
a. Log in to your photobucket page, find the pic or pics that you want to use, then click on the little tickbox under the photo(s) that you want to use.
b. Scroll down the page and click on where it says "Generate HTML and IMG code"
c. This will take you to a new page - scroll down to where it says "IMG clickable thumbnails for message boards - recommended"
d. Right click on all the blurb that is written underneath "IMG clickable thumbnails for message boards - recommended", (it should be highlighted automatically), then click "copy" (the blurb looks something like....[ URL=http://photobucket.com/albums/ v162/andy19363/?current=Im000300.jpg&action=view]IMG]http://img. photobucket.com/albums/v162/andy19363/th_Im000300.jpg[/IMG][/URL])
e. Go to Adelaidebrits -> Members area -> Picture Album -> whichever pics forum you require, and start a new topic
f. In the box you would normally write in, give a description of the pics, then on a new line, right-click and select "paste". All the blurb you highlighted before should appear.
g. Click "preview post", to check it works, then click "post new topic"
h. Stand back and admire your handiwork!

I find that it usually works when you do it via photobucket or shuttlefly,you don't have to use the Adbrits account, you can set up your own account, see how you get on & if your still having difficulties let us know :D

Err shaz, I think she just wants a picture in her profile not a clickable thumbnail.

Once your picture is uploaded to photobucket you will see some options under the picture.
Just click on the text next to where it says direct link.
it will automatically be coppied.

then come back to adbrits page for changing your personal photo.
Right click in the space next to HTTP//: and select paste. and then update or upload (I cnat remember)

dont worry about the size, leave it blank.


Clear ad Mud I hope :D

Thanks Shaz and Delboy, yes I do want a piccy for my profile, silly me did'nt realise I had to put it on photobucket first. :doh:

Thank you.

Lynn

:help: THANKS SHAZ WILL USE THAT INFO ALSO!!
