pictures

I believe I read that pictures will be posted on the new site differently. I didn't see anything explaining that.

Will photobucket still be OK? Or can we post directly form our saved pictures?

So far what I see on the new site looks good. Other than the title bar which I don't care for (colors too vibrant) the colores look good and everything is easy to read.

Format is kind of big - lots of scrolling.

Bonnie,

Pictures on the vBulletin site can be posted in a thread in two manners:

1. Uploading a file directly from YOUR OWN computer using the "manage attachment" link when you are creating a thread/post. This link is located in the area below where you input the main text of your post.


2. Inserting an image in a thread/post using the "insert image" icon when you create a thread/post. This option enables you to link to any image that is hosted on the internet (such as photobucket).

If you use option 1, vBulletin has a built in feature that will automatically resize your image to that max. dimensions allowed.

For option 2, the admins/mods will create a set of rules for posting images to adhere to a maximum set of dimensions so that the user experience for everyone remains enjoyable.

Somewhere in this new forum area, there is a thread about this. I believe one of the mods created a very nice tutorial too with images showing how to upload/insert images in vBulletin.

Hope this helps.

It does help, thank you. I must have over looked the thread/tutorial;.

I appreciate the reply.

You may know this, but, at least in Firefox, you can press Control and either the - or = key at the same time, which will decrease or increase the page respectively. My browser seems to remember my settings for each different website.

Are THUMBNAILs the only size option when using this method?

Yes, but when you click on the thumbnail, it opens to full size.

Here's a thread with some thumbnails:

It's nice, you don't have to resize the pics - the one I posted of Max was about 900kb, and it uploads it to about a 90kb file. Another way to ensure that no one gets a high res pic that you might post online.

Beautiful pictures - especially like the one of Max and that little dog! And yes, the thumbnails works good in enlarging the pix.

Saw your test thread, you have it down!

And thanks! That little dog just ran up to Max, I just kept thinking, yes, Max, do the right thing, and he was such a good boy
