how do you post pictures?

[Ronald L. Cypher]

I would like to post pictures of my SRT with new painted stripes. I have a jpeg image, but cannot seem to post it. Suggestions? Thanks

Email them to me, I'll post them. I'm looking forward to seeing what it looks like!

thanks for the offer, but I would like to learn how to do it. Can you explain it? Thanks!!

rcyphermd,

Can't wait to see them. I have been thinking about striping my car but have held back to see how others look.

Well, first upload your pictures to a web server, then simply link to them using the image URL, like this: <font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>[image]http://host/picture.jpg[/image]</pre><hr />
or whatever. The hard part is finding a server to host your pictures. Do a google on "image hosting" and you should find servers willing to take your pictures. But like I said, since you need a server anyway, I have a server and am willing to host your pics for now until you get another account set up at imagestation or wherever.

Also, I think if you register in the media section of this site, you can upload your pictures and then link from there.

Edit: Before you upload your pictures, make sure they are properly encoded and compressed. Resize them if necessary to about 1024x768 at most, preferably 800x600. Adjust the compression until you get them down to ~30k or 40k. You can put a link in your thread to the higher resolution and quality images for those who want a better look.

I tried to email you but your site will not take private messages,

Don't use a private message, use email. My email address is in my profile ([email protected]). Just send your pictures as attachments and I'll get them up on the server.

In case no one has given you instructions.

Posting for the computer challenged (Me)

1. set up an account at imagestation.com it is free.( might work from VCA gallery I do not know)
2. Upload your pictures to image station

3. pick a picture &amp; click on it to open. yOU HAVE TO OPEN THE PICTURE COMPLETELY FOR IT TO WORK

4. right click until you see "properties" click on properties. I had to move the mouse so that the pointer was off the picture to get properties to show up.

5. Highlight the properties address that comes up ,right click to copy.

6. Start a post on Viper club.

7. at the bottom of the page you will see the word "image" click on that button.
8. a box will come up with "http " in blue at the begining, delete everything in the box.

9. left click in the address box still up(to put the curser there), then right click &amp; click on paste. That is it.

It took me about 5 tries the first time but then again I am not that computer literate.
