Hey Andy.

This was a real pain in the ass for me to figure out at first also, so I'll see if I can help you out. I'm definitely not a computer wiz and I'm not real great at giving directions but hopefully I can give you the basics. There's probably an easier way I just haven't figured it out yet.

The first thing you have to do is set up an account to an independant web server that hosts images. You can't directly upload to the board. I used servimg.com but there are others.

For the servimg site click the upload button on the home page. Then next to the file area click browse and select the files on your computer that contain your pics.

Select the picture you want and click the "host it" button. Wait for the picture to completely upload.

Under the BBcode area either click the "thumbnail" link for the pic or the "image" link for a full size pic.

Then just rt mouse click over the selected link and copy and paste to the message box on the forum

I hope this helps a little and maybe someone smarter than me can give you better directions later.

Oooh but you can Brad!

There is a "Galleries" button above right next to the FAQ and Calendar.

Click there.

It will open some galleries, at the bottom of the page you should see "Your personal album" if you click there and then click "upload a pic" at the left side (small white button) you can upload direct from your pc to here and keep the images on the site.

To link the image, view the image by clicking on it and underneath there will be a thumbnail code + a normal size code link.

Copy whichever one you want into your post and you are all set

And these are the user galleries if you want to look around other peoples pictures

Great info! Thanks Joe. I knew there had to be an easier way. I guess I should have asked when I first joined.

No problem , glad to help

I am sure there is a guide somewhere as to how to upload here , if not I will make one a bit later

Enjoy the TIG gallery!

Brad And Joe,,


Cheers lads for help in getting pictures uploaded, ive put a few pics in my gallery and one in lime light, all i need now is a steadier hand and better collection
