How to post multiple thumbnail links from PhotoBucket.txt

18 years ago

Hi Ya'll! Happy New year. I see we have a lot of new members so I thought I would let you in on some secrets I've learned. There is an easy way to post multiple pictures into a single thread using thumbnail links provided by PhotoBucket, where you can get a free account, which is a useful tool for those who love this forum. You can show pictures of before and after projects side by side, post different views side by side, etc. It also takes very little bandwidth to open the GW post since the information is in thumbnails rather than in large pictures.

The first step, of course, is to go to PhotoBucket.com, set up a membership and upload your pictures. Then click the little boxes next to the pictures you want to use and go down to the bottom of the page, click the down arrow beside the little window that reads "Choose Action" and choose "Generate HTML & IMG code". Then push the "Go" button.

This will bring up a new page with several windows with text, I use the first one. Click on the window, then right click and choose "Copy".

Come back to GJ and write your text, right click and choose "Paste". Preview.

That's all there is to it. Here's the table of pictures I generated when I did the original:

I took out the <center> command and the spaces between the pictures, btw. I hope this is a help to somebody!

Nigella - Here is a big THANK YOU for posting those directions. I actually could do it. I posted your message on the Hypertufa forum where we are always trying to figure this posting photos thing out.

OK, I get it so far, but how about the space between images? (Please excuse them....I just grabbed the first ones I found!!)

First upload pics to a photo-hosting site like Flickr, Picasa, Photobucket, etc. while viewing the pic there, you will find a path to the HTML CODE for that picture. The path usually starts with the link, "Share." Once you locate the code, copy and then paste into your message. Can paste code for multiple pictures. Watch that you do not accidentally get the code for thumbnails or small pictures. Once you paste the code, you will see picture(s) in the message preview (to know if you got it right.)

Allesandro wrote: just a comment: this is surely appreciable, but noone on earth still writes html code that way ..... No, that is not so, Allesandro, in fact most Web authors who are dedicated to producing interoperable pages -- those that will render in all user agents -- use text editors to hand code HTML Markup. Automatic code generators ("canned" Web page software) frequently employ non-standard propriety HTML Markup that may render correctly in the more popular graphical Browsers, but not in other rendering agents. Although these software packages are getting better at generating interoperable pages, most still fall short, not even providing alternate text for images (as we are not doing here) thus violating the requirements of accessibility for people with disabilities. While the majority of Rendering Agents used on the Internet are Graphical Browsers that display text and images (such as MSIE, FireFox, Opera, et al), Textual Browsers that only display text and Screen Readers that read pages from left to right -- top to bottom -- and render the text as synthesized speech are also frequently employed, particularly by People with Disabilities. The major premise of the principle of Interoperability, as advanced by the W3C, is that Web pages which contain valid HTML markup -- measured against established standards -- will function satisfactorily in all Rendering Agents. Conversely, pages that contain invalid HTML Markup with propriety tags and constructs (tag soup) -- will only function reliably in Rendering Agents designed to accommodate those tags and constructs. To get an idea of just how many Graphical Browsers alone (therefor excluding Text Browsers and Screen Readers) are currently used on the WWW visit ..... XHTML media type test - results ..... standards complying Markup is essential to insure correct rendering in all of them, i.e. Interoperability. The most frequently used method of checking HTML Markup for standards compliance/Web page Interoperability is to use a reliable Validator such as ..... W3C Markup Validation Service ..... most extant Web pages, composed using non-standard automatically generated Markup, will fail Validation (not interoperable). Test this GW page -- or your own -- just out of curiosity. Pages that pass Validation are interoperable (will render correctly in ALL devices) and garner accolades for the author! James

Thumbnails, linking to larger view, Irfanview

John, one thing. The purpose of thumbnails is to have a faster loading picture and give the viewers a 'sneak peek'. I make 2 separate pictures - one the full sized .jpg, and another one a thumbnail but much smaller - in the 5-10 k range. 2 separate pictures and if the big one is named (for ex.) hibiscus_yellow.jpg the thumbnail is named hibiscus_yellow_sm.jpg. I add the 'sm' to designate it is a smaller .jpg. Then you will get small, fast loading thumbnails linking to the better-quality, full sized .jpg.

Posting multiple pictures ... HOW???

Pasting the photo HTML in the message box has worked for as long as I've been a member - since July 2007....so it's not a "new" thing. What's (relatively) "new" is the "image upload" that GardenWeb now has for the Kitchen's Forum. Regarding Photobucket and Privacy issues....each album has it's own privacy settings. I, for example, have all my Kitchen Remodel and Kitchen Design pics set to "Public". All other albums are set to "Private". Private albums are not accessible if you have public albums and post a link to a pic in a public album. In fact, private albums do not show up to the public so they don't know they're even there. As was mentioned b/f, the "Read Me" thread has instructions for posting pictures - plus a wealth of other information! Here is a link that might be useful: New To Kitchens? Posting Pics? Read Me!

Phyllis, I think what you're trying to do is this:

This is done by adding the command

border="0"

after the img src information. Here's one of your's:

Hi Phyllis? Was that what you meant? Or were you asking how to space them apart from one another? If you want to have them close, but not right on top of each other just make a space(in GW, this won't work elsewhere, elsewhere you'll need this code, I have to insert a space so it : & nbsp)

I was understanding this I think until I read the last line about taking out the center command and the spaces. That's common for me--I follow the thought, then someone offers an alternative way and suddenly I am completely lost! LOL I will just have to practice this to learn it, but it is a great idea.

Love your kitty pic...so cute! What kind of plant is that in the 3rd & 4th picture? Is it hard to grow?

Nigella didn't know just how much she would impact our lives even when she is no longer posting here. I think of her almost every day, because I have some plants that she gave me!

Thanks Barb...the plant is Amaranth aka chenille plant aka love lies bleeding. It is VERY easy to grow. These are last years that I grew from seed. I grew more this year from seed I gathered from these plants. I have two brown paper grocery bags full of the flower heads that I'm hoping to get seeds from, so if anyone wants seeds....just send me a sase, and I'll get them out asap!

So, my pictures showed up here, but when I posted some on the conversations side, using this same method, they couldn't be seen....hmmmmmmmmm Wonder what I did wrong?

Jean,
Love your kitty pic too! Do you mind me asking what breed your cat is? We adopted a cat that looks just like him and they thought he might be lynx siamese. We also adopted his sister and she looks like a lilac point.
Thanks,
Kelly

Great tips thanks!
I'm puter challenged too.
I'm wondering, can you add thumbnails like that to emails? Does it depend what email your using? (I use thunderbird)

Also, can we save a complete thread here? Seems like the clippings thing just saves one message? And the searches lose pictures when they are old?
Love all the pictures(esp the kitty!)
