Posting multiple pictures ... HOW???

11 years ago

I can't seem to figure out how to post multiple pictures to a post. I've searched the instructions on how to do it, but must be missing something and it all seems so complicated. Is there a SIMPLE way to post multiple pictures just by pulling them out of my pictures file, or do I have to upload them to an external site first?

Do you have a Photobucket account or Flickr?

The instructions are in Bueh'ls "new to kitchens? thread.

If you have Photobucket, you click on the photo you want to upload, then look to the right. One of the choices is HTML, just click it and it copies the code, then paste it into your thread.

Repeat for next photo.

GW's upload doesn't allow you to "upload another photo" once you put in one.

Hope that helps. Oh, and when you do have Photobucket account, make sure to set the settings to private, or else you are letting everyone into your photobucket account if they click on a photo you post. Even ones you don't want people to see.

Eeeek ... that's scary! Thanks for the warning. And for the instructions ... yes, they do help. I thought there was some trick that I was missing ...

Nope... not as I know... unless you want to give a legend to the photo. Then this explanation goes between the tag lines. Good luck. Xuan

To upload multiple photos in the same post, you must get an account (free) from a place like photobucket.com and upload all your pics there. Then you copy the HTML CODE of the selected picture and come over here and paste the HTML CODE in the message box. (You need to click PREVIEW to see the pic.) Click on ENTER a couple times, go back to photobucket.com and copy the HTML CODE of another selected picture and insert it in the message box here. Repeat the process until you have inserted all the pics you desire. You can type before, in between, and after the pictures. OR--you use the Forum's method which allows you to insert one picture per post, but you go back to your thread and post a second time (one pic again), then go back to your thread and post a third time, etc. At least all the pics end up on the same thread. See the link below for my recent use of the Forum's method (because photobucket.com wasn't working right for me, for some reason.) Hope that helps.

The easiest way I found to do pictures on here is to use the free site Photobucket. Upload your pics to an album, and make that album public (for viewing). Each picture on there has a link you can click to embed the code into a web page. It copies that code to your clipboard, then you just paste into your post. After first pic in post, then drop down a line or two and go through the same process with your second, third, fourth, etc. pics. Easy as pie to use Photobucket in this way, and, is recommend by many on the GW forums. Hope this helps, Bryan

To post additional photos: Go to Tinypic.com, click CHOOSE FILE to find the photo on your computer, click RESIZE to select the appropriate size click UPLOAD NOW!, enter the security words and click UPLOAD NOW!, click once on the text in the "HTML for Websites" box (top one) putting the file on your clipboard then paste the file into the text box of your GardenWeb message. If it is too large in the Preview you should start again by clicking UPLOAD MORE and using RESIZE to make the file smaller before Uploading again. To add more photos keep clicking UPLOAD MORE

I finally figured it out, after much help here. :) I was overthinking it--all you have to do is cut and paste the HTML into this message box and during preview, it will show up! I did 6 or 7 this way. Previously, you couldn't put the pic directly in the message box, I believe. I never did figure out how to post a PB "album" because I couldn't find the html for it. Good luck!

Your pictures do have to be stored on a web server somewhere, you can't just upload multiple pictures from your hard drive. When you attach a picture using the GardenWeb image file upload feature (one at a time), GardenWeb is taking your picture and storing it so that it can be displayed here. When you go the Photobucket route, Photobucket is playing the role of storing the photo for web access. So unless you have your own web server at home, you will need to upload the files somewhere on the web before you can include them in a post here.

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!
