How can I post an image or picture to the forum?

11 years ago

Posting images to the forum: The simplest current method seems to be on the Photobucket website. Unless you know about image URLs and the HTML and tags, try and use the various Web image storing site explanations.

Image posting etiquette:

Images that are larger that 100kb (right-click your image and select "properties" to find size info) will make
other forum members impatient waiting for the full image to appear on their computer--especially if they
have a dial-up connection to the Internet, as this is somewhat slow.

If you know how to re-size your image to make it smaller before posting it, please do so.

Since most posted images are of general interest to the forum, occasional hot-linking of photos, even largish ones, is OK. This forum has a photo gallery section--consider using it to post larger photos and then refer to that image
in your text message in the regular forum. There is a set of image posting instructions in the forum Gallery section.

Nice! Left a comment on Photobucket for you. I have a photobucket account, but I prefer Flickr. Flickr lets you have 200 photos for free, and I prefer their user interface. Also, seems to me they don't downsize photos as much. Take a look, see what you think: Lisa's Hosta Set on Flickr Lisa's GardenWeb photos on Photobucket

Gardenweb doesn't have an "upload video" feature so really there's no easy way to do it. Youtube provides HTML5 embed code but it uses the "i frame"(without the space, even the word is blocked here) tag which is blocked in the forums(although not in your "my page"). I don't know of a site that allows you to upload a video and provides code that uses the HTML5 "video" tag. But I really haven't searched, maybe one exists? Even then, the video would only be visible by those using an HTML5 capable browser. So yeah, it's possible but neither easy nor reliable, at least not yet. Internet Archive's player requires either JavaScript to be enabled or a modern browser that understands the HTML5 tag. Christmas Comes But Once a Year (1936), Public Domain. It would probably be easier to link to the video instead of trying to make it viewable here?
