Hey everyone.
I am new here and am having trouble posting a photo. On other sites I copy my BBCode from my flickr account. It does not seem to work for me here. Can someone please help me out and point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Rich, welcome to NPN. Just above the comment you've posted here you'll see a green banner with the listing on the right about Posting Guidelines. It is an in depth outline of how to with regard to posting images.
I've cut and pasted some of the information found in the Posting Guidelines on how to post images. Good luck !
It's listed here:
3 - How to Post Photos
Photos can be posted by linking to a photo on another website or by uploading a photo direct from your computer's hard drive to the NPN server. To link to a photo on another website (such as a personal website or hosting service), enter the URL of the photo (not the page) in the "Enter URL address of .jpg photo" field on the Post a Photo screen.
Uploading Photos
Maximum file size for uploaded photos is 1200 pixels/500kb (sRGB JPEG) for all galleries and forums. Photos are presented in three sizes;
Thumbnail (Galleries only) - 170 pixels longest side, automatically generated from Standard or Large files.
Standard - for files up to 300kb and 720 pixels on the longest side. Use the "Upload .jpg file" browse/upload function.
Large - for files larger than Standard and up to 500kb and 1200 pixels on the longest side (photo opens in new "View Larger Photo" window). This option automatically generates the Thumbnail and Standard size photos from a single large file. Use the "Upload an optional Larger Photo" browse/upload function. Option - you may prepare a Standard size file and upload it with your Large file
Additonal information in the Photo Posting Guidelines section below.
