Where should I go to post photos to the wed so I can link for viewing on this forum?
Thanks

I'm still working on a hosting server specifically for this forum...I think I'm another two weeks away though.

Let mr know when you get there!

You might try this outfit. I don't know anything about them, but somebody posted their site over on the BST forum a while back.

Last I checked, boomspeed.com was still free. They are not reliable enough to be used for auctions, in my opinion, but for freebie coin pics they're probably OK.

If an image has a file size of less than 50 kb, I believe, you may attach it to a post here on the forums, i.e. upload it to Collector's Universe for free. (See example below).

To do this, you go into message post mode by clicking "reply" or "new topic", depending on which you are doing, then click on the "attach files" box below the area where you type in your message. If the image is saved on your computer and is within the filesize limitations, click "Browse" on the little box that comes up, find your image, then click "upload file". After it uploads, it should should appear in the box below, which is where all your uploaded images on the site will be listed. Then you click "attach file" and it will appear on your post like my example picture of a proof Indian cent should, below.

You can try this on the Testing forum.

(This post edited to correct my punctuation- posting the attachment was no prob at all).

Of course, once your image is uploaded to this site, you have a URL for it, so you can either post a
LINK to it, or post a picture of it that pops up automatically:



See? The URL for my Indian cent is:

"https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/oldattachments/RainbowInjun.jpg" .

I tried this at the test forum. If it worked here, as it did for me as it did at the test forum, you should see a guy smiling.

I was wondering that myself.

There ya go, CCR.

Good job.

(Scary lookin' guy, though).

Are you threatening me?


(OK, I`m done here)

Russ

Cool, are we posting pics?

Umm, Russ, while that was mildly amusing, I'm not so sure it's appropriate here.

Russ

LM,

Is that a modern bashing comment?

Russ, NCNE

lordmarcovan

Not at all. Mr. Jefferson is far nicer looking than the little animated guy you posted previously. And Mr. Jefferson's umm, delicate parts are not exposed.

Russ

Are you kidding? Look at the size of that nose!

Russ....now I think lord meant that Jefferson is too ancient (or that no coins allowed here). :-)

lordmarcovan

You missed the little animated gif of a guy doing some peepeeing on an ACG label, Oreville.

Funny, but a wee bit graphic for the forums.

He edited it out and replaced it with the much-more-dignified Mr. Jefferson.
