Instructions for showing pictures contained in the spoiler

 

 

 

There are two ways to post an image:

1) Load the graphic in the post or

2) Link to an image

 

-------------------------

To load the image in the post::

1) Click on "Switch to Full Reply Screen"

2) Enter the text of the post

3) Click on the "File Manager" button

4) A dialog box opens

5) Enter the caption of the image

6) Click "Choose File" to pick the image that you want to show

7) Click "Done adding files"

 

 

 

--------------------------

To link to the CAF or other image source

 

If you want to show an image in your thread and you are already hosting it somewhere, e.g., Facebook, Flickr, Tumblr, Photobucket, and the CAF site, you can use the appropriate BBC codes. It's really pretty easy.

 

 

Once you have the pictures hosted, it's pretty simple:

  • Go to the picture source, e.g., the CAF or your website
  • Right click on the image
  • Choose the "Copy Image URL"
  • In your CGC OA board post, choose "Switch to Full Reply Screen"
  • Choose the third icon from the left and follow the dialog box.

 

If you use the CAF thumbnails, you get smaller images that are easier on the reader.

 

See! It's easy if you have the image posted somewhere, e.g., like I said above: their own websites, CAF, Flickr, Photobucket, etc.

 

------

 

Once you do this, you'll see that you are embedding codes into your text message. The codes have a syntax like [] [/]. These are UBB codes and they are a simplified HTML tag.

 

You don't have to use the limited capabilities of the dialog box, you can type them in directly. Here's a link to a page on UBB codes: http://www.freebok.net/help/ubbcode.html

 

 

One of my favorite things to do is to not only show the image that I want, url, but also make it pickable, using '>, so that it goes to my site.

 

I've done this to this image of Superman below. If you click on it, it will take you to it in the CAF. Try it.

Here's the syntax required:

In this case,

They appear to be numbered prints.

 

Is that not okay? The thread is called "Art behind glass"

 

But not prints behind glass!

 

No harm showing them, at least you're getting an opinion as to what you've got.

 

It's art, just not original art.

There are a lot of prints and lithos throughout this thread. Nice prints Nick!

Thanks Captain! I was excited to finally get them up on the wall. I've been in the middle of a basement remodel that took longer than expected so they have been tucked away in a closet since November. :insane:
