I use imgbb it works better AND you can click on the pictures to geta cursor and click again to upload a higher resolution picture to view. Instructions:

Enter imgbb in the internet search box or

This is a web site hosting pictures.

Click the start uploading button

It will bring up pictures on your computer (key is pictures need to be saved to the computer)

Click on the picture you want

It will show in the IMGBB

Click upload

Select under embed codes “BB code full linked”

Below that it will show the link and over to the right is a box for “copy”

Click on copy "copies the code"

Go to your post and past the code in the post box where you want it

When you save the post the picture should pop up

Each time I upload a picture I close the imgbb and open a new one because I don’t have an account but you can also open an account.

We working on an issue with posting pictures. Right now it will only post as a link.

Was trying to see if I could resize a picture from my computer w/o using a third party site. I've been able to post photos on other forums w/o resizing them.

Edit:I managed to do it by editing the post and clicking on something. Problem is I can't do it again in a new post lol

Was missing a crucial step listed in the first post of this thread

This must be your son's new Yamaha. Wow. NICE!!!

I use GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program). It is free, and has all of the useful filters and image processing tools that photoshop has. But I gave up on Adobe LONG ago since they figured out a way to prevent me from running my legitimate Photoshop license. They want an annual subscription now.

GIMP is nice. I take nice high rez photos with my Panasonic DMC-FZ28 or my Motorola phone, then transfer them to my computer (USB).
Then,
-open in GIMP and enhance the image (contrast, brightness, color balance, etc). These options are under the "Color" pull down menu. You can "undo" mistakes and redo the modifications
-there is a crop tool that you can use to eliminate border and just work with the part of the image you want to.
-resize the image for posting. I have found that 150 pixels per inch and 3 or 4 inches wide gets under the max image size for his forum (image pull down- "scale image")
Use the export tool to create a JPG or PNG (dozens of file types available), and the image it ready for posting:

I found this bozo on the internet. :tup:

Images take LOTS of space on a server. I totally understand the limitations, and work within them.

Hey! I resemble that remark. :lmao:

It's for my grandson. This is what it looked lke the night I drug it home and gave it a quick cleaning...

The carb bowl looked like it had green mold in it :ohno:. A few rounds of soaking the carb in the sonic cleaner got it flowing fuel again. I figured it belongs on here. Says "Made in China" on the bottom of the engine cover.

Testing how to upload pictures.

That's how mine look when I do it. For some reason, some people get a link but no thumbnail in the post. Maybe it is the JPG format.

Trying to post a pic of the new toy.
