First, your picture has to be "hosted" up on the Internet somewhere. There are lots of free places to host your photos. Here are some of the more popular ones:
http://www.photobucket.com (http://www.photobucket.com)
http://www.flickr.com (http://www.flickr.com)
Note: You can also upload your photos to the "GALLERY" here at FJowners.com. Once you log-in, you will see the GALLERY button with the other buttons near the top of the website. Once you have uploaded a pic here at FJowners.com, click on the pic to make it larger. Then scroll down and you will see "Image Linking Codes - Direct Link". That is your "Picture URL" to be used in the following step.
No matter where on the internet your picture is, you need to get the "Picture URL" to that photo. This is the actual link that pulls up the photo, and NOTHING BUT THE PHOTO in your web browser.
Once you have the "Picture URL" you simply need to paste it between the Image Tag like this:
This is the picture URL: http://fjowners.com/gallery/168_10_04_09_9_42_33.jpeg
This is the Image tag:
[img][/img]
You put it between the ][ brackets like this:
[img]http://fjowners.com/gallery/168_10_04_09_9_42_33.jpeg[/img]
You get the Image tag by clicking on the square button that is below the Italic "I" up above. Second row, second button from the left.
[img]http://fjowners.com/gallery/168_10_04_09_9_42_33.jpeg[/img]
results in:
(http://fjowners.com/gallery/168_10_04_09_9_42_33.jpeg)
for the newbs who may get confused the first couple of times, heres an illustrated "how to"
(http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-forum/img.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)
See where the smiley pops out between the [img} and {/img]? Thats where you paste the weblink of your picture. Oh and if you arent sure if you have copied th correct weblink, it should say ".jpeg", ".gif" or any other picture format and the end of its title. To get the correct link for a picture, right click it and click on "open link"(windows users) then copy the code at the top.
Hope that makes it easier for everybody new. Oh and when selling parts/ bikes, ect, describing problems with your bike(such as the route of the problem) or if you just generally wanna show off your ride(which most of us wouldnt mind seeing) please include a picture(s) in your thread
Oh and please dont post nudity (even if its of your a smoking hot model on YOUR bike) as much as some of us would like it (like Klavdy, me and the rest of the forum members) there are thousands of sites on the net where you can download any variation of it (i personally have a few bookmarked sites though mostly soft-core stuff thanks to my work site) :pardon:
PS youre more than welcome to email such pictures to members adresses (pending you get their formal approval) :biggrin:
Ok all. Im all over this. thanks .
can really get a good pic of shock.dark here now.will take more pics tomorow of bike on side stand and whatever else you think i need to(http://[url=http://s1110.photobucket.com/user/skikman/media/DSCF4747.jpg.html%5D%5BIMG%5Dhttp://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h455/skikman/DSCF4747.jpg)[/URL][/img] (http://)(http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h455/skikman/DSCF4750.jpg) (http://s1110.photobucket.com/user/skikman/media/DSCF4750.jpg.html) (http://[url=http://s1110.photobucket.com/user/skikman/media/DSCF4749.jpg.html%5D%5BIMG%5Dhttp://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h455/skikman/DSCF4749.jpg)[/URL][/img]
ok I cant work it out, im not actually trying to post a picture in a post, im just trying to get my avatar picture up.
what I think ive don't is tried to upload a picture directly from my computer to the online avatar, but from what I can gather the site software didn't like this, but it also wont let me delete the little box with an x in it that should be a pic of my bike.
it seems I need to upload to the gallery section of the site before I can use one these pics as my avatar from my gallery, ive uploaded pics into the gallery, but the problem seems to be that I cant seem to delete that little box masquerading as my avatar, if I can delete this little box, I think I should be able to upload a pic from my gallery.
so I guess my question is, who do I speak to get the little box deleted, so I can replace it with a pic of my bike for my avatar?
and also, I don't seem to able to delete pics from my gallery either, so, same question for this?
any help will be appreciated fella's (and ladies if we have any on board).
cheers
k
ok I worked it out, the problem seemed to be that my pics were to big, weirdly the little box had disappeared but came back again when I tried to use what I know is a small pic from my gallery, any way the avatar bit seems to be sorted now.
but I still cant seem to delete pics from my gallery, assistance with this problem would still be appreciated, cheers.
Hi all,,,
For those who find the photo attach to post ordeal somewhat of a PITA,,,there's a simpler way, it goes like this; When you open the reply window, look in the second row of icons, just above all the smiley things, the second icon from the left will say insert image,when you put the cursor on it. Click it, then scroll down just below the script panel, click on the big blue letters that sayAdditional Options.
Click on Browseand choose a picture right out of your own files.
That's how I do it.
PS, Marsh, I hope I haven't done a bad thing here,,
looks like this
closer view...
OK, so I've finally found out how to load pictures into the gallery - and now how to load them up with the right "orientation", so I can do it correctly for future pictures and posts.
BUT - I haven't found a way to correct the images in my previous post, when the post doesn't have a "modify" option by I also can't seem to see a way to delete the original incorrect orientation photo's from the gallery.
Hopefully someone help with instructions for this.
Cheers all.

'Modify' is available for a short period after creation of the post. Afterwards only the moderators can do it.
Thanks Balky - looks like I'm in the hands of the Mods for that post then, but .at least with your help I can now sort them for myself in the future :good2:

Click on the 'profile' box above the RPM banner on the main page. On the left click on Forum Profile information. A screen will pop up and the upper part will look like this. Click on the 'choose file' bubble and you can grab a photo from your pictures files on your computer or you gallery photos on you phone. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on save.
Fred
Thanks Fred...
Yep... I have done that... 4 times... and nothing...
The only thing is that you said "click on save"... the only button I have at the bottom right is "Change Profile"... is that the one?
Besides that.... I have done as you described... and nothing...
Is there a size limit on the pic? I have resized a few times also...
Cheers
I think to get my picture to post to my profile, I had to add it into the FJ Owners gallery. Have you tried that?

Yes there is a size limit. As Ryan commented, the easiest way to get a photo that is too large of a file to load is to upload it into the gallery first
Fred
Thank you Ryan and Fred... yes.. that worked...
Cheers
:hi:
so... i guess i left it more than 30 mins... so i cant delete one of the pics... Admin please help... can you get rid of the larger pic in my gallery please...
:Facepalm:
I don't think us regular moderators have that kind of access. But I think you can delete any image in your gallery. I can delete from My Gallery but not others, I just checked.
Oh ok... I have had a little dig around but I cant see how to remove from my gallery. any help would be great...
I noticed that because the pic im using is a Jpeg, it dont show up on the discussion board. It seems that png is needed for that...
Ill get there... sorry to be a pain in the you know what...
Cheers

Ribz,
I talked to my dad about this. Both he and I are unable to find a gallery under your user name. I did delete one of the two photos you posted on Dec 7. I deleted the one without the comment/description attached to it.
if that is the photo you wanted deleted, then that is complete. If not let me know via PM what & where I need to look for these photos.
Robert
Hi ya Robert... thanks for that..
I did see that and thats fine... I just added another .png pic in my profile so all good. I add a pic in the FJ Bike Photo Gallery but thats ok to stay there..
Sorry to be a PITB...
Cheers
Pick your poison
Just an addendum to this thread - There have been many posts lately with sideways photos uploaded. I'm not certain about any smartphone brand other than the iPhone, but the iPhone is intended to take photos in landscape mode, particularly for photos being uploaded online. Any portrait mode photo will be rotated as though you were holding the phone incorrectly. Folks tend to use iPhones to take photos in portrait (vertically, with the home button at the bottom) for most pictures, unless the subject is wide. Any pictures taken in landscape mode (sideways with the home button on the right) should upload to the site correctly oriented.
Portrait vs Landscape:
FWIW, any photo editor can rotate pix as needed. You can Edit your post with the corrected pix. if needed.
"MS-Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" can rotate and save pix with one click of a screen-bottom icon.

how do you delete pics from your own gallery? I've looked and don't see an edit or delete icon.
5speed,
MS-Paint program, View/Rotate 90 degrees . . . Save.

I've run in to this issue on a goldwing forum I belong to as well. If you upload an image directly from your phone it posts it sideways. One work around I found (which is a PITA) is to save the picture on your desktop, rotate it, save it, rotate it back to the orientation you want, save it and upload it to your thread. I have a samsung phone..so this issue isn't iphone specific.
Okay..who flipped the switch in my gallery? I have edit,delete and unapprove tools now. :good2:
aaaand I don't have permission to use them. :cray:
