You need to have your pictures hosted online somewhere first. I use www.villagephotos.com it's basic service is free or for around $5 a month your get around 120mb daily limit. Everytime your photo is viewed it takes up bandwidth and depending on how many pics you have posted and how many
people look at your picture each day will determine your used bandwidth. I haven't come close to the 120mb daily limit yet with pics and avatars all over different sites. Try their free service first though, you may not need anymore than that.

Once your signed up it has an "upload new photos" option. Simply point it to the pics on your computer then send them to
your page on villagephotos. Once the pics are uploaded it will show a url (link) under each pic you have uploaded. Now all you have to do to post them is click on the "copy url" button under whatever you pic you want then go to your post and type in
[i m g] then right click and paste the url link, then type [/ i m g]
you have to leave out the spaces in between the letters img, I had to put them in there to get the html tag (that's the img with the brackets around it) to show up. It sounds drawn out until you actually do it. Just upload, copy url and paste and your done.

Do i have to do that villagephotos.com in order to put my pics on this .com. thanks

I would imagine so, as it would cost exriders quite a bit of money in bandwidth if they hosted everyones pics themselves. It only takes a few minutes to sign up and upload pics and they have resizing tools and stuff that come with the free webspace. One other note: I always uncheck the "automatically optimize jpeg" box and also always choose "no compression" when uploading new pics.

This all seems so confusing.

And does that www.villagephotos.com cost any money to put pictures on there. Thanks for ur help.

Posted by: Livin4Real

no, their basic service is free. Just sign up, click on upload new pics, then copy url, then paste it into your post and your done

Posted by: RAPTOR80RACR990

YEA GUYS, MY DIGITAL CAMERA CAME WITH A CD TO DOWNLOAD. ONCE ITS DONE ALL I DO IS PLUG THE CAMERA INTO THE FRONT OF THE COMPUTER AND TURN IT ON. IT WALKS YOU THROUGH A COUPLE EASY STEPS AND TAKES ABOUT A MINUTE.THEN IT WILL SAVE IT IN MY PICTURE FILE. WHEN YOU POST REPLY OR MAKE A NEW THREAD SIMPLY DOUBLE CLICK ON THE BROWSE BUTTON IT WILL TAKE YOU STRAIGHT TO YOUR FOLDERS,GO TO PICTURE FILE AND DOUBLE CLICK ON THE PICTURE YOU WANT. BUT I CANT FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET MORE THAN ONE PICTURE AT A TIME. ONCE YOU DO IT A COUPLE TIMES IT WILL ONLY TAKE YOU ABOUT A MINUTE. THATS HOW I DO IT.
GET THEM ON THERE SO I CAN SEE THOSE MINI QUADS!!!

THANKS FOR THE REPLY'S ON MY SONS QUAD.

Posted by: RAPTOR80RACR990

Grafton is like close to the top of the state so i would say somewhere around 3 hours probably. I tried to post a pic of my quad and it said you have attempted to upload invalid type of attachment. i cant figure this out.

Not all sites have the option to upload your pics so it's easier just to set up the villagephotos account and post them that way. Then you can always delete the photo from your album on villagephotos and it will delete the pic in your posts in case you decide you don't want the pic shown to everyone anymore.

Also your pics need to be in jpeg (.jpg) or gif (.gif) format for most sites as well as villagephotos.
