Posting Pictures All Please Read.

[padi56]

All Mods were discussing how many new members we've been getting and he suggested that we might just have to cover the issue of posting up pictures of a sensitive nature, for the benefit of our new members.

Given the diversity of our motley crew here, the mods agreed a while back that pictures corresponding roughly to M(18) ratings or above can be posted, but the posting should be done in a manner respectful of everyone's sensibilities.

The solution we came up with was that these pictures should be posted as links instead of images, so that they would not show up when the page was opened, but anybody could click the link and view them if they so wished. Also, these pictures should be posted with some notification of their nature (e.g. "adult pic" or "cleavage pic" ).

No controversial images which may cause offense to the membership including any images which could be construed as racist, sexist, violent or pornographic. No gun, knife or miscellaneous weaponry images since we are a worldwide forum and many members are not comfortable with this type of material.

OK, so how do you post it as a link?

The easy way to do it is to click the "Insert link" button (circled in red below) and then to put the url in the space in the window that pops up.









The picture above can also be viewed by clicking the link: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...en/Linking.jpg

For the lazy people like myself, who prefer to type the html tags, use "url" instead of "img" in these tags, and there you go!

Better still just open a free account on say Imgur then upload picture to that site.The copy the forum code for that picture and just paste it in your post.
First step is to have your picture hosted on Imgur or any similar hosting site.

Next, as in the picture below, highlight the URL of the picture you want to post and copy the URL to your clip board.



Next, open up TRF and post a new thread or reply to a thread. In the text pane, write your comment and where you want the picture posting, copy the URL from the clip board. Remember to put [img] before the URL and [/img] after the URL as below.







I hope this helps.
