Thought this topic could use an update.  It's changed since the original.

 

1. Click your user name in top right corner, then "Gallery"

2. Click "Upload"

3. Create a new album or select an existing one.  I am using an existing on for this tutorial.

    Repeat steps 5-7 for as many images as you want to upload at the same time.

Do you have to use the Gallery as the source of photos in a post?  Will it work if I upload a photo directly from my computer limiting the size, on another forum i use 500 pixels on the longest side and the image looks good?  On some other sites I notice that photos have been put up from photo bucket or some such site and then are no longer viewable after a period of time.

 

I'm not great on tech things.  In the album tutorial it states that you should  copy the BBCode and paste it where you want the photo.  Is the BBCode automatically attached to your image when it is added to your album?

Hi,

 

You can post pics hosted at an external site, by copying their web address and pasting after hitting the photo icon in the posting box (that can be found just down and to left of the smiley emoticon).  Gallery pics can be larger than 500 pix. Not sure of cap but might be 1000 or 1500 pixels wide.

 

regards
