FAQ: How To Post Images On Toc

Some new members struggle with posting up images on the forums so here's a quick guide:

- First of all your image should be hosted on the Internet somewhere, the TOC gallery is available for subscribed members.

- Once the image is on right click it & select 'properties', copy the 'properties' URL address which should look something like this:

http://www.toyotaownersclub.com/gallery/albums/Misc/celica_5_webversion.jpg

- To place your image into a post click the 'IMG' code button at the top of the new topic page & paste in the URL from the image. It will look like this:

[img=http://www.toyotaownersclub.com/gallery/albums/Misc/celica_5_webversion.jpg]

But will appear in your text when you post the topic - e.g:

- Essentially as long as the Internet 'address' of your image is surrounded by these tags you'll be ok.

[IMG] (ADDRESS GOES HERE) [/IMG]

One thing to remember is to try not to post-up massive images in terms of size - as this will slow the site down, don't forget those people on 56k dial-up connections who will have to wait ages for an image to load!

Hope thats helpful.

Hi,

I have come to the conclusion that I must be soooooooooo thick, I have found a few posts on how to add a picture but I feel they must be in Russian because I no understand!!.

Can anyone with a lot of patience, explain it to me, in a manner that you would explain it to a 6 year old child.

I would appreciate anyones help.

Regards

Palavea
