HOW TO POST A PICTURE
Posted: Sun Jan 13, 2008 3:56 pmSince there has been lots of people asking "how to I post a picture for entry to 5% club" here is a little guide.
1. take picture
2. transfer picture to your computer (Desktop/Laptop whatever)
"now the bit folks don't understand" -
3. find an imagehost service - some people use photobucket, others use imageshack... here's a fav. of mine - http://www.b3tards.com/ (note: you need to make a password first)
Open your chosen imagehost in a new browser window or tab. [if your confused at this point, go get the kids to help]
4. Locate and Upload your picture to the host and Copy (highlight and ctrl+c) the code between the <img> tags - for example - "http://www.b3tards.com/u/2d13d35493f38e5b84e6/4a.jpg"
5. Sitting on your 'clipboard' is the photo location

6. Go to 'Private messages' in your 'User Control Panel', click on 'New PM', select 'Gatekeeper' from the groups at the top right, and 'Add'.
7. In the message window - click the button with Img this will paste the start of an image tag
8. Click the Preview button at the bottom of the message page and the page will refresh with a preview at the top.
9. Once you're happy with the message click Submit
Note: Your image must contain a legible copy of your user name on a slip of paper.
Gimme a few months and I might eventually join the 5% Club
edit: spelling mistake.. typical me.
