It appears that some of our members are still not quite sure how to post photos here?


So here's how to do it using Photobucket.


Open an account with 'Photobucket': http://photobucket.com/ the basic service is free and it's easy to use.

Upload your photos to your new Photobucket album, preferably at no more than 1024 x768 image size, (the procedure has changed, so select "Upload now", then select "Customize your upload options" select the 1024 size and "Save") otherwise any oversized images posted on the Access Norton forum will be cropped automatically to fit the Access Norton forum page size, although forum users who have wide monitor screens may be able to see images larger than 1000 wide?




How to insert a photo, or photos, directly into your message from your Photobucket album:

Select a photo from your album by copying its individual "Img Code" address line, which should show next to the photo, by left clicking on the IMG code box (it should highlight), then right click, and >copy.

Place your cursor over the album photo you want to post into a message, and then "copy" (right click>copy) the "IMG code" URL from the drop down menu.

Left click at the place in your forum message where you want the photo to show, then "paste" (right click>paste) the IMG code directly into your forum message, the IMG code line should then show as a line of text in your message beginning with "[img]"%20and%20ending%20with%20"[/img]".

There's no need to use the message box 'image' tags (Img button) if the Photobucket IMG Code is used.


Repeat for every additional photo, using the photo's own Img Code line each time. Don't copy anything from your browser's address box.

Please don't place the photo Img codes directly at the end of another, always insert the next one above or below the last one in the order you want the photos to show, leaving at least one clear line space between each Img code line see example below;-
_____________________

Right
[img].................code..................[/img]

[img]................code..................[/img]

[img].................code..................[/img]


Wrong
[img].................code..................[/img][img].................code..................[/img][img]
................. code..................[/img]

__________________

Avoid pasting Img codes directly into, or at the end of, your message text, always insert the photo Img on a new line

Finally...Please use the 'Preview' button to check that multiple photos display in a vertical sequence in your message before posting.


If you get it wrong, please try to use your message Edit facility to correct it, but don't worry too much, as the moderator can usually correct certain photo posting errors.
