How to post pictures

[DrinkSmokeGolf]

There are three ways to post photos to the forum.

 

1. Host the file somewhere else on the Internet

 

This is the preferred method as it saves on server space and bandwidth.

 

First, upload your photo somewhere to the internet. I like Flickr.com because they give you 1TB of free storage. Just sign up for a free account and then go to www.flickr.com/upload

 

Once your photo is uploaded, click on your photo on Flickr and then on this:

 

 

Now click the size you want and then right click on the photo and select "Copy Image URL"

 

 

Now come back to the forum, and click on this in your post:

 

 

Then hit ctrl -v (PC) or cmd-v (MAC) to paste the link then click OK.

2. Upload the photo to the CCF Gallery

This is a cool way of posting pics as it allows others to rate your photos!

 

First, click on Gallery:

 

 

Now click on Upload:

 

 

Now Create a New Album, or select one of your old albums

 

 

Fill in your album info

 

 

Now Choose Files

 

 

Select the file(s) from your hard drive you would like to upload. Click Review & Publish, Finish & Publish

 

 

Now come back to the forum and click on "My Media"

 

 

Select the Gallery Pics you would like to show in the thread and click Finished

3. Upload the photo to the forum

 

This is probably the easiest way but it doesn't have the benefit of people being able to rate your pics as seen in option #2

 

When replying to a topic click on "Choose Files"

 

 

 

 

 

Now select the files you would like to upload from your hard drive and click OK.

 

 

Now, click on "Add to Post"

Thank you. Now, is the Gallery method the one that displays images when the reader is not signed in?

The first and second method would allow guests to see the photos. The 3rd method would not allow guests to view the photos.

Shoot I always just do the #3 I guess from Tapatalk. Does that swallow up too much space

In Tapatalk, there is an option to use Tapatalk's servers to host the images. I would suggest doing that as it saves bandwidth/server space for me.

OK will do

What about CCF mobile? Having a hell of a time getting a photo up on mobile.
