How to add pictures to your posts...

[Bubba]

Ok followed your links, and i think i will have to take myself on a tutorial, pity there is no way (apart from the preview option) that one can, in some sort of experimental cyber playground, test everything.

If you really want to test stuff out there is a way.

Go to http://ukbouldering.net/board

It's a test installation of SMF 2.0 Beta which will be removed as soon as SMF 2.0 Final is released.

Just register and play.

I've not been to that test board for 4 months - imagine my surprise when I discover it's got 1700 topics posted, all linking to hardcore pr0n, gambling, etc :lol:

I'd obviously forgot to set the registration or captcha options up - I'm off to do some deleting.....

I'm off to check out some hardcore pr0n and gambling before it all disappears :lol:

Ooops, hold your horses - that was an old test installation i'd forgotten about - no wonder it was so full - the fuckers have been using it for a while.

Here is the test 2.0 installation: http://ukbouldering.net/forum/index.php (/forum not /board)

The whole ukbouldering.net site used to be password protected which is why i'd forgotten about it!

I'm deleting the whole forum in a second.

rm -rf board

Sometime I love Linux


* edit - there, all gone - so long pornsters

rm -rf /

^^^ Never, ever type that

I managed to delete some 20Gb of Breezeblock sets I thought I had rsync'd (i.e. mirrored) to an external hard-drive and then blithely went and used rm -rf ~/music/mixes/breezeblock/* only to find out a few days later I hadn't actually run the rsync command without removing the prented switch! Fortunately a mate had a copy of them all :

 

[Bubba]

Aye, that would be bad!

Gasp! SMF 2.0 RC 1 has just been released - time to upgrade that test board

Just read this

I'd just like to make the point, that backlinking to the page you found the picture from, is a very nice thing to add to a picture, and it's remarkably easy. It's already been described very well by Slackers so I won't go into it, but it's very easy

Updated the Wiki entry for Backlinking Flickr the Easy Way to reflect the changes that Flickr have made to their web-site interface (basically it negates the need to use Greasmonkey scripts as Flickr now provide BBcode to embed pictures from each and every page).

Any advice on how to upload photos from an iPad? Have a flickr account but it seems difficult to use from the ipad.

They are wonderous things for some stuff but utterly dump at other stuff

Open a web-browser, go to Flickr, sign-in, select "Upload", find files on iPad and upload them? :shrug:

Yup.

Get the tapatalk app.. Well worth the £1.50 or however much it is. makes reading the boards much easier than using the web interface. Easy to upload pics etc..

Where does tapatalk host the pictures for you?

 

[tomtom]

Here.... I press the image icon when replying to a post and I select from the album/camera roll etc..

Nope, tapatalk are hosting them on your behalf...

...and then embedding them.

I was pretty sure the UKB forum wasn't hosting them as it doesn't host anything beyond avtarts (although these days PDFs/images are hosted on the Wiki).

 

[tomtom]

Yes.. And..? You asked where they were being hosted and I showed you they were being hosted at tapatalk..

Otherwise as im sure you know, you enter a URL as per Normal, except the URL goes in a message box rather than as part of the text editor.. (Which I find a bit neater..). I did wonder why you asked.. Ah ok, you wondered if they were ukb'd.. No. Tapatalk also have a limit on how many pics you can upload.. So I just use if for the the odd one on my phone..

 

[slackline]

Yep, thats what was confusing me. I knew the forum didn't have a way of hosting pictures, so you're "Here" I read as meaning "They are hosted here" not "Here is an example for you to look at". :hug:

I guess not having a full keyboard to type with is one of the drawbacks of phones/tablets, which results in brevity when posting (at least I find it a hindrance when I'm posting from my phone).

Sorry, did not make myself clear. I can upload photos into Flickr, it's uploading them onto Ukb from Flickr.

 

[Drew]

You'll have to use (url)http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/01/21/qehyhu8u.jpg(/url) except square brackets like this . If in doubt click quote on Tomtom's post, to see what it comes up as.

@old cheese : ah ok, that's a piece of piss, see the ukbouldering site faq in the wiki,where there is a page that tells you how to ended pics to the forums, at the bottom it explains how to do this on Flickr hosted pics.

Basically though, above each pictures you upload is a "share" button, click on this and then the "html/bbcode" link, you want to then elect the size you want & bbcode (which if the technical name for the mark-up used on the forum), then copy & paste the text into your post.
