I'm about to post a thread with 15+ high resolution images in a few days. I think there is a limitation for attachments on this forum, so I need ways to work around that. What is the code again for posting images in URL's, and is there a way to set the size on this to improve the loading time of the thread? Some code examples would be great!

I know I've done this before, but I have not been able to find the right threads so far, and normal HTML code does not seems to work very well. Neither does the Image function on the toolbar.

You could open a free account at http://photobucket.com/. The service can create a thumbnail with a clickable link automatically.

For example:

The following "IMG for bulletin boards & forums: Clickable thumbnail" code...

Code: [Select]

[URL=http://s238.photobucket.com/albums/ff132/alexb2k/MC/?action=view&current=photobucket_code.png][IMG]http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff132/alexb2k/MC/th_photobucket_code.png[/IMG]

... creates this:


Click to enlarge.

I added the "Click to enlarge." line before the closing URL code.


Alternatively you can create and upload a separate smaller image in your preferred size and use a code like this:

Code: [Select]

[url=http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff132/alexb2k/MC/photobucket_code.png][IMG]http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff132/alexb2k/MC/photobucket_code-small.jpg[/IMG]

Nice. Thank you!

Might be a bit work to create smaller images if you're used to another service though. In those cases, is there a way to set the size in the code, or is that just for full HTML coding?

You can add a size code (SMF help link: http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Img), but that would only be a display size. It would not reduce the data amount and make the thread load faster.

A real JRiver fanboy would naturally use MC and JRiver's own pix01.com host (JimH's instructions: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=10029.msg280425#msg280425).

I just uploaded the same image file to a pix01 gallery: http://www.pix01.com/gallery/4AD73041-94E6-4810-80BE-EDB7F3274485/Images_for_Interact/index.html

Here is a code string that uses the automatically generated gallery images:

Code: [Select]
