I upload pics to photobucket, and then photobucket will give you the code you need to insert the picture as a link, a thumbnail, or a full-size pic.

i think he needs help getting the pics from his phone to his pc... also you dont need to use photobucket here as you can upload images direct in case you didnt know.

How do you do this?

Also, could I send a picture from my phone to an email, and then use the picture from the email and post it here?

Directly below three buttons with Save, Preview and Submit, You'll see two tabs with Options and Upload Attachment. Click on the latter tab for uploading attachments. Do take note there are restrictions in image and file sizes, I tend to shrink my images to 25% depending on the resolution of the camera on the phone.

After the image has been uploaded, click Place Inline, and you're done. Note that attachments are listed in order from latest uploaded to earliest, as such Inlines start at 0 for the latest, 1 for the one before that, etc.

As for using online mail services for image hosting, that does not work. The [img] tags need direct links to the file in order to work, meaning they have to end in .jpg, .bmp, .gif and the like.

....WOW...Now Im really confused LOL!
Um....I have an I phone with sprint service. I have all available services on that damn thing so its nice and expensive.
The ole lady hadda have it ya know?
So yeah. Im still no closer to doing this. Im sorry I couldnt quite sift through to understand where to start. I was thinking I would need to send them from my cell to my e-mail and download from there some how but now Im reading that it dosent work.
Any other suggestions? I just want to put the pics I took with my cell phone on this thread and also post a few more on a seperate thread.
Thanks again. I appreciate all the help guys n gals!

This should be in general discussion. Also- have you checked your phone's manual?

I seriously hate comments like this ...

If you're using an iPhone there's no reason you can't just e-mail them to your computer, download them to your hard drive, then use a site like Photobucket to upload them. Photobucket then gives you the links to copy and paste the pics to here.

If your phone has internet access, it's fairly simple.
Ignore the attachment solution, as yes, it's already there, but doesn't always work.

Go to a website like Photobucket.com, where you can upload pictures to an account (which you'll have to create, it's free). Once they're uploaded, you can view them on Photobucket, in your Library.

Click on a picture, and you'll get a frame next to it with different codes.
The one you want is the one with [ img ] [/ img] around it.
Copy that, paste in a post, and there's your image!

If you don't have access via your phone, I would use the Bluetooth function.
Or, as you suggested, email the images to yourself, save them to your computer, then do the above with Photobucket.

Any clearer?

EUREKA!! I Think I got it! lol thanks guys for all the help! Truly appreciated!

Thu Jan 31, 2013 6:46 pm

....or maybe not. This is stupid difficult and it shouldnt be. Its not even fun anymore. That photo bucket place let me upload it or whatever and its giving me a few codes to the right of the screen in a grey oval but when I highlight the [IMG] code it dosent let me copy. It isnt even showing the whole code. it stops in the middle. Theres gotta be a way to view the whole code but I cant figure it out. ???

Thu Jan 31, 2013 6:46 pm

Glad to hear it... now lets see some photo magic man

Thu Jan 31, 2013 6:55 pm

listen, to make this a little more simple... just save the pics to your desktop, then when you post here just scroll down a bit and there is a tab to upload directly, no need for 3rd party sites

Thu Jan 31, 2013 7:01 pm

Oh o.k. I believe I know how to do that... Gimmie a sec and thanx bro.

Generally as soon as you click on the link it highlights and copies itself...

Megs - you said you have an iPhone, try the photo bucket app.

That was going to be my next suggestion since I am too spazed out to figure this out. :BANG_HEAD:

What is your e mail address?

Fri Feb 01, 2013 8:15 am

i included it in my last message: shuumi@aol.com or viometrix@gmail.com and it is in my contact me page incase for some reason it isnt showing here

Fri Feb 01, 2013 9:13 am

O.k buddy. Do you mind if I send you a few others? I want to see what you and others think of the way I have my seeker guns on their arms as I cannot stand the huge launchers.
I also have a slightly modifier voyager classics prime and megs I was hopin to get opinions on.
All i did was add smoke stacks to prime and a pistol barrel to megs back.
I think 3 things must be present in order to make a figure optimus.

1. smoke stacks on the shoulders. A lot of the newre o.p. figs have stacks on the back or none at all.ya gotta have em!

2. mouth guard. an optimus with a mouth is no optimus I.M.O. Ive seen a few o.p. figs with a mouth. Big no no!

3.Windshields on his chest. So far Ive not seen an o.p. without them So I guess the people creating the figures agree with me on this one.
