i am using the DIS web site for posting.. ok i got as far as getting my file downloaded.. now this is the tricky part for me how do you right click and copy.. and where does it go. and how do i post these on a post? i use the IMG thingie but alll i get is the fractured picture thingie even though i typed the right addy....
 
Joe,

Go into your webspace page and scroll down to where it says "Files in your Web" if your pic has been uploaded ok, you should see the name of your picture as a link, right? Click on it, and will open in a new browser window. If it looks ok, just highlight the text in the address bar, copy and paste the whole address from there and put that in your post using the IMG thingie.

I Hope that helps :)

Joe, now that I've looked, I've found the problem with your pic on one of your other test posts....

You'd added www.disboards.com to the beginning of it which is why it wouldn't work.

It is however, too big so you'll need to resize it, or you could just use this one instead if its for a post...

or this one if it's for a signature...

I used wdwino.com.. not disboards.com... So do you only type sites/myusername/filename.jpg to do it? thanks
 

I answered about the address bit on your other post Joe.

Ummm, what do you mean by copy/pasting onto a different site?

Penny :)
 
Disneymad... what does it mean to copy and paste?.. how and where do you paste it?
 
I am not that good with computer knowledge.. could someone walk me through it and explain very simply how to do it..... right now i got as far as getting my file downloaded here .... I see people who are trying to help and are posting my picture and i can't.. whhy? thank you for your help
 
Joe, I'll try to help.

The full URL of your large photo is:
"http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/disneymadtechie/wtclarge.jpg"

NOTE: The quotation marks are NOT part of the URL. They're here to keep as text in this post. Otherwise it would show as a link.

You should be able to get the URL by viewing the photo directly as stated by other posters, and then copying the URL address. OR, you can just write this down and type it in. In any case, you need the URL as shown above.

To get the photo to show in your post, simply start your post entering whatever text you want to say. When you want the photo to show, click on the IMG button that will show above your reply as being typed. When the pop-up menu shows, paste (or type in) the URL for your photo. Then click on OK.

Your photo will then look like this:
wtclarge.jpg


You can then continue to type more text, etc.

To put the photo into your signature, simply goto your preferences and add the appropriate URL in your signature block. This is a little different.

The URL for the small photo is "http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/disneymadtechie/wtcsmall.jpg" You'll either need to copy this or write it down so you can type it in.

To put into your signature, go to User CP, then go to User Profile. Find the signature block section. There enter this expression:

(img src="http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/disneymadtechie/wtcsmall.jpg")

NOTE: Do not enter any carriage returns. Type everything on one line. It only looks like it's on two lines above, but that is only the program wrapping the text. There should be only a single space between "img" and "src="

2nd, Do NOT use the left and right "(" ")" brackets as shown above. I used those here simply to make the browser show the code instead of showing the photo. REPLACE the "(" bracket with a "<" and replace the right bracket with a ">" when you enter the code. (Without the quotes). However, be sure you do keep the quotes around the URL as shown.

The photo should then show in your signatures
 
still nothing.. i did everything that everyone is telling me....
