Upload Your Photos
For Use On The message board
You've got a cool photo and you want to share it by
posting it on the stlbiking message board here's how
you do it quickly and at no cost. Upload it to
www.imgspot.com
Never uploaded a image
file before? It's pretty easy using this free
website.
Perfect for use when
you've got something to sell.

When you log onto
www.imgspot.com
the page will look like the graphic to the left
but larger.
Using the "browse"
button near the center select the image you want
to upload to their server and simply click the
button. Depending on the file size and your
Internet connection time will vary. |

The nest page will
show you the url of your image. You will need to
copy and paste this link to display your image
properly. There are several selections to choose
from.
For posting your
image on the stlbiking message board you should
select the link titled "Your Image in BB Code".
By using this link you DO NOT need to add
the link via the message board because it's
already written in the correct code. Pretty
slick right? |

Important notes
Once you close this browser you can not retrieve
the URL again. It's the downside of a free
service. So when you upload your image & copy
the url Do Not close this browser. Instead open
a new browser and navigate to the message board.
This way if you failed to copy it correctly the
page with list of urls is waiting for you to try
again.
Photo Size
It's very important to resize your photo so it
will appear correctly on the message board. My
guess is to try about 400 pixels in width. The
smaller file size will also increase download
time for those not using a broadband connection.
Of course if
you want to display the image in full size.
Example: Selling a bike! Instead of embedding
the image into your post just add the link. In
this case select "Your Image URL". |
