This is a procedure that I have been developing for a little while on how to post pictures here in the Forum. Hope it is useful, and comments are always welcome.

HOW TO POST PICTURES IN FIATSPIDER.COM

Well that picture-posting thing sure is confusing. Took me forever to figure it out. Here is what I do:

First, you must post your pictures on photobucket.com or one of the similar competing websites. You can't post pics directly from your computer. So set up a free account there first. The instructions here reference photobucket.com.

Then in your FS.com post, look for the "Img" box at the top of the post, #9 from the left in the row of command icons.

Put the cursor where you want the pic to appear in the post (leave a few spaces after text is a good idea) and click the "Img" button/icon above.

Then go to the photobucket.com site (or competitor) and find your pic. Hover the cursor over the pic and a drop down menu will appear. Then click the "Direct Link" or similar button. In Photobucket, it will respond with a "copied" indication.

Go back to your FS.com post and make sure the cursor is EXACTLY in between the 2 Img boxes: [img](cursor%20in%20here)[/img] then right click and hit "paste" and the web link for the pic will show up in between the 2 img boxes. DON'T hit the IMG button a second time. MOVE your cursor out of the IMG info you just created before you hit enter.

Now when you post the post, the pic will be there!

Remember that if you delete the photobucket "master" pic, it will no longer appear in the posting here on FS.com

Also: there is a size limit to the pictures that can be displayed here, I think it is 750 pixels in width, someone correct me if I am wrong. So you may need to resize (typically downsize) the pics so that they fit properly and all of the pic is displayed and not cropped. What I do is really simple: I email the original picture to myself within AOL. AOL will automatically prompt you to see if you want the picture "optimized". Say "yes" and send this new pic to yourself. I then save it with a "small" addendum to the picture name and put this optimized picture up on photobucket. It works every single time like a charm.

your just the man i am looking for! i have a 2006 Mazda 3 and the windows will go down but wont go back up unless you control them from the drivers door. i saw online that they say to put the window down all the way and hold the button till it clicks and that resets them. but no luck. any ideas or tricks ?

thank you

700 pixel wide is about as big as you can go without the edge getting chopped off. I use Hosting Bytes 2.0!. I upload the picture. to the right of the picture is a bunch of sending possibilities, i copy the top line. then i go to this site, start a thread, move the curser in the window space and paste. this will show the IMG line. you can locate the curser to put text above or below it. You can hit the preview window to see what you have.

Ok thanks for the photo info!! And the mazda 3 sounds like it needs a master swich, the reprogramming is just for the auto controls, the one touch down feature ! ok lets see if the pic thing works and where do you post the img to have it under your profile name ?? thanks

Here are a couple tweaks I have in this process:
Before I download pics to my photobucket album, I copy them into a folder (from the dozens of pics I've taken of that part of the car), then open them with MS Office Picture Manager which allows me to crop and RESIZE them. I select the standard 800x600 but have noticed some of my pics get chopped off on here so I will start using 700 max. Then I upload them to photobucket.
To post them in a reply here I hover over the pic in photobucket until the drop down pops up, and then click on the bottom one, "IMAGE," and it changes to "copied". Then I simply paste that into my message wherever I want it since it already has the IMG tags in it. Maybe this is a little quicker for some of you.

Thanks for that, I will update the procedure. I have always had trouble re-sizing the photos easily, which is why I go the AOL route. Not very sophisticated though.
