how to post pictures on Speedtalk?

[dwilliams]

Okay, I *did* look for instructions, but apparently not in the right place.

I need to put some pictures in a message, but the message compose page doesn't have anything that looks like "upload pictures."

Would someone tell me how to do it?

You don't find "Upload pictures" because there's no such function here... Yet.

You have to have them on Photobucket, Imageshack or other hosting sites and just direct-link them into your message, then the photos will show here just fine.

Go to photobucket.com (or any other photo hoster) and sign up.

Upload you pic.

Copy and paste the address of that pic now on photobucket into your ST message using the "img" button to put brackets at the beginning and end of that address. You can highlight the address you just pasted and then hit the img button.

Viola!

Here's an example:
One of my pics on PB:
http://s209.photobucket.com/albums/bb25 ... g&newest=1

See the menu on the lower left? It's there to give you an easy way to copy and paste.

This is what you would copy:
"http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb25 ... utter5.jpg"

Now when you past that in your ST message, highlight it and hit the img button, you get:

BTW, on the example I just gave it didn't work at first with the ST "img" brackets so I used the photobucket ones. I swear that's happened before, beats me.

Imageshack hosts pics without having to create an account.

Upload or crosslink your file and copy the "direct link".

Paste it after here after clicking the the img button.
