How done i post large pictures in the body of my post without attaching it.

 

You need to use a free online picture hosting site, like Photobucket, or Imageshack, or lots of others. I use Photobucket. Upload your pictures to your Photobucket account. Drag and drop, or choose from your file folders on your PC. Once you have it up there, you click on it in the list of your pictures. Usually displayed in small thumbnail pictures along the bottom of the screen. To the right you will see different ways to reference the picture across the Internet depending on how you want to use it. All you have to do is highlight the link and copy it, as shown in the screen shot below. I use the IMG type link. Using the IMG (Image) link, I can simply click the Internet URL icon in my forum post (the world icon with the infinity symbol) and paste the IMG link when prompted for the file location and it allows the photo to look correct. I delete the "http://" that is automatically filed in the box where you put the link, and I just paste my link there. If you happen to use the Photo icon (which is the little yellow box with a mountain and sun icon), the Photobucket image link will give you an extra IMG on each end of you picture when displayed, since the image icon apparently adds that for you. Basic same steps with other free online photo sharing apps.

 

Thanks and it works!

 

Looks nice! Which Terrafirma lift did you go with 2" or 3"? What tires and size are you running? Is that a Baja rack?

 

Just FYI, once you post the pics, I viewer can click on the pics and see them as on your Photobucket page, and if pics you have there are not marked private, they can see the rest of your pics, hence how I saw your rack and asked about it. Your D2 looks good! Diff. guards need to be next on your list of upgrades

 

thanks Tony. I never knew how to do that either.

 

Roverwoody, As in your post above, if you remove the picture from the source location, (Photobucket) the link will show that the picture is no longer available. Also, just looking at the links you can choose on Photobucket that I noted above, if you want to choose the other link types and see what you get.

You can use the Edit feature and then Resize your picture on Photobucket and save it as "small pic" file name or whatever you want to name it, and then you can have a smaller picture as well as the one you uploaded in regular size. I have seen some users on forums post really big pictures that take up the entire screen, so depending on what the source photo site does to the picture, and what size the picture file is that you upload, can determine what size you get on the forum, at least that is what I have seen. Not an expert on this, so play with it a bit and see what kind of picture size you get. I have used Imageshack in the past, and it is similar.

 

BTW, to create private pictures on your Photobucket account, click at the top menu on Library, then Create Album. The album defaults to Public, but you can change it to Private. This allows you to have public albums and then private albums under your same Photobucket account.
