How to Post Images on BansheeHQ

[HammerShee99]

This will make selling items on BansheeHQ a bit easier for you, since it'll save you the time of emailing pics to everyone who's interested. Here's the procedure:

 

1. If you don't already have one, create a PhotoBucket account. This will allow you to upload your pictures to your account and hotlink directly to them.

 

 

2. Click on the "Choose Files" button, which will bring up a file menu. Find the picture that you want to upload to your account, double click it, and it will upload to your account.

 

 

3. Scroll down the page and you will see the images that you have uploaded to your account, and underneath those pictures several image codes will be listed. For BansheeHQ, you will be using the IMG Code tag. Click in the box with the code, and it will be highlighted. Then right click and click on Copy.

 

 

5. Preview your post and make sure the image is posted properly. If you see your picture in the preview window, you're done! If not, check to make sure the code is all correct (check the URL and make sure you copied the entire tag).

 

--------------------------------------------------------------

 

That's how it's done from PhotoBucket. If you have the file uploaded somewhere else, the procedure is just as simple. There are two ways to go about this:

 

1. Click on the "Insert Image" button above the text field for your post.

 

 

2. If you're using IE (no, I'm not going to try and convince you to switch to a different browser) you might see something like this:

 

 

3. Click on the yellow bar, then click "Temporarily Allow Scripted Windows".

 

4. Click on the Insert Image button again (yeah, I know, it's a bit of an annoyance).

 

6. Type or paste the URL of the image you're using into the script window.

 

 

The other way you can do it is a bit simpler... just type (img) then copy or type the URL of your image, then end it with (/img) (replace the parenthesis with brackets). Again, when you're done it should look something like this:

 

 

You can preview the post to make sure your pic shows up before you post it. If you see your pic in the preview, you're good to go!

 

Hopefully I've covered just about everything here. Sorry if some of the steps I've listed are a bit obvious. If anybody else has anything to add, feel free to chime in.

Good post!

 

I see the "I don't know how to post images" come up a lot when people are selling things, and things of that nature.

Whoops, I goofed one of the tags in my post... maybe somebody needs to teach me how to do it. :teehee:

 

Mods, if one of you guys catches this, I need to have the tag for the image under step 3 fixed. the last tag needs to be switched to an img tag.
