FlyerTalk Forums Expert How-Tos and Guides
Last edit by: gfunkdave
I have copied the first post in this thread to this wiki so anyone can edit it.

************************************************** *******
A few people have asked in various threads, and I though that this might be a good opportunity to have some instructions for the various image hosting services out there on how to present their images on the TPF forum. I'm going to include the couple responses I've already drafted, but if people have info for ones I haven't included feel free to suggest the provider to me and/or write up the instructions.

S.
And, once you've decided to post your images on FlyerTalk, here are a couple decent threads to share on:
If you're having trouble posting images and cannot seem to figure out why they aren't showing up in the post, make sure to check your profile settings. There is an option to display images or not, and that may be the source of the problems. To get to the setting, click on the My FlyerTalk link, then on the Edit Options link. On that page scroll down and make sure that the check box is selected next to the option "Show Images (including attached images and images in [IMG] code)" and save the settings. Hopefully that will fix things.

Update:
Just wanted to add a welcome to folks who are coming over to this thread from some of the other fora that recently had photo embedding enabled. If you're having any problems or want to include details about a new hosting service please feel free to post in this thread and/or PM me.

I think wjin did. Problem appears to be a permissions one as when I try to load that photo from the URL directly it is also blocked.

Google will let you set photos as public or private. It needs to be public to share here.

Ah I see, I didn't realize that, thanks. Let me try it again.

It is pixelated because it is such a tiny image. 60x100 is roughly the same as a standard icon. It can never be enlarged enough to make a decent display image.

That's a link to a webpage, not an image. The image URL is http://gallery.flyertalk.com/gallery/albums/album445/IMG_9199.sized.jpg. To display it use [img]http://gallery.flyertalk.com/gallery/albums/album445/IMG_9199.sized.jpg[/img]

Don't worry, I was playing about with the FT photo hosting due to Photobucket throwing their toys out of the pram this week.

After most of the weekend I have finally managed to get Imgur to play ball when copying BB code on the iPad. For some reason Flickr will not allow you to copy code on the their website through an iPad and their app only shows a web link.
