hey from the ghetto in ca.

cool site .hey i,m kinda new to computers can anyone explain how to post
photos that i have on the computer .i would like to show off my low budget swinger .but to me tuning ho
lleys is way simpler than this damn laptop thanks to all of you guys pictures are in the gallery

A few ways of doing it.....most common ways would be ..... #1. open your photo in a photo editing software such as microsoft paint and downsize the image to about 30%ish of its original size and then save it to your computer and upload it.....or #2 you can do the same thing but instead of downsizing it in percentage you can recent the image frame size....I think fabo requires 640x480 image size.....and then save it......if you want to make sure it is the right size (KB's) you can go to the saved image and right click the file and click properties and it will tell you its "KB" size.....your looking to get it to 122KB's and under with a frame size of 640x480 for it to work......at which time when you are done typing out a post on fabo you can scroll down to manage attachments and add that file.

OR #3. The easiest way to add pictures (I would say)....is go to www.photobucket.com and make an account (its free) and then click the "upload image button" and find the picture file you want to load and when it is finished loading ...you will see like 4 or 5 box's under or to the side of the pictures you loaded (example.....a box email and IM, another that says Direct link another that says HTML code and another that says IMG code)
In each of those box's is a specific code for the picture you uploaded.

you will want to copy the code in the "IMG CODE" box.
then all you do is paste that code into the box you use to type your message here on fabo! .....it will automatically copy the code when you click it.....and to paste it in the forum you will need to right click and click paste.

sorry for the long message I just figured I would give you some detailed options,hope that helps!

AND WELCOME TO FABO!

When I take pic from cam the 1st thing I do is "EDIT" pic to 75% original size to let FABO server take it easier. Usually file size somewhere around 750KB.:read2:

Then when writing your post, see the button with the paperclip above?
Hit that, it will pop up a window that has 10 spots to brouse, hit the top 1st button.
Then you will pick the pic from your computer you want to use, highlight it, then hit the "OPEN" button. If you're doing all 10 pics (WE LIKE THAT) do it 9 more times before this next step.
Got all ten broused and file names showing in the little windows? Well hit the download button and wait. If your file sizes are small enough it will accept load in about 2 mins. You will see type that says: Files downloading please wait.......
Then they all pop in and you "preview post" when approved by you, hit the submit button!:cheers: If they don't and file size too big the window will tell you about it and you can either delete or go back, rework size, and re-load untill ya got all 10!

You'll get it soon enough and there is more than 1 way to skin cat (sorry PITA just an old saying! Do not harm any kitties!!)

You can try each suggestion untill you find the one that works for your computer/camera/set up and your ease of use.
GOOD LUCK and Welcome!8)
