Image posting at Stridaforum.com in 5 steps

[size=150]How to share your own pictures, images here at Stridaforum:[/size]

1. Create your free account at an official picture hosting site, like

http://photobucket.com/

http://www.flickr.com/

2. Load up your pictures
(It might be possible, depending on your image hoster, that the pictures must be resized before the upload, therefore you might use any picture software, here is a freeware example with ~ 30 languages: http://irfanview.tuwien.ac.at/)

3. Please resize your pictures to 480 x 360 (360 x 480) pixel, otherwise they will be cropped at the forum!

Edited 21.10.2013
For unknown reasons does the forum software accept now picture widths of up to 550 pixel.
The height limit without cropping wasn’t figured out yet, but up to 550 px should work.

4. Copy the imagelink (img code), which was generated by your picture host.
For example, when using photobucket, the wanted link is available by hovering the cursor over the thumbnails in the preview:

5. Paste the image link in the posting window, it should look like this:

The preview button shows possible failures:

A. The picture is cropped (too big)
B. The second image link does not work (twice (img) bracketed)
C. The third image link shows no picture (not (img) bracketed)

Welcome! :mrgreen:

- You have just a few Strida related pics and uploading/resizing issues?

Then you might send me the images via email,
I’d resize, upload and post them for you (of course signed with your nickname :wink: )

  • or -
    send you the generated imagecodes to post the pics by yourself.
