could someone who uses muchos to post pictures here do a brief step by step on how to get piccies up on muchos and how to put them into avatars and into posted messages?


Anyone who doesn't know what Muchos is (www.muchos.co.uk) - its a free service that will host your pictures for you to use on the discussion board.

i just recently learnt how to add my photos.(with a bit of help). I found it confusing at first but as they say it's easy when you know how.

** just to to www.muchos.co.uk - once you have registered you can upload your photos. you will see a box where it says browse. when you click on this box you can pick out whatever photo you want to upload from your own files.

** once you have chosen the photo click on the upload box. this takes a few minutes. once your photo is uploaded, right click on it and you will see the properties of the photo.

** highlight the address and do a right click and do a cut. (as if you were cutting and pasting in word)

** go back to the discussion board to a add reply or new topic.

** on the top of the messge you will see code buttons. here you will find a box that says "img". open this box, right click, and do a paste.

** the address of your photo should appear in your message.

** hopefully your picture will be added.

best of luck niamh

Hi all,

how do you get more than one photo to appear?

if you mean when posting in this forum? ... click the "IMG" button for each image you want to insert, entering te NEW url to the image in each popup box that appears.

Just to mention that images have to be under 70K

[Batty]

I cant seem to post photos bigger than thumbnail size. i have tried the size button but it only affects the text. i cant see anything on petpages to enlarge the photo. can anyone point me in the right direction please B) B) i know its probably there but i cant see it.

Hi Batty,

If you open your photo in Paint under Start->Programs->Accessories, you can rersize it from there..

Click on Image->Stretch/Skew

In the Stretch Box, I usually resize mine from 100% to 50%.

Make sure and click File->SAVE AS and call it another name otherwise you will overwrite the original.

Right-click on the new pic and choose properties, here you will see the size. Sometimes you might have to go back to Paint and resize it by about another 10/20% to get it below 70k.

See how you get on and good luck.

Ingrid.

:( Oh dear Oh dear !! will I ever get the hang of this, you all sound so experienced, if I ever get a 'photo up on the board, I'm going to throw a party !
Tess

[Miss Daisy]

well your avatar counts as a 'a photo up on the board' so follow the same procedure for a photo in one of your messages... :D

[Tess]

Ah! but I didn't put that up, my computer wiz kid friend did, I'll get there in the end, watch this space!!

I've done exactly as said but can't seem to get it it keeps telling me that dynamic links are not allowed, what is this?

[Bea]

Same here. I keep getting the "dynamic links" message, too.
What does that mean? No flying ear piccies permitted ... LOL?

[nouggatti]

usually it means that you are hitting the img button too many times

can you post the addy of the pic and i will test putting it up?

hi ginastarr,
Looks like a bug in the muchos.co.uk website. Best thing to do is to email the administrators with the error you are getting. Also, I see in your username with muchos, that you have a space i.e. instead of having 'ginastarr' you have 'ginastarr '. Remove the space, I think this is what's causing the problem. When you created your account did you create it as 'ginastarr' or 'ginastarr ' ? If you created it as 'ginastarr ', try creating an account name without spaces in it, this should sort it.

Hope this helps, let us know here if it does not.

Good luck :highkick:
