How to Image Properly

[Quinton]

This should work regardless of whether you want to link via your signature or a post.

The proper way to link pictures is as follows, now this is assuming you've already uploaded the image to the Internet somewhere (note you can't link pictures on your computer unless it's running as a server which it more than likely is not doing).

let's assume you want to link this picture http://www.tehq.net/sm/biglol.gif which is located here: http://www.tehq.net/sm/biglol.gif

to link a picture, use: [IMG]http://www.tehq.net/sm/biglol.gif[/IMG]

which will show up as http://www.tehq.net/sm/biglol.gif

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

to link to a website use: [URL]http://www.fanbolt.com/forums[/URL]

which will show up as http://www.fanbolt.com/forums

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

to link specific text in a link use: [URL=http://www.fanbolt.com/forums]click this[/URL]

which will show up as click this (http://www.fanbolt.com/forums)

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

to use an image as a link to a site use:
[URL=http://www.fanbolt.com/forums][IMG]http://www.tehq.net/sm/biglol.gif[/IMG][/URL]

which will show up as http://www.tehq.net/sm/biglol.gif (http://www.fanbolt.com/forums) <- click the picture

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

also remember that if you reply to a post anyway other than using the quick reply box at the bottom of most threads, you should have access to the advanced buttons where you can just click on the various buttons to add links and pictures. Also if you just enter a website address into a post or signature or anywhere, it should automatically be turned into a link.

The main things are to remember to use
[IMG] and [/IMG] for images and
[URL] and [/URL] for links

I thought Emma already had a thing with all the codes somewheres... Il go looking.

Edited

Yep she does. Heres the link to the page with all this content Here (http://www.fanbolt.com/forums/misc.php?do=bbcode)

[Chloe]

Well, most people don't check the FAQ, they just post in here, because they know someone will be able to help them, so this is fine in here :)

[~Roger¤Davies~]

lol yep but hey atleast now people can come here and find out what all the VB codes are and what they do.

[Quinton]

This was actually for camyforever because she didn't know how to link stuff

[Chloe]

Well, you just helped a whole lot of members with this, because I ALWAYS get asked (not that I mind at all), so I stickied it :D

[PiCkLeS4dAwSoN]

Thank you so much, Quinton! That helped me a lot, although, I know how to link now, but you gave a very great description!

Hi. I had a question about the avatars. Is there absolutely no way to just use one from somewhere else? Are the ones offered the only ones available or what?

Alex

[Chloe]

Custom avatars aren't avaliable on Fanbolt, you have to use the avatars we offer. If there's a certain picture you want used or something, you can post it, or request some avatars in Avatar Requests, under Requests :)

[xx TrUE L0vE]

Question, does the picture you use have to be on a website?

[Chloe]

It has to be uploaded onto the internet in order to show up on the internet :)

[Jon]

If there's a picture you want as an avatar, I'd recommend making a photobucket account (It's free.) Then save the picture and upload it to the photobucket account. Then when you request to make an avatar out of the photo, you can just give them the link to where the photo is stored in the photobucket account.

im going to check that out i was woundering if you had your on avatar can you use it and how

[Chloe]

Fanbolt doesn't allow members to use custom avatars at the moment. It will, however be avaliable to members with a certain amount of posts :)

[Chloe]

I just posted it here (http://www.fanbolt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=921288&postcount=315) for you.

[Kaya]

um... how do you get a picure in your signature... i mean i know how to put it in.... just don't know where... or do i have to have 500 posts for this too? :?

[Centerfinn]

Your a register user you need to check your email and activate your account to get a signature

[Kaya]

right... i totaly forgot that *feels dumb*

[Centerfinn]

Its okay then you click on quick links, and then on edit signature:)

[BenBrazilianFan]

i don't know if it's the right place to ask, if not, sorry in advance...
I've reached my 500 posts and i'm dying to put a custom avatar.. however, i can't find the option on User CP, where to but the adress of the picture or something, it keeps showing to select an avatar from the list...
Please help me! Thanks!

[Chloe]

If you go to where you edit your avatar, and scroll down, the custom avatar option should be right under the FB avatar list :) If you're still having problems, let me know, it might be an account problem that can be fixed.

Thanks for answering... Yet, i checked the way you said, it isn't there... Maybe it's the account problem indeed... can you help me? Thanks!!!!:)

[Chloe]

I checked your account, and found the problem. You should be all set now! ;)
