George, create you an account from a third party photo library for free such as photobucket.com which i highly recommend.
You can create various folders there and upload your various woodworking pictures there accordingly. You will be given the opportunity to set your pictures there to either private or public. This doesn't affect the viewing capabilities when placed on ncwoodworker but prevents or allows persons for viewing those photos there on photobucket.
Once you have those photos uploaded into their appropriate folders, like you desire them to be, open another browser and log on to your ncwoodworker account.
- once you have both tabs opened in you browser
- start a new thread here on nc woodworker
- flunctuate between the tabs in the browser
- find your photo in photobucket that you want to post up here
- click on the IMG code for that photo
- copy it and paste that code into the white text box for your new thread
Please note you do not need to use any of the tool buttons located above 'this white text box' when composing and pasting these new image codes onto the text box
That will most often just create problems. I would suggest never moving the pictures around in photobucket once you have them loaded there for if you do it will surely break the links in your threads here on nc woodworker.
Thus the reasoning behind my suggestion earlier to make several different folders for your projects and such there on photobucket.com. Once you upload them into a select folder and have placed copies of them on the forum here, leave them alone.
I have posted pictures in this manner for years and have never experienced any difficulties in uploads, broken links, etc; As a matter of fact, i have pictures that have been inserted about 4-5 years ago and they are still active in the forums, as i have never had any mishaps or trouble with photobucket.com
Hope this helps, Chris
