I've had a couple requests for this lately and I couldn't find a good description anywhere so I thought at the least, I could bump one to the top.
Essentially, all you have to do is upload the image to the TDIClub's server then paste a link to it into your message. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click on photos in the task bar near the top of the forum threads. You'll need to log in using the same user name and password you would use in the forums.
2. To the right, above the search bar, click on upload photos. On this page you can go through each of the fields and label the image appropriately and/or place it in an appropriate album. You can create your own album if you have multiple images for the same topic.
3. The third field will allow you to browse (#1) to the image on your computer.
*NOTE* The allowable files on this server are jpg, jpeg, png, gif, mpeg, mpg, avi, asf, wmv, mov, pdf, doc,and xls. You aren't required to post images at a specific size but it's polite to others to keep them reasonable. The images I've posted here are 640 x 512 and around 50K +/- . Those are sizes that most people will be happy with. Once you get bigger than 800x600 the viewer will have to pan (slider bars) to see the whole image on a lot computers and a large file size means slow to load for dial-up users. Just use common sense. Obviously, if you're trying to show detail in a photo then it'll have to be larger but make a note in the title to warn others.
Once you've located the image on your hard drive and selected it, click Upload/Submit (#2).
4. The next page will allow you to add keywords so others can search and find your image if it's something they need as well. You don't have to put anything in here but it does help others out. Once you're happy with what you've put in these fields, hit Process.
5. You'll now be brought to the album where you uploaded the image to. If you click on your image now, it'll be brought up in full size and a link below it will allow you to copy it to your clipboard. It'll be in the [img ]http://yadda.yadda.yourimage here.whatever[/img ] format. Just paste that whole thing into your message and it'll post the image there. You don't need to click the image button in your post, it just puts the codes around what you type and those codes are already copied from before.
