How to Post a Picture or Signature

[endblink]

Welcome new people!

If you're already familiar with visiting Internet forums, much of this will not be new to you. However, if this is your first forum, and you're eager to learn how to link an image in your post, or to have an image signature after your posts, you've come to the right place!

---

-BASIC RULES FOR POSTING PICTURES-

• For a picture to be posted over an Internet forum, the picture must already be uploaded somewhere on the Internet. This means that a picture on your computer's hardrive cannot be posted directly onto the forum. You must upload your image to a server and link the image from said server.

What does this mean? This is our example image; WURD.JPG:

http://img61.exs.cx/img61/4936/wurd.jpg

Now, if I try to link wurd.jpg directly from my hardrive:

C:\My Documents\Pictures\wurd.jpg

We get this: C:\My Documents\Pictures\wurd.jpg Mmm... wonderfully sexy... black text.

Once again, this means that you MUST UPLOAD THE IMAGE TO A SERVER.

• With the new PHP coding used for OCR4's forums, certain image hosting solutions previously available to forum goers - such as AngelFire (http://angelfire.lycos.com/) and Geocities (http://geocities.yahoo.com/) - can no longer be used to host images. This means: DON'T TRY USING THEM. IT WON'T WORK.

• NEW (and much more reliable) image hosting solutions can be found at either PhotoBucket (http://www.photobucket.com/) (which seems to be the popular choice amongst OCR's forum goers) or ImageShack (http://www.imageshack.us/) (which is what I use and will use for the remainder of this FAQ). CHECK OUT THESE SITES, READ THEIR FAQS ON IMAGE HOSTING AND IMAGE UPLOADING, AND YOU'LL HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE HERE.

• BE CONSIDERATE TO OTHER FORUM GOERS. Try to keep the size of your image(s) down so that people who don't have cable or DSL internet access won't be waiting for two hours for your picture(s) to load. Also, be considerate of the DIMENSIONS of the image. We don't need a 1280x1024 image posted in the forums when a 500x400 image will do fine. An even better alternative is ImageShack's Post a Thumbnail option which allows you to post a clickable thumbnail to a larger image:

http://img61.exs.cx/img61/4936/wurd.th.jpg (http://img61.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img61&image=wurd.jpg)

---

-POSTING AN IMAGE IN A POST-

• You must have THE FULL URL ADDRESS where your image can be found.

Example using wurd.jpg:

http://img61.exs.cx/img61/4936/wurd.jpg

If you're remote linking an image from a website, you can often find the image URL here:

http://img64.exs.cx/img64/6421/url2.jpg

or under the image PROPERTIES:

http://img64.exs.cx/img64/2950/url3.jpg
(USING INTERNET EXPLORER IN WINDOWS: Simply RIGHT CLICK, and select Properties)

Services like ImageShack give you a forum usable URL when you upload an image to their server:

http://img64.exs.cx/img64/2985/url4.jpg

• Now, slap that puppy (copy and paste) into your post, and hit submit.

• MAKE SURE THAT YOUR URL IS IN-BETWEEN IMAGE TAGS:

[IMG]http://img61.exs.cx/img61/4936/wurd.jpg[/IMG]

http://img64.exs.cx/img64/7385/IMG.jpg

• MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO SPACES IN THE IMAGE TAGS.

If you leave spaces in the tags:
[img ]http://img61.exs.cx/img61/4936/wurd.jpg[ /img ]
All you'll see is this:

http://img61.exs.cx/img61/4936/wurd.jpg[ /img ]

• PRACTICE IMAGE POSTING IN THIS THREAD. Test here, because that's what this thread is for. Also, DO NOT USE MY EXAMPLE IMAGE(S); please post your own image so as not to kill the bandwidth on my example images in this FAQ. Thanks.

• Simple, eh? We're almost done too! Now that you know how to post an image in your post, let's try posting an image as our sig!

---

-POSTING AN IMAGE IN A SIGNATURE-

Great! Now that you've gotten the hang of posting a picture in a post, here's how you tack a pic in your sig:

• Right underneath Link (http://www.ocremix.org/images/template/ocr4_mascot1.jpg), you should see a line of text the reads:

Search - Members - Register - Profile - You have no new messages - Log out [ YourHandle ]

Found it? Good. Now click on Profile.

Your profile is broken into THREE sections:
[ A ] Registration Information
[ B ] Profile Information
[ C ] Preferences

Under [ B ] Profile Information, your last option, JUST BEFORE [C] Preferences, is your "Signature" option. To the right of that, more or less in the center of your screen, is a little white box.

• From there, simply copy and paste your URL within Image Tags. Therefore, to show wurd.jpg as a SIGNATURE, it should look like this:

http://img346.imageshack.us/img346/6117/ocrsigfaq4uj.jpg

• Scroll down, click "Submit", and you're done!

[ancsik]

great idea to make this thread endblink

but someones gonna need to bump it every few weeks so it dont get deleted, preferably someone who isnt doing it to boost post count by meager amounts

and id just like to add that you should keep the pic size down: A) because itll kill your bandwidth on free servers like geocities, and B) cause some 56kers dont like waiting around for content to load because of you (you people better not get pissed for sticking up for you...)

and pic size down also means no 62.5 million frame animations either, those are a whole lot bigger and just as evil to bandwidth and load times

[endblink]

Thanks, ancsik!

Excellent points:

1) The bigger the picture, the longer to load, the more bandwidth you use up. KEEP YOUR SIGNATURES SMALL. No one likes a sig that takes up four screens.

2) Bandwidth for huge sigs/multi pictured sigs not only cost you, it costs djp. The man is having a hard enough time as it is keeping this site running with the downloads, we shouldn't be costing him on the forums as well. BE RESPONSIBLE.

;)

[Dem]

Making this thread "sticky" or "announcement" and turning off Auto-Pruning in the Configuration should keep it up.

[SmockJoc]

Good job endblink! I've had a pic sig before but now that I want to make a new one I was wondering what to do for webspace. I'll give geocities a try with the .txt trick you mention.

Just remember, if you make a mistake in your post, it's a much better idea to http://remix.overclocked.org/phpBB2/templates/ocremix/images/lang_english/icon_edit.gif your post than it is to start a new one. ;)

[The Author]

Hey, I said that in the etiquette thread...

[Archaon]

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but perhaps it would be a better idea to keep these 'guide' threads as Stickies?

[The Author]

Well, its up to God/djpretzel to decide...

[Murmeli Walan]

I just told someone in Gen. Disc, so I probably should say it here...

If you want to save a image that's been posted on the forums (like my sexy sig, for example), just right click on the image and select "save picture as...". Then just select where on your harddrive you wanna save the pic to, and ta-da!

[endblink]

Sorry about the blatant bumping, just want to top up the new, revised versions of the Guidelines. ;)

Recently I have downloaded some Final Fantasy ReMixes. In paticular Acousic Fireworks, and decided to burn a new CD. The songs will not show up as a supported type in Adaptec, and It won't let me burn a CD because it was a .MP1 file. Anyone know whats going on?

OK, apparantly i DID do it right... thanks for the thread endblink!No problem. Except all we're seeing is a big Red X.

I took a look at your post. Here's your problem:
[img]http://www.geocities.com/dejectedpunks/mylogo.JPG[/img]
You have a geocities account. You need to CHANGE the file extention from JPG to TXT for us to see it.

The reason you can see it is because the picture's in you Internet Temporary Files Folder already.

Change the file extention, upload it BACK to your Geocities account and make sure your sig looks like this:

[endblink]

still have a problem, it place the jpg in their automatically, so id have to type .txt.jpg which i think is kind of rediculous, but if you say so ill have him try it out, one more thing, does it have to be capitalized :?: you put a capital in for everyoneNo.

The capitalization is simply for me to point out the error.

Okay, the problem now is that you have a new version of Windows. When the file is on your computer, is recognizes the ".jpg" extension and hides it. Hence, when you rename it, you have the "psycho.txt.jpg". It's now simply calling the jpg "psycho.txt"

Here's what you need to do:

-Open the folder with the file you wish to change
-Click on "Tools" in the Menu bar (NOTE: I'm being told Windows XP is "Tools", earlier versions of Windows might either be "Folder" or "View")
-Click "Folder Options"
-Select the "View" tab
-Under "Files and Folders", find an option that's called "Hide extentions for known file types".
-DE-SELECT it. (If there's a check in the box, remove it.)
-You should now be able to see your file extentions and be able to change them.
-To go back to your original setting, go back and RE-SELECT "Hide extentions for known file types".

this pic maybe just too damn big, or i can't do anything right, ive tried it all

[endblink]

txt brings up a nice screw job of notepad, gif is for moving pics only, so the only choice i have left is jpg, and we know it doesnt workListen to me.

You had it. It doesn't matter how it looks on your computer when you open it.

The bottom line is, the file IS a JPG which you've renamed to a TXT file for the sole purpose of using it on geocities.

Yes, when you rename the jpg as a txt file, it'll open Notepad and show you code. That's SUPPOSED to happen.

Upload the renamed file to your geocities account and try linking it to a post.

HERE, we'll be able to see the image as an image even though it's a TXT file. Try it here.

[The Author]

If you don't believe it, just right clic any picture shown here, see if its a .txt... if its not... well, then use the same server.

For a sig? It's slightly larger than mine and I feel mine's pushing it. You can try it out, see what people say. If you can bring it down a bit, the better, but if that's what you want, go for it.

The only way to find out is to "test drive" it. ;)

Because the pic is loaded in your temp meory, that's why...


did you rename both the file and the link to a .txt ?

[_excousa_]

Does my sig work? It works for me, but it might be because it's in my temp internet files.

(Also, if it works, is the sig too big? Should I make it smaller?)

http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/users/ea6b3384/bc/Yahoo!+Photo+Album/rikkuSPRAY---1.jpg?pfOvwP.A6dOr8OnFOkay. I get it.

You've got it in a Yahoo briefcase folder.

You probably used Netscape to copy the image location and cut and pasted it into your sig.

I forgot about Yahoo.

The reason we WERE able to see it but can't now is that Yahoo puts bans on remote linking. They change the address of your image every two hours or so. If you look at the image location NOW and compare it to the image location you have HERE, it more than likely will not match.

You can't use Yahoo if you want to remote link a file.

Post back here if you have any more problems.

[Sphire]

Hey, im new, thought id try to post an img.

um... am I supposed to UPLOAD it to geo cities as a .txt? ... cause it won't let me... I un-hid .gif and changed it to .txt.

[Murmeli Walan]

Ok, I see your problem. When you added the .txt extention, you typed in .TXT

Make the ".txt" lowercase, and it should fix your problem.

M'kay

So you found that nice picture and want to share it ith everyone...

What could be the harm from remote linking from SOMETHINGAWFUL.COM


DONT DO IT...

Many sites forbid remote linking. And its logical, seeing as you leach bandwidth that costs them money.

Somethingawful replaces remote links by... discusting pictures...

First I was was a CLOSE close-up of a penis covered in cum....

Recently there was a male senior citizen giving a blowjob to some guy.


Please, avoid remote linking from something awful, I recommend
"Right click, save as, and upload to your own web provider"


Thank You.

Trust us, you don't want to leech, especially not from Something Awful.

http://www.geocities.com/jesse_taub/signature1.txt boobiesHmm... it looks like you did everything right.

The only thing I can think of is that you exceeded your Geocities bandwith for now.

My only other suggestion is to make sure the file itself is all small caps. Also, make sure the file name is the right one.

[Vig]

http://www.geocities.com/jesse_taub/sig.txt see?

Go in your file manager in geocities, select the file and rename it
from sig.jpg to sig.txt

On a side note, it does look cool, but its a bit big I think.

i can try to editit down

[reelmojo]

Eureka! Now, for your info, that pic is from my Yahoo Group. It turns out that with Yahoo groups you don't have to use the .txt trick at all. the code for what I did there was...

[img]http://groups.yahoo.com/group/reelmojo/files/Spawns.gif[/img]
[url]http://groups.yahoo.com/group/reelmojo/files/Spawns.gif[/url]
[img]http://groups.yahoo.com/group/reelmojo/files/Spawns.txt[/img]
[url]http://groups.yahoo.com/group/reelmojo/files/Spawns.txt[/url]As you can see, the first one was the only one that worked. So with Yahoo Groups, just do it like any normal picture from any other website. This works whether its in the Files section (like the pic above), or the Photos section (like the pic below).
http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/groups/g_9174450/Fernandez...+pure+evil.gif?bcbUYU.AZ5wBM9TJ

However I must add, that if any of the above are Xs please tell me as I have heard of it working sometimes for the person who posted it and not for anyone else.
Turning my stupid little test into info for the masses!

[endblink]

Yahoo Groups are designed to prevent remote linking. They change the location of the image URL.

You'll see it here for about an hour, then you'll get the red X. Believe me. I've tried working around Yahoo. Not possible.

You'll see it here for about an hour, then you'll get the red X. Believe me. I've tried working around Yahoo. Not possible.
I see how they could do that to the one from the Photos section since they add all kinds of numbers and letters to the end of the filename... so that big picture of Fernandez might go away. But I know that if you have it in the Files section they don't change the location because I've linked to my songs that are located there more than once. However if you see a X in my sig then... d'oh, you're right. So if you do, again I'd like to know. Thanks.

Yeah... my bandwidth ran out because a lot of people were downloading Spawns of the Great Pumpkin. :D I switched it to my other Yahoo Group now though so it should be fine.

[endblink]

endblink...I need some help uploading a Sig and getting the pic smaller...

http://www.geocities.com/guardian_jumi/shattered_gundam0.jpg
Hmmm... did you read the first post with the instructions?

The problem isn't size, although I can't check it anyway. Your problem is that, as is stated a few times in this thread, you can't remote link JPGs from geocities.

You have to change the file extension on your computer to TXT, re-upload it to geocities and post again.

[Arkell Freui]

I don't mean to annoy you, but do I change the FILE name to "Shattered_Gundam0.txt" or change the application it is run under. I have Windows XP and the file name for pics doesn't include the extension. What do I do?


:puppyeyes:

[Norfair Ghost]

I just changed mine on geocities. It has an option to change the file name.

[endblink]

I don't mean to annoy you,Hey, man. No worries. You're not annoying me at all. This is the Help Forum. I'm here to help you.;)
but do I change the FILE name to "Shattered_Gundam0.txt" or change the application it is run under. I have Windows XP and the file name for pics doesn't include the extension. What do I do?I would suggest changing it on your computer first, and reloading it to geocites. The reason you can't see the file extention is because your computer is set to "Hide Known File Types".

Different version of windows do it differently, but the basic way to change this is to:

-Open the folder with the file you wish to change
-Click on "Tools" in the Menu bar (NOTE: I'm being told Windows XP is "Tools", earlier versions of Windows might either be "Folder" or "View")
-Click "Folder Options"
-Select the "View" tab
-Under "Files and Folders", find an option that's called "Hide extentions for known file types".
-DE-SELECT it. (If there's a check in the box, remove it.
-You should now be able to see your file extentions and be able to change them.
-To go back to your original setting, go back and RE-SELECT "Hide extentions for known file types". ;)

And again, if you have any other questions, you can always ask here! ;)

[endblink]

Anyone know how I can Join all my pics into one smooth sig?Well, you can do one of two things:

1) make sure each sig code isn't on a "new" line. Of course, it'll look that way in the small sig box in the profile, but make sure there are not spaces between code. Take a look at my current sig. It's actually two sigs next to each other:
[img]img1.txt[/img][img]img2.txt[/img][img]img3.txt[/img]

http://www.geocities.com/legendaryzero0/zero_forteii.txthttp://www.geocities.com/legendaryzero0/zero_forteiineon.txthttp://www.geocities.com/legendaryzero0/zero_forteiiunedited.txt

as oppose to:
[img]img1.txt[/img] [img]img2.txt[/img] [img]img3.txt[/img]

2) Create a new sig in Photoshop. Glue one after the other, save the image, upload it to your website, and there you go.

[Bass Clef Man]

Ok, i read the topic, and I must be missing something insanely obvious - look at my sig's "picture". Could you please tell me what I'm missing?

Is the file a .txt on your server ?

No - that must be it. One moment as I fix that...

[Bass Clef Man]

Ok I read through this and I still can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I have renamed the file ext. to txt on my computer. I have tried re-uploading it but Geocities does not allow you to upload txt files through the pictures menu. Also, I can't rename the file in my FileManager because it has to be an HTML file. So what else can I do?
Thanks

[Dopey]

Hello. Long time listener first time caller I guess you could say. :wink: I really just have a quick question becuase I'm so net-illiterate and I wanted to see whether or not my instinct on this question is right or not. (And by the way thank you so much for helping people like me who would have no idea where to start with this if it weren't for people like all of you.)

It is a fact that in order to put a picture in your signature you need to have said picture somewhere up on the internet. Now....This is where all of my confusion settles in because I am not sure whether or not this is correct. Please don't hurt me if I'm wasting all of your time...I really want to avoid stepping on peoples' toes around here when they do not need to be stepped on. You would need to have the picture on some sort of webspace (geocities angelfire or etc.) that you yourself owned correct? If I were to go around different webspaces looking for pictures and then placing said picture into my signature I would be leeching off of thier site and causing much distress and hair pulling and gnashing of teeth yes yes?

Once again I apologize in advance if this had been covered before or if it is just common knowledge. I really don't want to annoy anyone.

Here's what you need to do:

-Open the folder with the file you wish to change
-Click on "Tools" in the Menu bar (NOTE: I'm being told Windows XP is "Tools", earlier versions of Windows might either be "Folder" or "View")
-Click "Folder Options"
-Select the "View" tab
-Under "Files and Folders", find an option that's called "Hide extentions for known file types".
-DE-SELECT it. (If there's a check in the box, remove it.)
-You should now be able to see your file extentions and be able to change them.
-To go back to your original setting, go back and RE-SELECT "Hide extentions for known file types".

What you're talking about is what StarBlast is currently doing, but StarBlast hosts his sig on his own paid server which would allow that kind of remote coding.

You don't. You make a picture that ends in that extension. Although you could always change the extension on a .html file with file renaming.

If you wanna do the rotating sig trick, you need to do a bit of PHP coding(Ginnsu has something like that in his sig, displays random quotes from the Quotebot), not HTML stuff.

Well Then I'm Shoppin' At Sears 'Cause I Don't Buy At The Gap
I'm Sending This One Out To All The Funky Inspirations
Pretty Purdie On The Drums With The Beat Relations yea yea
Well I'm Working On Rhymes, They're Coming Line By Line
Trying To Put What I Feel Into Word And Rhymes
I've Got A Feeling Comin' On I've Got To Make Some Shit
A Little Something Stupid For The Twisted And Sick
Because I Drive Like A Maniac On The Streets
And I Don't Give Fuck 'Cause I've Got The Beats
Got My Nuts Swingin' From Left To Right And
Right To Left And I'm Death Defying

"So You Wanna Be An MC Huh"
"So You Wanna Be An MC Huh"

Spin My Fortune On A Wheel Like Sajak
Here's The Payback Keep Going Strong Like Since The Way Back
I Try To Be Myself But I Lose Track
Because The Shit Gets Complicated Now I've Got To Get Back
As We Learn To Breed Love For One Another
In These Times Of Melding Cultures
I Give Respect For What's Been Borrowed And Lent
I Know This Music Comes Down From African Descent
'Cause I Don't Need A Magic Potion
Let Me Talk About Back Field In Motion
My Girls Got Cheeks For Weeks And I'm Happy
You Know I'm A Sneak Like My Old Grand Pappy
Well I Gotta' Give Thanks To My Man Archie Sheep
For Staying True To Inspiration 'Cause I Don't Half Step
So I Kick Out The Jams And Tell You Who I Am
And Then I Talk To The People Like Les Mccann

"So You Wanna Be An MC Huh"
"So You Wanna Be An MC Huh"

I Ask God For A Rhyme Or Two
A Little Something For The Wise As Well As The Fool
A Little Something To Affect A Little Taste Of Change
For The Together And Strong As Well As the Dearanged
Because I'll Do You Right Like Bobby Knight
And Then I'm Rapping On The Mic To The Broadway Light
Stomp My Hands, I Clap My Feet And whoo
I'm Bugging Off Yusef Lateef
I Got A Match To My Ass And I'm A Keep It Lit
Well Then I Need To Get Some Cash Call My Accountant Britt
Because I'm Rushing Around Town Taking Care Of My Functions
Always Got One More Thing So Forget About Function
We Create This World And The Problems Go On
Create Our Lives And The Things That Go Wrong
So To The Deaf, The Blind, Look Around And Listen
To What It Is You Want And For What You're Wishing

"Oh.." yea
"So You Wanna Be An MC Huh"
