    Default INSTRUCTIONS: How to post Photos

    For Sale ads are about worthless without pictures, so I thought I would put this together to help people out.

    1. Pick a photo hosting site lite www.photobucket.com and upload the photos you want to post.

    2. Selct the photo you want to insert in the ad and RIGHT CLICK on "IMG Code".



    3. PASTE that link into your ad and you are done. Repeat steps 2-3 to post additional photos.

    It really is that easy!!

    1. Pick a photo hosting site lite www.photobucket.com and upload the photos you want to post.

    2. Click on "Edit" just above the picture and to the left. A window will pop up, click on resize and select "Medium (230x240)" or the smaller one. This will create a picture in your ad that will fit without people having to scroll to the right to see it all.

    3. Paste the "IMG Code", located beneath the picture, in your ad. This will give you a large pic instead of the thumbnail.

    Default Can't get it to work

    I have printed out the instructions in this section and in the "Rifles & Shotguns" section, and I just can't get it to work. When I go to Photobucket the expected, or advertised choices just don't come up. I'm sure I'm doing it wrong because so many people are able to attach photos to their ads. Is anyone interested in walking me through it? I'd sure be grateful. abcornelius@comcast.net

    I figured out how to get my photos into Photobucket and how to get an IMG # below the photo. Now how do I "paste" an image code into my ad? I right click on the code and I get a number of selections, paste included, but paste is faded and when I click on it nothing happens.
    Thank you.

    Thank you.
    Is the image code highlighted first when you right click?

    How do you empty any unwanted photos out of the "file upload manager"
    I can't seem to delete them, and I am full up to the 1 mb limit.

    As illustrated in the first post, photobucket sucks


    Use ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting

    You can create a photo album on your profile here in NWF. Couldn't you use this as your reference for the ad? I haven't posted an ad, so I don't know. Just asking.
