Image posting question

[apexpredator]

I'm new to the forum as of today. I've been playing around a little and have a few new guy questions. Mainly, I'd like to know how to post multiple pictures in a topic. All I've been able to do is attach only one, and I have to reply to my own post to add more (one attachment at a time) I'm sure I'm just retarded, and need to learn to navigate the site better, but any help would be much appreciated. Thanks everyone

go to an image hosting site, I prefer Flickr and Photobucket. Upload your images there, then find the links with and copy it, then paste it in your post. Super simple!

Thanks! I wasn't sure if I could just upload them straight off the computer or not.

Any idea if You can import from Instagram?

[Eric]

it's a bit harder. I haven't found a way to get the link of just the photo in the properties. If you sync instagram with facebook, you can grab the link by right clicking the photo and then properties. just add the [img][/img] tags on either side of the link.

Instagram looks decent on your phone, or on the little facebook timeline, but blown up on a forum it gets grainy quick.

If you have instagram, then you probably have a smart phone, then you should get the photobucket app. Super easy to upload from your phone. Just make sure that you don't set photobucket to sync all your photo's automatically or else your girlfriends clam shots will be all over the interwebs!

To get the URL of images on instagram:

1. Open up your instagram on a desktop computer: http://instagram.com/tonerrrr/
2. Right click the picture you want to use and hit "open in new tab": http://instagram.com/p/csN_NHkHwD/
3. Right click on that page and hit "view source"
4. Locate this bit in the source: <meta property="og:image" content="http://distilleryimage7.ak.instagram.com/96218708fef311e2939222000a9f1385_7.jpg" />
5. Post that link in an image tag (delete hyphens out of the [IMG] tag):
   [IMG-]http://distilleryimage7.ak.instagram.com/96218708fef311e2939222000a9f1385_7.jpg[/IMG-]

Thanks everyone. It's nice to finally get some answers by forum goers that aren't assholes. You get so many trolls on this site that only want to be negative or start arguments. I appreciate the info with no undertones.

That's cause usually they are not smart enough to scroll all the way down to troll this part of the forum.

So true. And the amount of time spent trolling could be used helping.

School will be staring here, so the amount of idiotic post will drop.
