There have been lots of questions lately about posting a picture.

Just go to the forum where you want to post your image/post – click on post reply at the top of the page and compose your text.

When you want to place an image, click on the insert/edit image button (located on top of the reply text box - the first icon that looks like an a small image.)

A pop up box will open that has a Image URL box and a browse button. Click on the "browse" button and another pop up box will open.

Click "browse" (at the bottom of the screen) on the second pop up box and another box will open. Navigate to the picture on your computer that you want to upload. Select that file and click open. That window will close and the file name will be in the box.

Next click Upload File (make sure that the box is checked next to "scale if necessary"). This will upload the picture to the DK site, but you now need to add it to your reply by selecting it from the filename list above and clicking "add", or simply click on the photo when it appears and it will also add it to your post.

Then click on "OK" one the first pop up box. It will add that image location into your posting and you will be returned to your posting automatically to continue with your text and repeat the above for each image and click “Post Comment” when you are finished.

If you have trouble uploading a picture, it may be too big (make sure it is less than 100kb big and less than 500x500 pixels).

Note from Lis: - These instructions are for all forum threads. BUT if you are a member and are going to post photos in the private daring baker or daring cooks challenges forums, read the thread with the same title as this one in those forums for extra instructions on how to ensure your photo is included in the monthly slider presentation on the front page of the website (the challenge recipe reveal post). Thanks! xoxo

Thank you both so much for explaining how to do this. Smile

I'd like to add one more thing that is on topic, but not quite.. hehe

If ya'll want your photo included in the slide show on the front page of the DK website, then your photos MUST be AT LEAST 435 pixels in length by 300 pixels in height. Picture it as a rectangle with the length being longer than the height.

You can definitely post bigger photos - many do, they are usually around 500 x 390something. That's fine, I can reduce them to 435x300 without a problem. But if you submit photos that are more longer in height than length, I am no longer going to try to crop them and resize.. it's just taking way too long for me. I'm sorry, but those photos won't be included in the slide shows any longer.

Same for perfectly square photos. When I resize, they come out wonkey and I've never been able to use them.

Unfortunately, I cannot tell you how to make sure your photos are 435x300 or bigger - but maybe someone else can? Anyone? Nerd

Thanks for understanding!
xoxo
