Imageshack Uploading Images Tutorial

Post by eXg. sabooya »

In light of numerous requests and problems people have been having I decided to write up a tut on posting images through imageshack.

First off, navigate your Browser to http://imageshack.org
Image

Second, click browse. Then Select and Open your image.

Third, Decide if you want to change the size of the image or remove the size/resolution bar from the thumbnail. (I generally leave both of these off, to keep my images their normal size.) Then Host Your image.
Image

Finally, Decide on the code you wish to use. HTML codes are used for websites, and supported forums, but the eXg forums only use pHpBB code.
Image

Codes 1,3,4,6,7 Do not work with the eXg forums, because they use HTML which the forums do not support. However pHpBB is supported, and you can use codes 2,5,8,9.

Code 2 produces a thumbnail and a link to the original size of the image, which is great for having a lot of pictures, and to speed up the load of a page or thread.
Image

Code 5 Posts the Original size of the image with a link back to imageshack's website, usually used for signatures.

Code 8 displays a link to an image shack page that displays the image's actual size.

Code 9 displays a direct link, or URL back to the image. This URL is most useful, because the code can be used anywhere. You can post it up by itself, or add image tags around it to create what Code 5 does without a link to imageshack. This is what most people and I use with signatures, logos, etc.

To correctly do code 9 in the format of Code 8(usually this is how you should do it) you must; Take code 9 copy/paste it into the Post/Reply window in exg, then highlight the code you just pasted and click the Image
