Hello,

Just testing to see whether I have multiple pic posting worked out.

...how multiple pictures are posted, and WHY the moderators have never tagged picture posting to the top of the forum so that people wouldn't have to waste bandwidth trying to figure it out?! Sheesh!!

Are you posting pictures that have been uploaded to the kingsnake/pethobbyist galleries, or pictures that are from an outside website? If the pictures are uploaded onto the kingsnake photo gallery, all that is required is holding the Ctrl button and making sure that each picture file you want to include is highlighted before submitting your post. Your list of photo gallery images should be displayed above the "post message, reset, preview message" indicators, and you can select from the list.

After the submit button is selected, your post page will load onto your computer. Let it load in full, otherwise, the pictures will not come out.

The only suggestion I have for determining bandwidth is to use a photo editing program that can tell you this in each photo's stats before you try to upload. Even holding to this, on multiple occasions I've misread my filesize such that the photo I am trying to post comes up in error as too large.

I don't use the kingsnake gallery. I can post single images by inserting the html into the 'image url' field at the bottom of the page - however, I want to be able to post multiple pictures from an outside source along with my caption information. I used to know how to do this on kingsnake, but it's been a few years since I really posted any photos.

Actually there are links on how to do this on the FAQ page or if you click the tools and toys links under the message box as you add your text, it explains it as well.

If you don't want to put them in using the kingsnake.com gallery, you can do it like this -

Put the url of the pic between two image tags using square brackets (replace the { and } with square brackets) -

{img}http://www.myphotohost.com/myimage.jpg{/img}

Just put that in the text where you want it and you will see stuff like this -

Chris,

Thanks a bunch. I looked at the Tools and Toys and just didn't put two and two together - also, I did read the FAQ but found that it wasn't as clear there either. I know they have the capability to 'pin' things to the top of a forum [called 'sticky' on other message boards - for sticky notes]. I just don't know why such a commonly asked question, especially in the photography forum isn't attached to the top of the forum.
