How to post a picture of your Coupe

We often have new (and existing!) users who ask how to post a picture of their car on the forum.

We now offer 2 options for you to do this.

1) Post directly from your phone, tablet or computer.

2) Post using a 3rd party software as detailed below.



Here is a detailed how to guide for this whether you use Photobucket or Flickr.


Here is how to upload photos using Photobucket


1) You can upload photos directly from your phone to Photobucket via their app or from your laptop as shown below in 2 & 3

2) Upload your photo to your account via the cloud icon in upper right hand corner



3) Drag your photos into the web browser then click 'upload photo' and 'upload'. The select the 'direct link'.



4) Back to FCCUK and click your img pop icon, the little blue shaded square above the text box.



5) Paste your direct link into the imgpop



Finito!






Here is how to upload photos using Flickr


1) You can upload photos directly from your phone to Flickr via their app, or from your laptop as shown below in 2 & 3

2) Upload your photo to your account via the cloud icon in upper right hand corner



3) Drag your photos into the web browser then click 'upload photo' and 'upload'. Then select the BBC code link.



4) Back to FCCUK and click your img pop icon, the little blue shaded square above the text box.



5) Paste your direct link into the imgpop



6) You need to edit the link as it comes in too long you need the link that starts https: and ends .jpg (or whatever format your photo is) I've highlighted the sections you need to delete:





This is what you should be left with:



Finito!

Excellent!! Many thanks

Perhaps this ought to be a sticky?

Wow Just noticed you can change the color and style of the forum!

*novelty value*

Like it!

Good idea Tim, now done.

Thanks for doing this Gunzi.

Doh. that didn't quite go as planned. User error I suspect...

Worked fine but it's a bit small. It's probably down to the original file size.

Ah, I think you're right. I'll keep trying. Thanks Gunzi.

What's the best size to upload pics to photobucket?

which car?

Great thread. Especially now the cars are thought of as classics, i think we'll be getting more ..err 'Wiser' aged guys, who werent raised on a diet of Super Mario, Youporn and myface.

Maybe there should be a gallery, unless we have one which i missed. I know there a projects section, but if youve bought a nice minter and just keep it clean perhaps one wouldnt consider it a project and thus not post a pic in projects?

"Styling" section, top thread

Instructions transferred from Photobucket to Flickr.

An alternative way to get around this issue is photobucket embed fix for Chrome or photobucket embed fix for Firefox, both allows you to see the photobucket photos.

Have read above. There doesn't seem to be a way of posting pics from my iPhone or iPad photos directly. Am I correct?
Thanks for replies.

As it stands that is correct, we need to use a 3rd party program like Photobucket or Flickr.

....testing....

Nah, didn't quite work.

Flickr has changed since I was there last, but if you poke the download button on the bottom right of the image, you get to a page offering different download sizes. Then you can copy the image location - it will end .jpg - and then you can paste that into the imgpop thus:

Oooh, very nice

Will try again, thanks very much. Cheers.

I'm using 'tinyphoto' now which does allow third party use unlike 'photobucket' so can I embed a full size (or an appropriate sized) photo or do I still need to use the 'imgpop'? If so, how? If not, how come when I use the imgpop I don't see a thumbnail, only a "Click here to enlarge" message box?
Thanks

Andrew

You need to use this section of what you paste from tiny photo:

http://i65.tinypic.com/4lhhjt.jpg

And put [imgpop] at the start

And [/imgpop] at the other end.

Then you get this:

Can I upload images straight from my phone ? I don’t have flickery or photobuckety thingy

Unfortunately not at this time.

I would like to see your cars, either you have a half Coupe half Spider or hopefully one of each

Visually It’s a Tipo 916 Spider but mechanically it’ll be a coupe 20vt running gear in place of the 2.0 TS unit .

While I respect the forum’s admin stand on not providing an image uploading feature from a mobile device, it’s worth considering going forward, as it’s such a convenient app to post pics as and when in this digital age.
Cheers.

Hold that thought- with the forum upgrade completed there is likely to be some news very soon....

As Ballypete indicated earlier today Users can now upload images directly from their devices to the forum.

I've updated the initial thread with the link to the how to post directly from your phone, tablet or computer.
