Photobucket has a new feature were if you simply left click on the last code (IMG at the bottom of your pic) and it will automaticlly copies the IMG code

Now all you have to do is left click in the reply box here at BMX Museum

Briefly to start off there is a helpful red Search icon at the top of every page(not the Google search). Enter your item to be searched in the "Search Query" section and click the "Search for all terms" bullet under the query. Then go to the "Search Options" section and choose a board from the "Forum" drop down menu. This will limit the results to your search and be the easiest way to find what your looking for..

The purpose of the "Search" is to offer a member the opportunity to research his/her question better. There is so much information from past threads that you may never see because that member is no longer here, or doesn't see your new post, or just won't respond to the same question. So use it to your advantage and enjoy the board! View this funny and informative film about posting and searching…

Also, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the forum. At the top of every board there are threads that are tagged as "Sticky" These threads are "Sticky" because they contain very important/valuable information  and everyone should read them.

Please take time to check out the referance area , there is a TON of useful info inside there to refer to when needed , also if you feel you have something not posted there or some new info to add , Please do ...


On the Left in the White Log In Box there are several red links , 1 of them reads "Submit a Bike" take a minute and add your bikes to the museum ...

To post pics get a photobucket account..(www.photobucket.com) It's free and easy... Upload photos then copy and paste the bottom code (there are four under each picture, post the one that has "IMG code" next to it) here in one of your posts and then when you submit it your pic will show up

What if it says your pic is too large?

you can make your picture smaller with micrsoft paint, or another free graphics program like the gimp.  open your picture, and find where to reduce size by percent, and change it to 25% (or whatever works for you).  keep the aspect ratio (when you change the height, the width changes too, and vise versa).  then "save as" and rename it, so you can keep the high res orignal just in case.  then upload the smaller file.

let us know if you need help with that

I wanted to add here, to keep it simple and not have to load something into your Photobucket account an alternative is to use Tinypic.com it's owned by by photobucket and doesn't require an acount. More of a one time deal and it doesn't clutter up your Bucket account with stuff you are getting rid of.

another free pic host site is www.majhost.com

just make a free account, and start uploading!

Wolfgang:  Yes you can!  Heck you can link to pics on eBay or anywhere for that matter, as long as the correct image tags are present, they'll show up.

So what are the correct tags? I've learned that regular HTML doesn't work... and that putting my URL between the IMG tags doesn't work either..... can someone give an example of the code? I've got my pictures on my own site.... seems silly to have to load them onto Photobucket just to show them on here.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

^^cool.  glad you figured it out.  of you want to show an example of what code should look like, use code tags.

image tags look like this...

Hey,

I haven't been riding in forever and I wanted to know if anyone knew what year my bike is?  I am trying to sell it locally, but need some information about the bike itself.  If ANYONE can help me out it would be much appreciated.  The only thing I know about it is its a DYNO COMPE with all original parts.  Thanks, Justin


Let me know if this link works:
C:\Documents and Settings\PG11640\Local Settings\Temp\notesC9812B\100_0900.jpg
