Picture posting etiquette
No Advertising
No posting of copyrighted materials:
Images/writings you do not own or have the right to use should not be posted. Do not link images from within other websites unless you have permission to do so.
Image Size Height - Width:
Image width should be less than 600 pixels. If your images are larger please resize them to a maximum of 400 pixels.
Image File Size:
For users on a slow modem waiting for huge pictures to load can get annoying. For faster image load speeds convert your images to .jpg and compress them using a jpg compressor to a file size of less than 60KB. You can find online jpg compressors here at these links :
http://www.spinwave.com/ (http://www.spinwave.com/)
Bio Pics:
The latest version of forum software lets you add your own picture to your bio. The bio pic loads in every post and if the pic files size is to large it can really slow the board down. Bio pics will only be allowed if the are less than 120-pixels_height by 120- pixels_width and are less than 8KB in files size.

Thanks, Rusty

For some reason I cant post a bio-pic. I have used the link to Rgfixits post but I cant fidn the the box marked " I have my own photo". I have gone over my profile many times but that option is not there! I can pick a stored photo but none of my own, is there a system error or am I looking in the wrong spot? help
-
bass junky you need three posts before you can have your own personal avatar...so post away youre almost there ;)

thanx for the info, I thought I was going crazy. I had no problems setting up a pic on iceshanty but I waited until I had a lot more posts. thanx again

Hi everyone, I was wondering how to add a profile picture. I have a digital photo saved on my computer in Adobe photoshop, can I add a photo from Adobe photo shop to my profile picture? if so how.
If I have to use photobucket, how do you transfer the image from the photo shop to photobucket, and what is the personal avatar? :unsure:

You sign up on photobucket. after you are logged on then you browse pics of your pics and select it to summit to photobucket. after its saved there then you can link to it from MFF or IS.
-
I am now signed up with Photobucket, but am not sure how it works. How do I send my photo from the Adobe Photoshop to my Photobucket album? And once I do that, how do I like it up to my fish finder profile? ???

As mentioned above, you cant link a photo to your profile until you hit 5 posts. SO you still have 2 to go
open up your photo bucket and click "browse to look thru your hard drive for photos. You will need to remember how and where you saved them. Once you find the photo you want click on it, and photo bucket will automatically bring it to its site. You will have to shrink your photos down to use them on this site, real small for your profile.
Once you hit 5 posts, go into your profile on this site. There will be a radio button that says "I have my own photo" click it, then cut and paste the URL info under the picture you want to use as your profile.
hope this helps

Bassjunky,
I now have the photo transfered to photobucket, I reduced it as you said, and cut and paste, the URL into my profile but when I hit the redo profile button, there is an X where my picture should be, what do I do to correct this?
Thanks for the help :laugh:

Water Wolf,
In photobucket, use the very bottom address of the 3 and it should work.

Not for the profile, you're supposed to use the "url", not the [IMG].
For your avatar, make sure the picture is less 120x120 pixels, and that it is less than 8KB. Also, make sure you select "I have my own profile picture" or whatever that is. Hope this helps.
-
Pasquatch is right, you need to use the URL section not the IMG. The issue may be the size as he also mentioned. Try to cut it down and re-do the URL.
Also a mistake I have made a few times before cluing in was I either deleted the picture from photobucket after i used it or I moved it to a folder. Any changes to the location of the photo will give you a red "x" in its place. SO make sure the URL you used matched the current URL of the photo.
if this reads like gibberish I apologize

Yeah, if you move the file, it won't read on Photobucket. Also, if its deleted from Photobucket, it won't show on the web. ;)

Wes,
Thanks, that was my bust. I was thinking normal pic.

-
Yeah normal picture you need to use the [IMG], I don't really know why the avatar is any different, but it is.

Click "Modify" on the line where there is "Modify", "Remove", and "Reply with Quote".
Insert the picture's address, and voila!

any idea why I don't even have the option to add my own picture as my avatar? I'm new to this site, but I skimmed this thread and the help option, but didn't see anything about it. My brother has a profile, and he has the option to use his own picture so I know I'm not goin too crazy. A little assistance needed and appreciated ;D

I think you need one more post for that feature to be available.

I can't seem to post a bio pic????
-
So do you have to have 3 or 5 posts before you can add a bio pic?
-
Glad I FINALLY found these posts explaining that you can't post your own photo until you have somewhere between 3 & 5 posts....so here is my first post only 4 more to go to get my own avatar. It wasn't this was on IS.
-
I too have tried posting some pics on a reply but can not do it!! Do i have to have a few more new posts before I do that? I got a photobucket but not really sure how to get the pic posted on a topic reply. Can anyone let me know what im doing wrong?

Any idea why I can't use this as a bio pic? size is 100x100 pixels, 6 KBs. I had a bio pic, just wanted to update.
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/67ElMwnH0oPMls1yLFPKlA?feat=directlink
I put it in its own album that is set to public. Could it be the https (secure http) that's the problem? Anyone know?

Your photos must be stored online in order to post them.
You can open a free account with www.photobucket.com, www.myfishingpictures. com, or www.hunt101.com
The following instructions are for photobucket account members:
To add an Avatar picture to your account...
1st - resize the picture you want to a maximum of 120 x 120 pixels on your computer.
2nd - open up another window to photobucket and upload that photo to your photobucket account.
3rd - Left click on "Direct Link" for that picture (this will copy the photo info)
4th - Open your Iceshanty "profile", then click on "forum profile information" and paste the address to the "I have my own picture" box and check that box. .
5th - Then click on the "change profile" button on the bottom right of that page.
Your avatar should now be displayed in all your posts. You can change your avatar at any time
To post pictures to the site...
1. Upload your pictures to your photobucket account.
2. Resize any pictures you'd like to post to a maximum of 400x600 pixels. Larger pictures distort the forum page and take longer to load. This can be done easily in Photobucket using the "Edit" options.
3. Open your photobucket album and find the photo you want to add. Place your cursor over the picture and a drop down menu will appear. Left click on "IMG Code". (this will copy the photo info)
4. Go to your post you want to add it to on iceshanty.com, right click and "paste" the info.
(if you copy the image code, it already has the "img" tags on the address and no further action is needed.)
For other photo storage sites that don't install the "img" codes onto your photo addresses, you'll have to add them manually.
The "Add BBC tags:" tool bar is at the top of every message dialog below the "Subject" dialog box and the "Message icon". In the lower row, click on the 2nd icon from the left...the "Insert Image" icon(it looks like a small picture).
The command [ img][/img] will appear in your text message.
Paste the address of your picture between the commands like this;
[ img]paste your image location here [ /img]
Be sure not to add any spaces or other characters.
Preview your post to be sure your picture is there and then choose post.
