potter needs assistance from someone less intimidated by their pc :)

[alsih2o]

i have the "i r.p.g." bumperstickers mentioned in a general thread, and i want to post an image of one as i offer them.

however, i have no idea how to do this. my understanding is they have to be "hosted" somewhere.

can anyone of you who knows how and has the means assist a poor potter for a free bumpersticker or two?

Heh, I thought you were intimidated by your player character

Looks like I did it again too.

You can get some free webspace that allows access from other sites and store the image there. Then post the HMTL code in your post to show it.

[Dragongirl]

The HTML would be like this :

#p align="center"# #image src="URL of where you stored the file and the file name"# #/p#

Replace the #s with the appropriate lesser and greater than signs.

ACK... don't confuse the poor guy with complicated html stuff. vB code is turned on here, which is *much* easier for those less computer-savvy peeps to understand.

Click here for information about vB code:

Click here for information about image code (more to the point of what you need):

http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/misc....bbcode#imgcode

But before he does either of those, he must scan the images, which he is having issues with his scanner anyway.

Good luck.

Heheh you ani-html person you!!!! :P

[alsih2o]

khan, thanks for the insight

dragongirl, that whizzing sound you hear is a lot of letters and numbers going over my wee little head :P

Well, maybe it is because HTML for an image requires roughly 40 keystrokes, while simple vB code requires 10 or less keystrokes.

Time is a precious thing and I try not to ever waste mine.

I beg to disagree

vB:

[ I M G ] (address) [ / I M G ] = 10 keystrokes

HTML:

< I M G S R C = " (address) "> = 12 keystrokes

Two keystrokes more isn't like 30 keystrokes more, is it?

I was basing that on the following posted by DG:

#p align="center"# #image src="URL of where you stored the file and the file name"# #/p#

You can do an equivalent complicated declaration in vB too

BTW, in the last post, I forget the smiley, please, don't take it seriously
