Posting your Pictures to this Forum

Welcome to the New Collector Gallery!

We had a more traditional gallery previously but that required setting up each gallery individually (which was a pain) and it was easy to get overlooked (did you even know we had one?). This board will serve as a much simpler and easier way to show off your collection!

Method 1 - Upload directly

Click the ATTACH button at the bottom of the post. You'll be able to select 1 file here.

If you need to add additional files use the MORE ATTACHMENTS option.

Method 2: Use an offsite image host. (Recommended)

Off-site imaging allows you to post full size pictures and not eat up our space. This is really your best bet and its easy to use.

Step 1: Head on over to Imgur [CLICK HERE] and upload your photos. [No registration required, yes it's free]

Step 2: You can just post your imgur main link directly to your post, people are smart enough to click it and see your photos.

Step 3: Alternately you can link directly to individual pictures. To do this, post the picture address in the posting box. HIGHLIGHT it with your mouse then select the IMAGE button at the top of the editor (it looks like the mona lisa).

OR you can click this 'share' option in IMGUR and copy and past the BBCODE link it gives you directly into the post box, that will also work.
