Also, keep in mind that the other user may subsequently delete the image which will also remove it form your post too.

I've been having trouble trying to upload a festive avatar image. When I've got the image selected in the field on the uploader screen and I press upload it goes through a couple of stages and then says complete, but no code is displayed or anything and the dot is continuing to progress through the squares. I noticed something about needing to have Java script enabled and I wonder if this is the problem, but I don't really know what that means.

Heh, oddly when I type as one word it doesn't appear in my post, but when I use two words, ' Java script ', it appears.

We prefer scripts from Java and split the compound word for emphasis of this bias.
Yes, the image uploader page requires your browser to run java script. If you have the noscript plugin installed that could be getting in the way. Some personal firewalls will block scripts too.

Thanks Drew. It doesn't seem to be my firewall, I'm wondering how I can find out if I have a noscript plugin.

What browser are you using?

BTW, the avatar uploading process is different than the general purpose image uploader discussed in this thread.

Oh yeah, I've been trying to upload in a forum post for now. I've just looked into my Internet Explorer safety settings area and everything under 'scripting' is enabled, but under Java, which is a different heading, various things are enabled and disabled or have different security levels.

Actually, I think I was reading a bunch of things as being under a Java heading which weren't. I'm kind of retarded at this.

I was fiddling around with some stuff there, I think those last two posts might not have made any sense, sorry about that. I've actually tried doing this in both the avatar section of my profile and in the forum post one and have had the same result. I think I'm in Internet Explorer, I'm on AOL and have never had to select a browser, I think it's automatically Internet Explorer on AOL.

Drew? I guess I'll just assume my skill level at this was too advanced for you.

I don't use AOL. I don't know how to configure the script/security settings in AOL's browser. I can't help you.

Lets see if I've got this right. If I have then you will now be staring at the most perfect female on the planet.

I'll record a tutorial on how this all works. That might make it a little easier.

My images tend to look a bit fuzzy, even though they look perfectly clear on my computer. This one, for example.
Is there any way to correct this?

^^ I'd say be sure to resize your pics you want to post to 600 pixels wide first - if they are larger than that. Otherwise they uploader system will resize it and for whatever reason doesn't do as good of a job. Looks like that might be the problem with that pic.

When we resize an image we drop the quality way down to increase the amount of JPG compression. It's all about bandwidth.

Thanks, Drew and HeyNow! I'll be sure to shrink my images before posting them in the future; that picture looks better now.

Can we post pics from a smart phone? I only use my iPhone to post and I'd like to post some pics in my Nikki Smith thread.

A smart phone browser should work the same way as a computer-based browser. The image uploader is very old-school/low-tech.

Probably not an option, but is it possible to center an image in a post? I don't see it listed in the Text Markup options, but I just thought I'd ask to see if there's some super secret forum code.

^ It's not. Including search terms or titles is treated the same as giving a link straight to the site.

Just show the performer and you have no trouble.
