    Posting externally hosted pictures

    OK guys, Now that we are going to all externally hosted pictures, I need help. I have registered at imageBam and loaded some test photos, now what? They are not clear on how to upload pictures off of their site and The Board is not clear on how to load them here. Since the browse button is gone from here, what next? Since I have never used a external host, I am clueless. And please be specific with what to do, as I do not want to screw things up and mess up the board.

    With ImageBam, if you use their basic upload option, you need to browse for each picture you want to post.
    Once you have selected all your pics select one of the options on what type of picture they are.
    ie anything with nudity would be 'Adult content' and most other stuff would be 'Family safe content'
    Select the thumbnail size, (they have 3 options) and upload them.
    Once uploaded you will have a buch of link codes.
    To post all your links in one go, use the 'All At Once' set of BB-Code ones.
    Copy them by clicking in the box to select them and copy them (ctrl + c).
    Then just paste them to the new post here.

    It is a mass uploader.
    It will upload up to 100 pictures to your choice of many different hosts and give you the clickable thumbs that you can COPY and Paste.
    Just slide the pics into the big box, select your host and click UPLOAD.
    Looks like this



    Its advantage is that sometimes some hosts are down or running slow.
    Just choose another host and you are back in business
