Questions for the wise ones

[martybabe]

A few questions for the knowledgeable ones please.

1. when I rep someone, how do I insert smileys?

2. In simple terms please, how do I stick a large pic in a post? All I can do are thumbnails.

3.What's the quickest way from a profile page to a forum, say RnR?


I know, I'm a puta retard, good when shown how but finding my own way generally ends in disaster.

And finally

4. Am I actually seeing a bespectacled Dangerous Bastard every thread I look at or do I need therapy. :yes:

Thanx oh wise ones. :niceone:

1. when I rep someone, how do I insert smileys?
you have to type it in, ie, :lol: is : lol: (without space between : and l). Once you learn what format is used for each one, you usually don't bother trying to find it, and simply type it, as it is faster.


2. In simple terms please, how do I stick a large pic in a post? All I can do are thumbnails.
not easy... you have to use code, something like (remove brackets) (<)img src="http:websiteblah blah.com/image.jpg(>) should work, however, there are size limits around 800x600 pixels (or less).


3.What's the quickest way from a profile page to a forum, say RnR?
Top left of any page, Kiwibiker forums, then select forum. Or use tabbed browsing :2thumbsup


4. Am I actually seeing a bespectacled Dangerous Bastard every thread I look at or do I need therapy. :yes:

If its a pic from the net just right click the pic, then left click properties at the bottom, then right click on the location and select all, then right click again and copy, then its back to kb and click on the lil symbol with the pic of a mountain that says insert image, a box will come up with hhtp in it, delete the hhtp, then right click and paste !
That should fuck ya up for a while !
Not 100% sure how to put a big pic off my pc up yet but thats how i put ones off the nett up lol

[Gremlin]

ok, here is an embedded pic (thats the term)

<img src="http://www.motorcycledaily.com/032503side1.jpg">

and the exact code used to do the above is:


img src="http://www.motorcycledaily.com/032503side1.jpg"
(I have to modify the input (ie, chuck it in code tags) so that the software reads it differently. Also, if I wanted to centre the image, I would chuck in additional tags around the code above, so that it told vbulletin to do further things.

You're starting to regret this, aren't you? :lol:

edit: damn vbulletin, it will even read stuff inside code tags... not too surprising I guess, its just reading what was written. Anyway... martybabe, take the code section, put a < in front, and a > at the end

[martybabe]

:lol: NOOOOOO don't tell him!!! :lol:



YOU! I'll tell you what! why I oughta, if you ever :mad:

To embed an image on your PC you will first need to upload it. Google "Image Hosting", there's plenty to choose from.

ah, I see, its back on, I could have sworn spank turned it off at some stage, so I used another method, which is much more difficult to explain. Martybabe, if you haven't run off laughing and now stark raving mad, follow sinfull's advice.

Re pics from the net, it depends whether the person running the site allows this, specific term is hotlinking. Some people do not like it, and block it.

I use photobucket for image hosting... there are many options

A page comes up all about the pic , about the middle of the page is the location !~

Just a word of advice, if you quote a post with an image as you did here delete the code so the image doesn't come up again. There's mods just waiting with their fingers hovering above the infraction button just for this.:)

[JATZ]

just testing, didn't work, please ignore

[sinfull]

just testing, didn't work, please ignore

Should have left it up so we can see what ya did wrong !
when ya click on insert image (lil pic of mountain on it) a box comes up with hhtp in the slot dont forget to delete that first as the location you have saved from the nett has hhtp or www in the front already !~

Yes, cheers Sully60, normally do but there were two lines of code in that post and I got mightily confused.

Thanx kind mod :apint:


And thank you all, I shall progressively work my way through this thread till I've got it. :clap:


edit; Hhaha, I got it. ok I put it in the wrong place but it worked. You buggers rock.

Hows this

[JATZ]

WooHoo, got it, I think.

Always wondered how you did that.Just gotta get rid of the IMG either side.

Using BMT image hosting, quite simple really.

BTW thanks sinfull.

I'm off to upload some more images

[sinfull]

another trick to be carefull of re infractions is that if the image is massive and takes up more than the screen you will get infracted for it as you can resize the pics ! Ummmm not sure how to but word of warning there ~! If it comes up reallllll big i just go into edit and delete it !

There was a thread on the required code you had to add, but I am buggered if I can find it, and can't remember it off the top of my head.

If the image is too big, just say so, and provide a link, instead of the actual pic itself.

[sinfull]

not sure what box your clicking on are you using the 5th one from the right has a pic of a mountain with sun in it ?

[JATZ]

Yip sure am,
Tried editing the above post, tried editing the photo in bmt but it keeps coming up the same size, guess I'll just have to live with an infraction, could be worse, I could be banned

[sinfull]

Just delete it or back space between the img symbols and it should dissapear

[JATZ]

I'll leave the image that size, livin on the edge,stickin it to the man, that sort of stuff. Attached images are not a problem, I just have to muck about with em to get em the right size.

While I'm at the help desk, how do you give people good or bad rep ?

Good thread and a good game of rugby, mind you the whisky isn't the best.


Cheers guys, see ya soon.

To embed an image on your PC you will first need to upload it. Google "Image Hosting", there's plenty to choose from.

You could keep it in-house and just host your images in one of your KB albums btw :D
Makes it easy to add them to groups and stuff too.

So what is the verdict? I know that the BLAHBLAHBLAH works in some of the subfora - but not in others. What is the exact syntax to use if you want to embed a web image in a "General Bike Ravings" thread?

[Gremlin]

ah, if its the case that IMG tags don't work in the subforum, you'll have to use what I posted before.

I can't post it exactly, as it will try to read it properly and won't show, but all the details are in a previous post.

[breakaway]

1. Don't use [IMG] unless its in PMs. The forum ONLY works with HTML:

<img src='www.link-to-image.net/file.jpg'/>

2. Use www.imageshack.us for hosting. It's free, it's fast, and you don't have to sign up.
3. Learn to resize. You can do it in paint. Open the image, go to 'Image' menu and select "Sketch / Skew", and then enter a percent value. Putting in 50% will have the size of the image. If you use a editor where you can enter pixel size, use 800 px width.

[JATZ]

O.K. wise ones. How do I embed a video clip. ie. something off youtube or the likes ?

[breakaway]

Copy paste this

http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/1631/99021885ba6.th.png (http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/1631/99021885ba6.png)

Most reputable sites will have an 'embed' area where you copy text from and paste it into the "Reply" in the forum.

[JATZ]

Another question for the wise ones:not:
img code is on when I look at this thread, so I guess I can embed images here, but when I try to embed them in a thread I started in adv/dual purpose the img code is disabled.
WHY ?
Can I change this ?
Also how can I have an animated avatar.

[Gremlin]

...the img code is disabled.
WHY ?

Also how can I have an animated avatar.
I believe the img code is disabled in some forums... no idea why. use the img src code instead.

Animated avatars simply need to be compliant with rules (dimensions and size) and umm... be animated? :lol: Gifs are allowed.

[awayatc]

I have got some funny clips on my computer.....how would I get them on KB?
:sweatdrop

[Gremlin]

I have got some funny clips on my computer.....how would I get them on KB?
:sweatdrop
KB has a vid section for motorbike vids made by KB members, but just for random stuff, upload them to youtube or such like, then embed them in a post using insert link (and remove the . in the first youtube tag)

[JATZ]

Just tried to upload a new animated avatar, and got the following message.....
"YOU MAY NOT UPLOAD ANIMATED IMAGES"

Gaaaah, why is nothing ever simple:brick:

Its possible its an ability Senior Members gain.. not sure what the current requirement is to be a Senior Member, 400 posts? It was 200 a while ago. If you look up the FAQ, it may provide some clues.

Me again, does anyone know why my signature has gone AWOL please, I've done all the usual stuff, it previews my sig, I press save changes...nothing. I'm blank as.

Don't usually bother with it but I put up a festive wish and it's gone just plain gone man :eek:

Puters will be the death of me and I still can't see peoples rep post stats on explorer but I can on Firefox.

Why wise ones why?
