HOW to POST an AD with PHOTOS

Forum Boss

Administrator
In the Classified Zone Click "Post Thread".
The ORANGE Post Thread button is at the upper right.

On a smartphone the Orange Post thread button may be left center just below the advert.

[Note: There is a 30-day classifieds lock-out for new members who have not upgraded. Also, the Color Selling/Wanted/Sold Prefixes are for Silver and Gold members ONLY.]

Title your advert, and type the text of your advert in the message box.

Now you're ready to add one or more pictures. There are two ways to do this.

GET IMAGE From Your Computer

It is easy to post photos of your rifles, stocks, and other sale items.

Drag and Drop is here. Yes, you can simply drag a photo from a folder on your computer into the post entry screen and it will appear there.

UPLOAD File with PHOTO Upload Button

If you're not comfortable dragging a photo (this may be difficult with a smartphone), you can still embed an image into a post by clicking a button. Click the "photo icon" button, then select an image from a location on your computer.

If you have a bunch of photos and prefer some to appear as smaller boxes, you can use the Attach File Button.

We recommend using the Photo upload button 90% of the time. But there are situations where you may want one or two large photos, and others will display as smaller boxes (180x180 pixels). For that use the "Attach Files" button.

HOW to POST a Web-Hosted Picture

If you have already uploaded a photo to a webhost, such as Tinypic.com, you can embed that photo in your advert. Just get the URL from the photo host. Then click on the Image button in the window for making a post. This is the button just to the right of the smiley face. Click the button and then paste the URL in the field.

Now finish writing your post and click "Post Reply."

IMPORTANT -- ABOUT PICTURE SIZES

Please keep your images to 800 pixels wide at the most. This will make it easier for others to read the boards. There is no need for a photo more than 1000 pixels wide or tall.

If you need to resize your photos, you can download FREE software called "Irfanview". This can crop, re-size, and color correct. GET Irfanview here: http://www.irfanview.com/main_download_engl.htm .

Read the directions posted by the Forum Boss, at the top of this page. The process is very simple.
 
How do you get SELLING to show on your post?

FORUM Boss: The colored Prefixes (Selling, Wanted, Sold) are for Silver and Gold member only.

If a member wants to sell something but hasn’t been a member for 30 days can he sell if he has upgraded his status to silver or gold
 
How do you get bold letters on the title line? Can get them in the description but not in title.
 
It's time for me to renew my membership. I've not saved the information where to send my check. Thank you and Good Shooting

Would like to know same
I am a Silver Member but see no option for the lit up Green SELLING title
 
The only method to attach pictures that is working for me seems to be “take photo” in the Attach files button. This uses my phone to take the photo. No resizing required. If I take a photo with my phone and then send to my desktop resized so that it fits the requirements for posting, I get an “OopsView attachment 1654137! We ran into some problems” message using any approach selecting the picture from the photo library. Is my phone or desktop doing something to the resized photo that the website doesn’t like?

I am also not able to upload from my iphone or ipad since the last iOS update.

Forum Boss -- Your photos are too BIG!

Just set the size to under 300kb or under 800 pixels wide and you'll be fine. Use your photo editor app.
