HOW to POST an AD with PHOTOS

Forum Boss

Administrator
Click "Post New Thread" in the Classifieds Zone.
The Orange Post Thread button is at the upper right on desktop screens. On a smartphone it may appear on left of center above the first Classified Thread.

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

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

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.

EASY UPLOAD for image on your hard-drive -- Drag photo into frame.

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 them to appear as thumbnails, you can use the Attach File Button.

You can also click the attach file feature, but we recommend you use the photo control instead, because this will show full photo, not just a thumbnail.

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 .

scope eye, at the bottom right in the classifieds ..POST NEW THREAD, hit that and a page will come up..on top left it says PREFIX..hit that and the Buying, Selling, Wanted icons come up..take your choice.
 
I had the "privilege" of posting in the classifieds until I posted the question. So basically an administrator takes the time to read my post, but does not take the time answer my question. Then limits my forum access without even having the courtesy of telling me why. Nice

Hello scope eye,

We at Shooters Forum would like to wish you a happy birthday today!


I don't know why but I find that Hysterical and kind of Ironic.

If that is your way of wishing me happy birthday, for future reference please don't.

No, I did not.
However, I have a thought about this. Our own ads may not be bold for us, but bold when viewed by someone else.
I just moved my last item to the top in the Reloading Components , it is SOLD, Norma 6XC brass. When I look at it, it is NOT bold.
Let's do a test. Click on it, and let me know if it is BOLD to you.

Forum Boss: All Threads start with a Bold title. That indicates it is UNREAD (i.e. new). After the thread title is clicked the bold goes away.
