I'd like to post a thumbnail of a DPC photo on my profile page, but can't figure it out. I've read Bod's good tutorial, but I still can't make it work. Any suggestions?
Do you want just a thumbnail? Or do you want the thumbnail to link?
---just a thumbnail---
Right click the thumbnail you want
Click properties
Copy the URL displayed (the one that ends in .jpg)
Put that url in the [img] [/ img] tags (with no space)
---linking thumbnail---
Follow the steps above
Go to the full view page of the image, eg //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=76259 and copy the URL in the Address bar
Use the URL tags in the following way
[url = The URL from the address bar][img] the thumbnail URL from the previous method [/ img][/ url] (with no spaces)
This should then work :)
Hopefully I've made it easy enough to understand. Just ask me again if you need anything cleared up :)
Yeh that's what I said :)
You can't use the actual [thumb] tags in your profile, but if you edit a forum post in which you used the [thumb] tags, you will see it has been converted to the long code you've written, which does work in profiles.
