These video tutorials explains how to get a link from Flickr and Photobucket, so you can post your images here in the forum. The content is aimed at people who are not familiar with this process. The idea is that if you have any problems getting links and posting in this forum you should come to this thread, view the videos, and if you still have any difficulties post your questions here. The videos are quite long but do cover all of the relevant areas that others have had difficulty with in the past.
If you are not familiar with uploading images to Flickr, you might find this video tutorial on the Flickr Uploader Tool very useful. www.f-stop-cafe.com/index.cgi?board=tutorials&action=display&thread=366
You need to watch in full screen mode - click the symbol in the bottom-right corner of the video window. Also, change the viewing size (also at the bottom) to HD1080 - it was created in HD mode.
The images below are the ones that were posted in the video tutorials. YOU NEED TO WATCH THE VIDEOS FOR IT TO MAKE ANY SENSE. The images are just included as real-life examples for you to test out.
If you have any questions about the content of this tutorial, please post them below, and they will be answered.
