Many users can get confused on how to post pictures on the forum so we wanted to give you a simple 'how-to' on sharing your off-road images. If you have questions about posting pics, please list them here.

 

The basics:

- All images must be hosted online somewhere besides the DDO site. E.g. Flickr, Photobucket, Snapfish, etc.

- Use the entire web link from the image when inserting and make sure the link isn't broken.

- Any size image may be used, the forum will auto correct the image to fit.

- Use a a full paragraph space between all inserted photos and text to keep your post looking clean.

 

Step 1 - Click the Insert/Edit Image button in the tool bar

 

Step 2 – When the insert image window opens paste in the link of the photo you want to insert where it says Image URL. You don't need to worry about any of the other fields. Then click Insert.

 

 

Step 3 - The image will now be inserted in your window. Don't worry if the image is too large. The forum will auto resize the image to 400px wide.

 

 

Step 4 - To keep your post clean and prevent any over lap, mark your cursor to the right of your inserted image and hit Enter on your keyboard to bring the curser down to a new paragraph. Now you can start typing or insert another image.

 

 

Step 5 - Once you are done typing and inserting pictures, publish your new post as you normally do by clicking Post New Topic. You will notice that any picutes you inserted that were larger than 400px wide have been re-sized and have a small mouse icon on them just like the ones in this post. You can click that mouse icon and the picture will enlarge in a new window to it original size. Any picture you inserted that is smaller than 400px wide will stay the same size and will not have the mouse icon on it.

 

 

DONE - Now you're done. If you need to edit your post or add more picutres, just click Edit Your Post at the top of your post and you can perform edits the same way.

Enjoy!
