How to upload your photos to the STOC website
Posted: Wed Jun 29, 2011 8:24 pm
For the benefit of those members who would like to add photos to their written contributions, I hope the following instructions are useful.
First, sign up to Photobucket:
http://register.photobucket.com/
Before you fill in any personal details, make sure that you can read the verification details in “See this code?”.
If not, then press Refresh/Reload {icon with 2 green “roundabout” arrows at the top of browser}.
Keep pressing it until you find a readable verification.
Then, enter your personal details and choose a strong password. Make a note of the password and login name for future reference!
Press the Upload Now (white on green) button to upload your selected photos from your pc to your Photobucket account.
Next click on Select photos and videos.
You will need to browse your pc to the location where you have stored those photos (Pictures, My Pictures, My Photos, Documents, Desktop etc).
**Rather than using the Ctrl button to upload multiple photos, make sure that you use the excellent and fast Photobucket bulk uploader tool by clicking on the link featured on the same page.
Look for "Use our bulk uploader: upload multiple files, fast".
Once the photos are in your Photobucket account, you need to upload (copy & paste) those selected photos from your Photobucket account to the particular STOC topic where you want the photos to go.
Hover your mouse cursor/pointer over the selected photo in the Photobucket album and simply left click on the bold IMG Code.
You will see that a “copied” notice very briefly appears in the window to the right of IMG Code.
Go to the already opened STOC forum page, where you wish to place the photo, right click to bring up “Paste”, then left click on Paste.
It is a very good idea to leave a space between the accompanying text and the photo.
Job done.
