Bulk uploading including resizing all pictures: If you want to upload lots of photos at once such as after a meet, the best way is to sign up for Imgur (free) as this gives you more features and you can keep track of your pictures. Once you have signed up, the process is as below:
- Click your username in the top right and select 'images' from the top of the list
- The toolbar on the right will show options for uploading.
BEFORE UPLOADING you should fill out the two boxes; Add to album and Auto resize.
- In the album box select 'New album' and give it a name. You can also select how it displays and whether it is public (people searching imgur can see it), hidden (people must have a direct link to see it) or secret (only you can see it). For forum photos I would suggest hidden.
- In the resize box, I suggest 800x600 for sharing on the forum.
- Now you can either drag and drop your pictures into your browser, or use the 'computer' button to browse and select them. Remember you can select multiple when doing this.
- Imgur will list and begin processing your images. Grab a cuppa and wait.
- Once they are all uploaded you will see a summary area at the top. Click the View Image Info button
- In the drop-down box select Generate Image Links. Imgur will then ask you to select the images you want to link. You can tick individual ones or click and drag a box over multiple:
- If you have more than one page of images just drag over them all, click to the next page and do it again. Imgur will append the selection.
- Now hit the done button
- You will see a box with links. You need to change these to BBCode links for the forum so click the middle drop-down box and choose that option
- The box will now contain all the links, ready to go. Click the copy button, go to NPOC and paste the text into your post.
- You are done. Hope this was helpful.
By the way, it's pronounced Image-er
