Pooks Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Many people ask how to post pictures on Shetlink. It is really quite easy and hopefully this short guide will assist you in doing so. There are two main ways to post an image. You can either upload it to your own webspace (included with most Internet Packages) or you can use a free image hosting provider (of which there are many). In this example I will show you how to use Photobucket.com to host your picture. ---Sign up to Photobucket---1. Go to http://register.photobucket.com/2. Enter a Username of your choice and a Password and click on Next Step3. A new page will now ask you for a few more details. Fill them in (taking time to read the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy) and then click on I accept. Sign me up!4. You will now be shown some advertising. Click on Skip this step ---Upload your image---1. Click on the Choose files button and select the image you want to upload2. Add a Title and Description if you wish and click on Save and Continue3. You will now see a thumbnail of your image. Below it you will see the IMG Code. Click in this box and it will automatically copy the link to the clipboard. ---Post your image on Shetlink!---1. In your Shetlink post, Right-click and Select Paste When you click on Submit you should see your image in your post. NotesPhotobucket gives you the option to reduce the picture size when you upload. It is recommended to reduce the size to 640x480 or smaller before posting on Shetlink. This allows people reading the forum to view the whole image without having to horizontally scroll the page. It also preserves the formatting of the forum and keeps us Mods happy(ish)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njugle Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Note: Image posting is a better time than ever to use the preview button before posting by using the submit button. Can save you a lot of hassle if anything hasn't worked as intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vik Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I dunna ken if others have raised this but like ebay - Shetlink photo uploads depend on resolution so if you lower the resolution of the picture it sends faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckleJoannie Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Using a lower resoltion also means that you don't need a wide screen monitor to se them when they are loaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BERSA Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 How do I stop getting all adverts sent to my email address? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 ^ Click on 'My Settings' in the drop down menu from your Username at the top right, then scroll down and select the 'Notification Options' sub heading on the left side, scroll down again and in the 'Classifieds' sub heading, uncheck the 'email' box against the 'Notify me of new classifieds in subscribed categories' line. Alternatively you can go in to each category index page in the Classifieds, and there's an 'Unsubscribe' button at the top right of the listings next to the 'Add an advert' one.

MPH services Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Can you use the Shetlink forum to begin trade agreement groups? Is there a sub -section or members forum available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH services Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 I've put this on the wrong page sorry. I was looking for information on private sub forums linked to a trade/commercial account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
