Ok, this is a quick run-through on how you can share your pictures of your G20 to us fellow enthusiasts!
Please, when posting pictures keep the size to a reasonable level, and make sure to make connection warnings as well (56k warning's).
Also, it makes it a lot easier to comment on pictures if you number them accordingly 1,2,3... etc. It keeps down on having the same picture load up 6 times every page from people quoting, this kills the download time for the thread.
To begin you must have a host for your pictures. This is basically an online computer that holds your file for you to share it over the internet. YOU CAN'T HOST PICTURES DIRECTLY OFF YOUR DESKTOP PC. Some good hosts are www.photobucket.com, http://imageshack.us/, or if you BECOME A SPONSOR you can use g20.net's very own gallery. Once you have the file uploaded to a particular site you must find the image url (right click, Copy Image Location). Once you have that go to your new thread and click this button here:
That will bring up this prompt, this is where you enter your images url
That will surround the url with IMG tags which basically tells the forum that this is a picture and to allow it to load.
If you choose to use Photobucket, which I personally pay for and support fully as they are probably the best out there, they will actually have the links that you need sitting right there under the picture... like so.
Hopefully this will help everyone share their wonderful photography with all of us.
