HOW TO POST PHOTOS IN THE FENDER FORUM

A frequent issue at the Fender Forum is HOW TO POST A PHOTO.  Fender does not let you upload the photo to their site.  Other forums do the same thing.  So here is how to do it!

First, it is a good idea to RESIZE your photos before uploading them as a really huge photo widens the margins and make the entire thread a chore to read.  Maybe 600 wide is a good limit.  

To post photos on the Fender Forum they must be hosted online elsewhere like on a free Photobucket.com account. So go to PHOTOBUCKET to create an account, then upload your photos to your new account.  There are other free image hosting services also.  It really doesn't matter which one you use.

After uploading your photos to the third party image host you are ready to post your photos on Fender's forum and you may use the  following instructions.

1. Start a post.

2. Wherever in the post you want the photo to appear CLICK on the brown "IMG" toolbar button just under the SUBJECT line. (This opens a "Tag" that looks like this: "[img]" telling the browser to fetch & display the photo stored offsite within the tag.)

3. COPY the DIRECT LINK of your photo on the third party host which will start "http://www.whatever..." (To copy, left click and drag on the link to highlight the entire link and then right click on it and select copy, OR you can hit CONTROL and "C" simultaneously without right clicking at all. Both methods work on a PC. Also in most browsers you can just RIGHT click on the link and select COPY SHORTCUT.)

4. Paste the now copied link immediately past the "IMG" opening tag in the post. To paste it right click and select PASTE, or on PC's you can hit CONTROL and "V" simultaneously. Either method works on PC's.

5. Once your link is pasted LEFT LICK on the brown "IMG" button on the toolbar once again or click the text button that says "CLOSE TAGS."  (This finishes the image tag and will look like: "[/img]" in the message.) You can then resume typing. 

6.  When you think you are finished, click on the PREVIEW button to make sure your post looks the way you want.  If you are done typing and everything looks OK with the photo loading correctly, then click the SUBMIT button and it will be posted just as in the preview.
