How to enlarge and make pictures bigger on this site?

[Deleted]

I need help on how to make picture bigger on here because everytime I try posting a image it's looks way too small.

You need to enlarge it BEFORE you insert your image here at the Domain, whether that be on your computer, phone or a photo hosting website such as IMGUR. Do you use a photo editing software on your computer or phone? If you do then just resize the pic size and save it out. If your using a photo hosting website such as IMGUR, then you should have the ability to resize there as well. Then simply insert image here at Domain using the direct link.

P.S.  I find that if I want to fill up most of the screen with just one photo, that 800 X 600 pixels to be a good size to resize to.

I don't use any of those software on my computer. I will try my best to use the imgur site that you mentioned.

Most computers these days come with a basic photo editing software. With windows 8 or 10 it is Photo Gallery or something like that I believe. I personally use Irfanview on mine which I've used forever and am used to.  IMGUR is a good free website to host all your pics on and especially for posting pics on the Domain as you will need to insert a link which is easily provided to you using IMGUR.


Question, how have you been posting pics up to now?

 I been using the computer file on my computer.

Ok.. so your just using the add attachments feature, now it makes sense. When using the add attachment feature all uploaded files will be in the form of an Thumbnail (small sample). In other words, it does not matter what size the picture is on YOUR computer then it will be inserted as a thumbnail size. To make it bigger everyone will have to just click on the thumbnail pic and it then refresh as the original size on your computer



Here is a picture I have that I direct linked from IMGUR:





Here is the same pic when I use the attachment feature on Domain from my computer which is the same size as the one I have on IMGUR.  Try this. Just click on the one below and wallaaa.. bigger, magic.

If you want it to display bigger from the get go then you will have to use a picture hosting website like IMGUR.

I don't really know how to use imgur but you can show me one of these days.

Using IMGUR to host and link pictures to message boards.


Ok Brute, I'll try to walk you thru using IMGUR the best I can using illustrations. These will be thumbnail pics so you will have to click on the image to make it larger. Take notes on a piece of scratch paper if you need to.

First step will be to go to the IMGUR website and create an account (username, password etc.)

Once you've created an account you should see this at the upper right side of the screen. You should see your username above the red arrow (see below). click on your username.





Now you will see a drop down box with several selections. Click on "Images".






Now, since you won't have any images YET. you will need to click on "Add Images" 



Continued on next screen below.

Next, you will need to click on "Browse" to browse your computers picture file to select your picture.





Next, choose your picture where ever you keep them and click "Open".





Continued on next screen below.

[tom]

Ok.  Following so far?

Once your picture is uploaded to IMGUR you should see it on the top of your images screen.  




If you want to add more images then click on "Add images" again and go thru the steps again. If not, then double click on your picture and you will see a screen like this (below) Click "COPY" next to direct link.



Go back to the Domain where you are creating your post and click on the little icon. See red arrow.

[tom]

Ok... final step and were done.  After clicking on the little icon that looks like a picture frame you should see a screen like this below. Right click and paste the Direct Link you copied on IMGUR into the box (see red arrow). Next, click on "Insert image". That's it. Now save your post. 




Remember.. resize your picture to an acceptable size to fit on the screen otherwise it will be hard to see it if everyone has to scroll down to see it all.

Thanks alot Tom you're a lifesaver.

I did not have to create an imgur account, i just use it automatically, just browse the pic, and i dont even need to resize the pic, i just copy and paste the Imgur link to this site and thats it, just hit browse here...

imgur.com/upload

[tom]

Yeah you can do that but if you want to create an album of pics for future use its easier to create a account.

[King Kodiak]

Thats true Tom.

Brute: i will try to explain to you how to post the pics larger. Dont put the link of the pic where you write the message. Hit the image button that i put in a square, insert image. See those letters “http” that i show with an arrow? Delete those letters and put the link right there. Try it bro.

[BruteStrength]

Ok I will give it a try.
