FFR Image Uploading and PostingQuick StartDesigned from the ground up to be as simple as 1,2,3. Most likely, you will need no instruction.
- Add your images.
- Upload your images.
- Insert your images in your post.
Highlights- Multiple image files are accepted up to a 5MB user limit. Please consider the size of your image files before you upload them.
- Three versions are saved: a 150px thumbnail, an up to 800px by 600px post-able image, and the original, which is viewable via the clicked image.
- The image(s) must reside on your device initially; direct upload from another site is disallowed.
- The upload process will work differently depending on: your device, your Operating System and your browser software.
- Images can be added one at a time, or as a set, either by selection or drag and drop onto the uploader page.
- Previews are shown, allowing you to make adjustments to your image selection(s) before you upload them.
- Your choice to either upload one or all.
- Your choice to add thumbnails or regular sized images to your post.
- For most, tapping or clicking the appropriate image size will automatically insert the appropriate code in your post at the point where your cursor is placed. Some users may have to copy the code into their post, using image tags.
- Warning: Make sure all your images have been inserted into your message before preview, as the original codes will no longer be available. (You are still free to re-upload and insert.)
- Warning: Please do not hotlink to FFR hosted images at any other site (such as eBay). You are free to link to your forum post.
- Warning: Uploaded images cannot be: renamed, moved, or deleted; please plan ahead. (Of course, you may still edit your posts, should you so need.)
- If a user posts multiple images in a topic, these images are connected when viewed as a gallery or slideshow.
- If you do not wish to, or cannot use the uploader with your device/OS/browser combination, you can still use previous methods, such as Imgur.
- Your use of this service is solely for images that you personally own or that you have obtained full use permissions from the image creator/owner. Substantiated claims of copyright infringement will result in us removing the image(s). Multiple infractions will result in a forum ban.

You can then start again, if you wish.

You will see the code appear in your message.
When you have inserted all your images into your post, you may use the "Preview" button to check your post. This will allow you to correct any errors or alignment issues before you "Submit" the post.
Viewing Posted ImagesClicking on an thumbnail or full image in a post will take you to a window displaying the original image. If a user posted more than one image, these images can be viewed either as a gallery or a slideshow by using the buttons above the image.
[screenshot to be added: gallery.jpg]In conclusionImage uploading is a service to be used in conjunction with posting in the Fiberglass Flyrodders (FFR) forums. By uploading your images, you are allowing FFR to display your images as part of the forum discussions. FFR will not use your images outside forum discussions without your written permission. While FFR is operational, we will do our best to preserve your photos as you uploaded them. However, FFR is not responsible if the images on our servers are lost or corrupted. Please ensure you retain copies of your images.
