Most frequently I start by copying them from my camera to my computer.
- Then I go to my BYC profile picture section and open the album I want to use.
- Then click the Add Photos button. On the next page select an existing album, create a new one or switch to a different one than you started in. Then click the Select Photos button.
- Navigate to the folder with the picture(s) you want and choose one or more from your computer (Ctrl-left mouse button for Windows, Apple-left mouse button for MACs for multiples)
- Then click the Upload button on the BYC page. It will give you the opportunity to put in a description if you like after the photo(s) have been uploaded.
- Now the picture(s) is/are in BYC.
When you are posting and click the photo icon (leftmost icon in the section of the editor where the smilies are) you can choose from 3 options to embed photos:
1) Upload files. If you click this it will put you into the "select from your computer" thing from above. Once one or more are selected, it will upload them to your post but will not keep them in your BYC albums.
2) "My recent photos"
- The most recent few show up and you can choose one. Clicking on it will complete this step. But you can click "more" and work through your photos and select multiples by clicking the box in the upper left of each. To get to the next page of photos use the little >> icon below the last photo on the right. When you have selected your photos, click the Next button.
- Choose a display size (medium is pre-selected). The actual file size doesn't change no matter what you choose here. When you see pictures in the forum and click on them, you can see the original size either by clicking with the mouse if a magnifying glass with a + in it shows up, or there might be a link for "view original" below it. I haven't figured out why these two options happen in BYC yet. It seems like sometimes you get put into the image as one of all the images in the thread(?) and can go forward and backward, then chose close (upper right above picture) when you are done. And sometimes it just shows the single image (this is where the magnifying glass shows up).
3) Put the URL (web address) of a picture in the "'paperclip' an image URL" box. Use this if you already uploaded the pictures to some other picture site like Flicker.
- Find a web page with a picture you want
- Right mouse on the image
- View image (at least that is what it is called in Firefox) . You can sometimes skip this step but sometimes copying the image location here can get you a link, not the actual image.
- Right mouse on the image and choose "Copy image location".
- Ctrl-V (Windows) Apple-V (Mac) in the "An image URL" box and Click "Use URL"
Yesterday's feed and housing payments. Bottom one is from Clemence - a Faverolle, The massive one is from my smaller Australorp. She usually lays a bit smaller than the EE to that egg's left. She worked overtime!
