Easy instructions to post photos, for free, on Nomad
*If anyone who wants to put a photo in their post on Nomad tries this and has a problem still, let me know how to reword this so nobody has
difficulty placing a photo from their computer photos folder onto Nomad.
June 2019:
To post photos from your Pictures folder on your computer...
Go to www.Postimages.org, make an album if you want to organize your photos to find them easily in the future (by date or by subject). No cost to use
Postimages.org.
Change the upload setting from "Do not resize my image" to 640x480 (recommended for forums) or 800x600 (max. on Nomad). You click on the little arrow
to see the size choices.
Click "Choose images" and select the photos you want to put on Nomad from your Pictures folder.
Click on the image you want on Nomad and click on "Share" at the top of the screen.
Choose "Hotlinks for forums" (down next to the last one). You can click the little box at the right end of the link and it is now saved on your mouse.
Go to Nomad and paste that link onto the place where you are typing on Nomad. You can put text in below the photo for a caption or your post and if
you double space between photo links (for clarity), you can put several photos and captions in a single post on Nomad. You can click "Preview" on
Nomad to check and see how it will look before posting to the board.
If you need to fix a post after it is done, click on "Edit" along the edge of your post, and change or delete your post. If you edit more than once,
you can delete the previous Edited on tags so only one edit tag will appear after you edit the post.
If an image of the steps helps, I can add that, too.

Nice fish!!!

Wow, even a cave man can do it.
The question is, is it going to past our exulted rulers guidelines?
DK, is this OK with you? Did I pass or is there more to learn?

That one was shot in portrait mode. It's the ones you shoot in landscape that you'll have to watch out for.
Use this and you'll be fine. 800x narrows the display on the page.

I used Redbox last night. Haven't in years.
Use to be lines...
Are there any good movies anymore?
Cause that thing was full of cr*p!
Mission of Honor is ok. It has airplanes so that is usually all I need to be happy. But CG mostly...
Since DK clued us in about Instagram I am ruined. Tons of super interesting Baja stuff and a great way to connect...
That is fun! And simple.
I never use Facebook. I don't get it?
Twitter ain't for me either...
I love the personal nature of Baja Nomad. There are alot of nice and interesting people here.
And my primary interest in life is Baja.
And posting the pics is easy enough...

This comment is incorrect and not good advice, especially for anyone who posts on any other forums. Modern forums automatically resize the pics for
you. And they let ppl click on the photo to see it bigger. So you should NOT resize in postimages.org. Also, 640x480 is tiny. 800x600 is better.
Keep it the original size on the upload. To have it show up right here, use the comand: [img=800x]link-to-pic[/img]. 800x limits the photo width.

That size recommendation was from Postimages, not from me.

it seems that attaching an image directly from your computer seems easiest - rather than uploading it somewhere else first.
Uploading images to a host site bears the risk that if the site shuts down or cancels your membership, that those images are no longer seen on
BajaNomad and are possibly lost forever.
However, resizing the image(s) seems a challenge for some - even in the age of free and easy apps. But some still get stuck in Baja sand as well.

By hosting the photos on a third party site and hot linking them here, the quality remains high as there is no reducing the file size to 250 kbs as
Nomad requires. So many photos were lost that we hosted on Nomad when Doug updated the site some years ago. He said the photos were not lost, but he
needs time to retrieve them.

BajaMama, you missed changing the size part. Click on the box that says "Do not resize my image" and select 800 for the full width of Nomad or 640 for
a large photo that is not the full width.
