To post an image at NatureScapes.Net, the photo must first be hosted on the internet. This can occur on your own website or on a personal online gallery that allows image linking from other sites. For those unable to host their images in another manner, one of the benefits of paid membership at NatureScapes.Net is the image upload service, where members can upload their images to be hosted on the NatureScapes.Net server.

The image must conform to the size and dimension guidelines for image posts. Go to the appropriate image critique forum and select “New Topic”. To have the image show up in the forums, the URL of where the image is hosted must be placed into the message text box. The URL should also have bulletin board “image tags” to inform the forum software this is an image to be displayed. [img] should precede the URL, and [/img] should succeed it. For example, this is similar to what you might see in the text box:

[img]http://www.mysite.com/image.jpg[/img]

If you are a paid member then you have the opportunity to upload your image directly by browsing for your image on your local computer. Click the "Browse" button to locate your image and the "upload" to place it on our server. The image URL, with the above tags, will then be placed in the message field.

Type in the remaining text to accompany your post. At the bottom of the pane select “Preview” and your image with text should appear. If text is showing up but the image is not:

Make sure the image tags have been typed in correctly.
Make sure that “BB Code” is enabled for your post. (There is a checkbox below the message pane.)

Select preview again, and if the image still does not show up, go to the URL of the image. In the case above, this would be http://www.mysite.com/image.jpg. If the image shows up on the screen, it should be appearing properly. Please email us for further troubleshooting. If it does not show up, the URL may have a typo, please confirm the correct URL for the image and try again.
