Hosting images in a 3rd party location and linking to CGN forum
Before you can share an image on the internet, the image must be "hosted" by a server that makes the image accessible to the public.
You have a few choices:
1) Use a free image hosting site, such as Photobucket, Flickr
2) Use a share drive that allows people to share your file, such as google drive
3) Use CGN as your hosting site ( team members and limited use for Equipment Exchange users), please see: Instructions for Team Member
Using an Image Hosting Site
First of all, you need to register an account with an image hosting site, such as:
www.flickr.com
Some sites, such as Flickr, has their own mobile apps, which make uploading images from a mobile device easy.
Once you have opened an account, you need to "upload your images". You can either 1)provide a link to the location of your image( less time), or 2)displaying the image within your ad ( more time). With 1) people will need to click the link provided by you to see you image ( that is hosted outside of CGN)
Option 1
rovide a link to the location of your image
Most hosting sites allow people to "share" their images. You have to find the "share" button, copy the code and paste it directly to your ad.
For example, Flickr's will be something like this "https://flic.kr/p/xwyerex". Simply put this into your ad and people will be able to click the link to see your image at Flickr.
Option 2: Display the image within your ad
Using FlickR
The general idea is, after you have uploaded your images, you have to grab the URL of your images, such as http://----.com/image/xyz123.jpg
1) click the image icon
2) Insert the URL of your image to the blank space (eg, http://----.com/image/xyz123.jpg)
3) You text box will have a code like this: [img ] http://-----.com/image/xyz123.jpg[ /img] This is the code that links your image to the forum from the hosting site and displays the image.
