In summary, the conversation is about someone wanting to post their picture, and another person provides instructions on how to do so. The original person successfully posts their picture without providing a link, which leads to confusion and admiration from others.

You want to post your picture?
If yes then save your picture on your computer then go to this site:

Hit browse (you might have to register first) and find your picture file name. Then hit host it. Now all you have to do is copy and paste the link the site gives you for your picture when your typing your message.

FAQ: How Do You Upload a Picture to a Member Photo Thread?
What is the best file format for uploading pictures?
The most commonly used and recommended file formats for uploading pictures are JPEG, PNG, and GIF. JPEG is best for photographs and images with lots of colors, PNG is better for images with transparent backgrounds, and GIF is ideal for animated images.
How do I resize my picture before uploading it?
There are several ways to resize your picture before uploading it. You can use photo editing software such as Photoshop or GIMP, or you can use online tools like PicResize or Canva. Just make sure to maintain the aspect ratio to avoid distorting the image.
Is there a limit to the size of the picture I can upload?
Yes, most websites and platforms have a limit on the size of pictures that can be uploaded. This is usually measured in megabytes (MB) or kilobytes (KB). It is important to check the size limit before uploading to ensure your picture will be accepted.
Can I upload pictures from my phone?
Yes, you can upload pictures from your phone as long as you have an internet connection. Most smartphones have a default photo size which may need to be reduced for optimal uploading. You can also use editing apps or online tools to resize the photo before uploading.
How do I make sure my picture is not pixelated after uploading?
To avoid pixelation, make sure to upload your picture in its original size or a high-resolution version. If you need to resize the picture, use a photo editing software or online tool that allows you to maintain the image quality. You can also check the resolution of the uploaded picture and adjust it accordingly.
