Tip: how to test your photo posting before actually posting

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Leica Photography : One Thread

While I love to see the "photo critique" threads, I see people have trouble getting their photo postings to work. Here's a tip that will hopefully save some embarrassment:

You can test to see if your photo posting will work before posting it to this forum. If you have an html-enabled mail reader (most are), just send a message to yourself with the image tag in it. See Tony's Tutorial on how to make the img tag - notice that the "center" tags are optional. If the image doesn't show up in email you sent yourself, it won't show up here. Note: in yahoo mail you have to check "html tags allowed" before sending the message.

Another option is to use the preview feature available on some other forums. Once the HTML is de-bugged, you can either post or "back" out with the back button in your browser.

One such place is the Black & White Forum. Posts of B&W images are welcome there, BTW.
