Just now someone asked me how to upload a pictures and I know some of you seem to be having a problem with uploading pictures and signatures (I know I did when I first started on the forums^^)
This is a quick and simple guide to show you how step by step.
1. First of all know which picture you want :P
2. Next, go to http://tinypic.com/
3. Then upload your picture by clicking on the browse button. You can also chose the size you want your image to be. (don’t forget that the standard size for an Outspark sig should be no larger than 600X500 pixels. So choosing the 320X240 would be your best choice)
(Don't forget you can resize to a more precise size using your editing program, such as photoshop and paint.net ^^ but itis good for a quick resize)

4. Once you upload your picture you will get this screen;

Choose the link in IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards to paste the image directly.
Choose the link in Direct Link for Layouts to paste a direct link to your image;

Ex. http://i35.tinypic.com/24c6vl3.png


SIGNATURES;
At almost the top of the forum page you will see a horizontal grey bar with options, calendar, new posts, search, quick links and log out.
1. Click on Quick Links > Signatures

2. Then paste the link of your photo from the IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards
3. Customize your siggy as you please ^^

Remember: Avatars can only be personalized with photos outside of the given options by members of Outspark staff only.
( To the left of where you are editing your signature you should find and Edit Avatar option )

Well, I hope this helped you.
Know that there are other programs such as photobucket and imageshack.us with which you can upload. I use tiny pic and I find it very good. I don’t know if there will be a big difference with other programs. But in the end if it gives you a link with which to upload your pic it works just fine ^^ hehe.

I resize my pics with paint.NET

nice guide but should this be on fan art forums?

so do i normally resize with photoshop, but sometimes I decide on a last moment resize :P but yeah I should add that in the guide thanks for pointing it out Df001... *fixing guide ^^*

I didn't know where it was best to put it since uploading a pic isn't always necessarily fan art, but at the same time it is..lol i got confused :P So if a CL would kindly see where it is best and place it there for me it would be appreciated ^^

Another nice guide on how to upload screenshots and signatures on the forums. May I suggest that you also make a hyperlink under your signature for this guide also so no matter which section it maybe moved to, people will always have fairly easy access to this guide if they do not know the url address. You have become quite a talented Fiesta writer such as the story of Vietree Part 1 & 2 and this guide so far. Keep up the great work!

Strange how u didnt get it to work. Tiny pic is a really straight forward site. Did you make sure to use the right link?
If you still need help tell me what you did and I'll try see if I can help you with anything.
There are other sites with which you can upload pics. So if you are finding Tiny pic to be a problem maybe you'll find one of the other sites easier to follow. There are guides lurking somewhere on the forum to other upload sites.

Don't hesitate to ask if I can help you with something else :)

gallery > upload new image

you dont have to fill in the boxes if you dont want to. If you're really that lazy, just skip the titlebox, description, etc and select the screenshot file and click submit.
