HOW TO: Post Pictures on PV (Updated)

[luluthepug]

How do I make my signature picture a multiple picture? Do you have to use an outside editor to do that?

This is the method I used and, being new to PV, I only had about one post at the time I created the album so it seems there are no minimum post requirements. I was wondering why all the instructions covered the use of third party social networking and image hosting sites when you can create a PV photo album for other users to view (I know how PV members are very big on photos and photo sharing!) and use that as your means of embedding pictures.

Thank you SO MUCH!!!!! Those are terrific instructions!!!!!! Screen shots and everything!
I'm guessing the reason that so many of us use the third-party image hosting sites is because the PV Photo Albums are a relativly new addition and most of us "oldtimers" haven't played around with them yet. I'm assuming there is also a limit to how many pictures you can have in an album? I don't know that for sure though. I really need to go and educate myself on the albums and make a practice one just to see how they work.

I used Adobe Photoshop to make mine, but you can do this in any sort of photo editor you might have on your computer. Here is a thread with Q&A's on the signature pictures: HOW-TO: Add pictures to your signature

Your very welcome! Glad you found my instructions useful! It makes sense that you all aren't used to it if it's a newer feature, but it's easy to use so I encourage everyone to check it out. This way, anytime someone posts about their doggies I can just click on the profile and get a look or reminder of who their talking about. I don't know the limitations yet, so far I've only created to albums. One with 13 pictures and one with four.

Can you post a link to YouTube if you have a video there?

Can you post a link to YouTube if you have a video there?

Yes, you can. When typing out a message, there is a little "film strip" icon to use for inserting a video. It's between the "picture frame with a tree" and the white "quote." Just copy your video URL (address), come back here and click on the film strip, paste the video URL in the box that pops up and then it should show up in your message when you post it.
