How To Put Up Your Picture In The Oldies Music Board

Unfortunately, you can’t simply upload a picture from your computer to this board, unless it’s already online somewhere else. But there are a number of free services that let you do that and they’re not all that complicated. For those still confused about this process, let me try to provide a small tutorial.
 
Go to a site like https://imgbb.com/.
 
The first thing you’ll see is a huge message saying “Upload and Share Your Images.” Click on the blue “Start Loading” button.


 
This will bring up the last file you opened with .jpgs or .gifs in it, but you can always find the one you want on your computer, and when you do, click on it. In the case shown, I’m picking the KCBQ San Diego radio sticker. Hit “open” and the upload should start.



 

The next screen shows a fragment of your pic, with a green button that says Upload. Obviously, you want to hit that next. After a few seconds, you’ll see a sort of circular hourglass, as the upload to their servers begins.



 
 When it’s done, you’ll see a “viewer links” as part of a drop down menu. Make sure you choose the one that reads “BBCode full linked.” Only copy the first URL to the last /URL. There may be one underneath that says something like “statewide inventory" or something else. Ignore that one. Otherwise it will post an ad to your pic, which you don’t want.



 
Paste the code into your Oldies Music Board message. You can always add whatever text you want to go along with it as you normally do when posting a message, as long as you don't disturb the code you just pasted in.  
 
 
 
Hit "Preview" to see if it worked, then hit submit.
 
 

And the world can see what you want them to see!
