Frequently Asked Questions

1. Upload an image into your gallery.
2. Go to the page where comments are added to the picture that you uploaded.
3. Now make a copy of the contents of your browser's address bar. It will be something like http://www.myfinepix.co.uk/gallery/70/51168 but the numbers will be different. Paste the string into e.g. Notepad so you can get at it later. You don't need to save the Notepad document, just keep it accessible.
4. Right click the image and choose "Properties". Look for the address of the image and copy and paste it into Notepad. It will be something like this: http://www.myfinepix.co.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/preview/gallery/70/imgp4257.jpg. Make sure you get the whole thing from the http... to the ...jpg.
5. Now go to the IHC registtation thread and scroll down to the posting text box.
6. Type Mines in <Enter>
   
7. Paste in the string you got from the address bar in step 3 <Enter>
   
8. Click the "Insert image" icon (it looks like a monitor)
9. In the Image URL box, paste the string you got from the Properties in step 4.

Edit the address (keeping the same number where I have put XXXXX). Change it to this:

and press Enter and it will let you delete it.

When you open a thread to start a photoblog, it looks exactly like any other thread that you use on the Forums. To start you will probably want to put some text to introduce the theme of the blog. When you have finished the text section press return/enter to move the cursor down so that the picture you are about to put in has space. Do not save at this stage, add your photos and text before saving anything.

To insert a photo you click on the little tree, which will open a box which may look a little confusing.

Where i have circled the little box on the side, click on this and then on 'Upload' at the top. When you do this a browse button will appear, browse your files until you find the photo you want to insert into your blog, click, then click 'Upload', when the upload has finished a preview will appear bottom right, once this is visible click on 'Send to Tinymce' at the top, then on 'Insert' at the bottom.

Your photo should now be under your text. (Do not press save)

and if you click on return a couple of times the cursor, which was at the end of your photo, will move down a couple of spaces this will give you more space and then you can  type a bit more of your 'story'. Do not press save

Then repeat the "insert a photograph" process by clicking on the little tree and getting another photo into the same comment box.

Repeat the moving of the cursor a couple of spaces down to give you space for more words and then more pictures. Repeat this as many times as you want adding text and pictures but do not click on save until the whole thing is finished. When you are happy then press Save and all the photos and all the text will be in your photoblog.

Edited.- If you start with text then the photos will all be hidden and folk must click to see them. If you start with a photo it depends on the height of the photo whether it will show on it's own, or several will show, or the next in line will show. It seems that if the first photo is too big lengthwise, the second photo may be shown.

There are two reasons why the EXIF data doesn't show.
1) It may have been removed by your editing software. Some software removes the EXIF if you tell the software to "Prepare image for web", some (usually older software) doesn't know what it is and strips it out.
2) If your camera is not a Fuji camera then MyFinepix will not show the EXIF data.
