Ok, since most of the topics here in the Q&A are about pictures and NOBODY SEARCHES FOR THE ANSWER I am making this topic.

This will be the **ONLY** topic about pictures here in the Q&A. Everything you need to know about pictures is here, or is linked to in here.

Things we will NOT talk about here:
How does Brickshelf/Maj work? You can talk about that HERE
Where can I host my pictures? You can talk about that HERE

There are also many help items HERE - like how to convert BMP files to jpegs, and other image help.


So with that, here we go. First look at this - learn this, know this and love this:


That picture tells you what is what, and where it is.

Some of the stuff we will be covering is:

IMAGES AROUND MY NAME
  • What is an avatar, and how do I change mine?
  • How do I get the mask by my name?
  • How do I get the pictures under my rank?
  • What is the PE bar under my name?
  • What does the Online/Offline symbol mean?
  • How do I get that spinning Vahi, Avohkii, or Great Huna underneath my name?
SIGNATURES AND PERSONAL PHOTOS
  • How do I get a sig?
  • How do I get an animation in my sig?
  • How do I link images to use in my sig?
  • Am I allowed to use regular images (from the news articles and such) for avatars, sigs, etc.?
  • What are the size limits of sigs and avatars?
  • What info is there about the Personal Photo?
POSTING MY PICTURES
  • How do I post pictures, and what is the "Dynamic page" message?
  • Do I just copy an image's URL and post it?
  • How do I make a picture also be a link?
  • How do I get a picture from my computer to the web?
  • How do you get pics from the web to my computer?
  • How long do upload images remain on BZP?
  • How do I put emoticons in my post, and what is the limit?
EXTRA BUT USEFUL INFO
  • How do I get a still image from a moving picture?
  • How do you locate the properties (filesize, image size) of a flash image?
  • How do I work Flash, so I can make animations for BZP?
  • Is there anything else I need to know?
Now, onto the answers...

IMAGES AROUND MY NAME

What is an avatar, and how do I change mine?

An avatar is the image right below a member's name.
To change your avatar CLICK HERE. This will take you to your avatar settings that are located in your control panel. We have a HUGE selection of avatars you can use, but if you want to use your own you can. If you are a Premier Member, you can just upload your own avatar to BZP. If not, you have to upload it someplace else (I put a link to help on this above, in the what we will not be going over section). You must find the URL of your picture and put it in the spot where it says "Your image avatars". It should look something like this:
CODE
http://www.yourdomain.com/picture.jpg

Make sure you put the right size in the 'Avatar Dimensions'. If you do not know how to do that look at one of the links I gave you above. When you are all done make sure you hit the 'Add this avatar to my profile' button to save your changes. You are all set now.

Check here for more details.

On a sidenote, if you use an avatar made by someone else, it is best if you have that person's permission.

Also, you may not use the avatar from a Admin, Moderator or ST. If you do this we will think you are trying to act like them or pretend you are them - and this is not allowed at all.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How do I get the masks by my name?

See this:


You can't add them, so do not even try. There are topics about what they mean; do a search for them. This is not the topic to talk about what they mean. Also, you may not use them in your avatars or sigs at all unless you have earned them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do I get the pictures under my rank?

You can get the rank image by being a Premier Member or an Outstanding BZP Citizen (OBZPC). You can't add them on your own, so do not worry about it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is the PE bar under my name?

It stands for Proto Energy, and it is covered in this topic over here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What does the Online/Offline symbol mean?

If the symbol is gold, the member is signed in. If the symbol is gray, the member is either currently not signed in or is Anonymous, which means the member checked the box marked, "Don't add me to the active users list" when she/he signed in.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do I get that spinning Vahi, Avohkii, or Great Huna underneath my name?

Members get the spinning Vahi by their name only after being here for one year. You can't add it, and you can't use it in your avatar or sig either unless you have earned them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SIGNATURES AND PERSONAL PHOTOS

How do I get a sig?

To add or edit your sig CLICK HERE. That link will take you to the page where you can change your sig in your control panel. You just type it in where it says "Edit your signature" just like you were making a post, but make sure you follow the sig rules.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do I get an animation in my sig?

You can put animated images in sigs the same way you put in any other image. Check the Q&A topic directory for topics on how to animate images. For flash images, use this:

CODE
[FLASH=width,height]URLoffile[/FLASH]


Put the width and height where indicated. The max size is 200x100.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do I link images to use in my sig?

That is covered in THIS TOPIC
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Am I allowed to use regular images (from the news articles and such) for avatars, sigs, etc.?

As long as you don't Direct Link to BZP.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What are the size limits of sigs and avatars?

Avatars and Signatures filesize may not pass 100 KB COMBINED Unless the avatar is one of the default ones, it must be within these limits: 64 x 64 for non-Staff, 80 x 80 for Support Team, and 100 x 100 for Moderators. Administrators and Assistant Administrators have different rules.

Your entire signature is limited to a space of 800x300 pixels. You can use any combination of images and text to fill this area, so yes, this means you could have a signature up to 800x300 (however you could not have additional text then). You still need to follow the 100KB rule though.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What info is there about the Personal Photo?

The Personal Photo will allow you to specify a photo to be used in your profile which is viewable by other board members. Personal Photos do not necessarily have to be an actual photo of you: it can be an avatar or whatnot, as long as it's within the rules.
  • All photos must be no larger than 100 KB.
  • Photos must be no bigger than 250 pixels by 250 pixels.
  • Allowed file types: .gif, .jpeg, .jpg, and .png
You can change it by clicking on the link or by going to My Controls, then scroll down to Change Personal Photo.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POSTING MY PICTURES

How do I post pictures, and what is the "Dynamic page" message?

You post pictures by pressing the IMG button that is above where you type in your post. You must know the URL (where the picture is on the web) to post a picture. If you do not know how to find the URL look in the topics I linked to above - they will tell you how to find that out. When you click the IMG button a popup will appear, put the URL of yur picture in that box and hit OK. You will end up with something like this:
CODE
[IMG]http://www.YourDomain.com/YourPicture.jpg[/IMG]

Note that only .gif, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, and .swf files work here. Bmp ones will not, as they take a lot of space and load time.

If you get the "Sorry, Dynamic pages in the [img] tags are not allowed" message, it is usually caused by one of two things...
  • The URL you are using is for a webpage containing the image that you want to insert, intead of for the actual image. Make sure that the URL is for the image (if it is, it should have some standard image file extension at the end, like .jpg or .gif).
  • It's a problem with editing your sig, and you have a quiz banner already there causing problems. If this is the case, you'd just remove the quiz banner, edit your sig, and put the banner back.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do I just copy an image's URL and post it?
You may copy an image from your site or a hosting site; otherwise, it is Direct Linking. For more information about Direct Linking, GO HERE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do I make a picture also be a link?

This is a two step process. I will go over the easy way. First, act like you are putting a picture in a post - use the IMG button. After that you should have this:
CODE
[IMG]http://www.yourdomain.com/picture.jpg[/IMG]

Then, either cut or copy that and then hit the URL tag. When it asks for the http:// code, put the URL of what you want to link to, then hit OK. It will now say 'My Webpage' Put the IMG code there and then hit ok. you should have something that looks like this:
CODE
[URL=http://www.WhereYouWantToLinkTo.com][IMG]http://www.YourDomain.com/YourPicture.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Or, you can just copy that and put the correct info in.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do I get a picture from my computer to the web?
To get a picture here, you must do one of two things:
  • Upload directly by being Premier; for more info on this, GO HERE
  • Upload to a hosting site, then copy and paste the URL.
More details are covered in THIS TOPIC.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do you get pics from the web to my computer?

Right click on the image.
Save it to your computer.
You now have the image.
If you wish to use the image in BZPower, upload it to Brickshelf. Read the Help topics for instructions on how to display, or link to an image. Follow the instructions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How long do upload images remain on BZP?
  • Avatars that are uploaded will stay until you remove them.
  • Attached Images disappear after a Month, even if you're still Premier.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do I put emoticons in my post, and what is the limit?

To get emotions that are not already in the bar to the left of the posting text box click the "show all" link... There's alot of em in there... The current limit is fourteen or fifteen, but let's not go overboard and abuse the system; please try to only use a moderate amount.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXTRA BUT USEFUL INFO

How do I get a still image from a moving picture?
When the moving picture gets to the point you want, press the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard, which will save the image. Then paste the image in a paint program.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do you locate the properties (filesize, image size) of a flash image?
There are two ways you can do this:
  • You could right click on the page (not on an image) and select View Source to see the HTML.
  • The file is also stored in your browser cache if you want to look at it, but it could be scaled on the page, so the sizes could be different.
Also, let it be known that you may use flash files if they do not disrupt the viewer, may that be automatically playing music, closing the window, or causing pop-ups. This is prohibited-- if you don't know whether it's ok, ask an ST or Q&A moderator. Don't take chances.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do I work Flash, so I can make animations for BZP?

Here is a tutorial recommended by Gorn.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is there anything else I need to know?

When quoting someone with a picture in the post, DO NOT keep the picture in the reply. Go down to the Quote box and delete it, or better, link it. The reason for not quoting pictures is that it takes more time to upload for the people with slow connections, and it's not really needed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think that should cover it. If for some reason you still have a question then post it - but just make sure you read what I put up. There's no sense in asking an already answered question. Any question not related to pictures should be searched for in the FAQ, then asked in the New Member Q&A if it's not found there, unless it has nothing to do with BZP, then don't ask it there either.

Fixed majhost links.

Yeah, well most of the time members dont read the Q&A Topic Directory or other helpfull pinned topics. They dont really pop out of the other topics and members just post their questions. Maybe it would be a good idea to give pinned topics an other color like blue or red.

You can not use someone elses custom avatar. I don't know if it's a rule (it should be) but it is a general polite rule to have. If someone is using your avatar pm him and ask him to remove it.

Members get the spinning Vahi by their name only after being here for one year. You can't add it, and you can't use it in your avatar or sig either.

Does that include one-year members or not?

I'm pretty sure you can. I know one of the admins said it was okay for mods and STs to use their Mask symbols (by their names) since they earned it, so I'm sure that it applies to the 1-year icon too. Come to think of it, I think I saw a Mod using the Vahi, ST Huna, and Mod Hau in his sig. I believe it was Crankenstein, but he must've changed it by now.

This is usually caused by one of two things...
  • The URL you are using is for a webpage containing the image that you want to insert, intead of for the actual image. Make sure that the URL is for the image (if it is, it should have some standard image file extension at the end, like .jpg or .gif).
  • Its a problem with editing your sig, and you have a quiz banner already there causing problems. This isn't the case for you, but if it were, you'd just remove the quiz banner, edit your sig, and put the banner back.

You can put animated images in sigs the same way you put in any other image. Check the Q&A topic directory for topics on how to animate images.

One more thing Mfuss, since this is about images you might as well include a part about emoticons...
To get emotions that are no already in the bar to the left of the posting text box click hte "show all" link...
There's alot of em in there...
I'm proud to say that all the morphing ones, like the Jala used above have me made by none other than myself!

Well, I've gotta question, if you post like, say a pic of Takanuva, and if you click right mouse button and go to properties, it says like www.bzp.com/stories/Takapic214213 is it direct linking then?

Well, if you're not direct-linking, then the url shouldn't be from BZPower. It should be from your image hosting site. For example, one of my pics would be www.picturevillage.com/sdfdsfdsfd.gif. The url shouldn't be from BZP unless it is an attached file or an uploaded avatar.

O.K. people what you see below is an exact copy of a topic I made in art a month ago about this.
It got unpinned because of space issues...
------------------

How to get a custom avatar

__________________________________________________

Step #1: Requesting

Find an avatar shop, a friend, or just a good artist on BZPower.
Post or PM them the criteria of your request and wait for it's completion...

Getting an avatar out of a movie or game (By Lehvak25) :
When you are at your preffered frame at the movie/game press PrtSc (Print Screen) - It's located above Delete.
Open a new bitmap image and press ctrl+v. If the program says that the bitmap is too large click yes.The use to selection tool. It's the highest right icon on the toolbar.Select the face you want and make sure it's square enough. Then follow on to the last step and you're done!


__________________________________________________

Step #2: Receving

After your avatar is complete it will be ether PMed to you or posted into the topic of the shop you requested it from.
You will most likely just be given the image, but to use it you need the URL...

__________________________________________________

Step #3 Getting to Properties

To get the URL of your image you must right click the image.
A menu will pop out of your cursor, chose "Properties".

Reference 1

__________________________________________________

Step #4 Obtaining the URL

Once in the properties menu you will be presented with the "Spec's" of the image...
Simple select the Labeled URL and copy it...

Reference 2

__________________________________________________

Step #5 Getting to the Control Panal

Near the top of your current BZP page you will see a link to your contorl panal...
Click it...

Reference 3

__________________________________________________

Step #6 Getting to the Avatar Settings

In the side bar of your control panal select the link that says:
"Edit Avatar Settings"

Reference 4

__________________________________________________

Step #7 Changing the Avatar Settings

Go down to the section that says:
"Your image avatars"
Paste your URL in the first text box...
In the "Width x Height" area put the number 64 in each...
That is the defalt size for all BZP avatars...

Reference 5

__________________________________________________

Step #8 Confirming the Avatar Settings

The next step is simple...
Just click buttion at The bottom of the screen that says:
"Add this avatar to my profile"

Reference 6

__________________________________________________

Step #9 Your Finished

Thats it! Your done!
Enjoy your new avatar for all of BZP to see!

__________________________________________________

-Timboman2000

P.S. I think it would be a good Idea to pin this...

Okay, I have a few questions:
1. I've seen pics, still(not moving), from the middle of an update or vido or somthing. How would one go about doing that?
2. How would one get an animated pic on your singe?
3. For that matter how would one make animation out of many clips?
Sorry if any of these questiones have asked before. skk.gif

Okey-dokey, here's your answers:
1. Well, during an update or movie on Bionicle.com, at the point you want, press the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard, which will save the image. Then paste the image in a paint program.
2. Get a flash file, and then use the code:
CODE

I've read the description of how to get images from the game but I don't understand it, how do you open a new Bitmap image I don't get it

when they mean that, it means you open MSPaint, then paste the whole image in there. That should be it smile.gif skk.gif

link it then wink.gif

when it means Dynamic pages, it means
CODE
http://www.blahblahblah.109.sm/anywhere.html
. When it's a legal image code, it'll say
CODE
http://www.blahblahblah.109.sm/anyimage.(place either gif, jpg, jpeg or png)
. So in other words, it's a difference in extention smile.gif skk.gif

This has nothing to do with pictures, but:

Many things can get you banned, including:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Saying something like "I wanna be banned!"

Breaking the rules a lot on purpose (such as: multiple posting in a row, when you know it's wrong)

Posting innapropriate content.

Flaming member(s) a lot.

Use of bad language.

Excessive lying to other members.

Is it a bitmap (.BMP) image? They aren't usable on BZP, so if it is, then change it's format to a JPEG or a GIF file. Are you pasting the picture's URL correctly? Make sure of those things before posting again.

I hope I did it right. I just wanted to test.

Edit: it didn't work right so here: http://www.villagephotos.com/image.asp?id_...LVCPGHMNPTQQPDQ Thanks to Israeli Toa for help.
I'm still confused I right click the image i have at village photos and select properties. I bring up the img box type in the URL found in properties and it still says that dynamic thing.

At Village Photos, you don't right click it to get the URL, if you to that, then it won't work. Instead, click the picture then click the text that says it will take you to the URL Page. There has the image URL, the link to the image, and various other URLs. Copy the first one (one that is a link) and put that one in the IMG file. Get it?

Okay, real quick question about Images in Sigs. Do .swf files count as images in the 1 image rule or not? I'd asume they would, but I don't know for sure, since it doesn't say anything about that in the Sig guidlines topic in the Reference Desk. Thanks in advance.

Read the beginning of this topic, you get those images the same way you get any other ones. Make sure you also read the links Mfuss provided.

lone ranger, posting in less than 10 words or posting something that is pointless or doesn't portain to the topic is called spam, and it is not allowed. Also, posting more than once in a row is also forbidden. I suggest that you visit the Reference Desk, which contains information that is useful for new members, and will help you stay out of trouble. Also, your signature and avatar have directly linked images, so I'd suggest that you change them. (for more info on direct linking and what it is, visit this thread). Almost forgot, Welcome to BZP, I hope you have a great time. smile.gif

Well, like this topic explains, after you have the picture and the url of the page you're going to link the pic to, put them together in this format:

CODE
[url=url of the web page][IMG]url of the picture[/IMG][/url]

None of the image hosting sites that Dimesioneer showed work except for Village Photo's which shuts down all your picture after you've been on it too long. Can someone else give me a good one?

I know for a fact that B-shelf, Village Photos, and Deviant Art all work well.....the VP bandwidth thing doesn't occur unless you use it a ton in one day......

I suggest you go to Freewebs.com and make a website, it's really easy, and then upload images to that site, free of charge. That's what I generally do, and it works well.

I started my account, but I don't know how to upload pictures.

Never mind, i found out how. However, my parents don't trust brickshelf, or any site were you must give away even the most microscopic piece of personal information. has brickshelf ever scammed (or spammed) anyone? Please tell me.

It says the URL for my comic (when I tried to post it up) was unnacceptable. Do I have to try again, putting in a different URL?

Make a new folder, and then click upload in the corner. Browse and select what you what to upload off your computer, then it will be hosted........
