For those who knows what to do, but are getting the details wrong.Longer explanation by Tomas Kohout.- open your photo page (full size)
- copy address from addressbar (something like
http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/0000000.jpg) to clipboard (Ctrl+C)
- go to forum/group post
- click "insert image" icon on post toolbar
- in box on the left, click "URL"
- paste in editbox photo address, e.g.
http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/0000000.jpg- I strongly suggest you to change address to:
http://www.panoramio.com/photos/small/0000000.jpgOriginal source version is too large and loads a long time. Better use thumbnail, small or medium instead of original).
Guidelines for optimum size of photos posted in forum are not ready yet - we are discussing it with other moderators.
Also address of photo shall always start with
http://www.panoramio.com, not with anything else (to avoid problems in future).
- Photo sample shall appear below editbox
- Click "Select"
- Now click on photo in post
- In popup, select desired visual size: Small, Medium, Large, Original size.
I think Small or Medium is the best. Don't set larger size than you use for source.
- After that, click "Change" following photo link
- Change content in editbox to your Panoramio photo page
in context of this example it shall be:
http://www.panoramio.com/photo/0000000 (simply remove part of suggested address).
