Thread: PimpandHost.Com

Please visit our friends at https://pimpandhost.com/. They are one of our favorite image hosts.

An image host is a website that stores any images you upload and gives you different sets of codes to share those images. Forums typically use BB-code for forums so it is important you select that type of code and select the size (250 is typical for thumbnail photos) and simply paste it in the large white box before you submit your post. You may add text above and below the image code which will appear as text on top or the bottom of your images.

Let's walk through the steps you'll need to use P&H.

1. You'll see this page when you first go to P&H.



2. I highly recommend you register in order to access all your files and you get some perks too. Registration is free and easy.

3. Once registered your page will look slightly different with a green box at top right which is a drop down menu with all the info about your account and the sign out button.

4. The upload button is also green and to the left of the top bar. Try it a few times and you'll see how easy it is to upload your images. Once you have uploaded images the page will look like the following:



5. Once your images are ready the page will look like this.



6. Wait for the blue progress bars to disappear and then you're ready to copy paste the code. You will see 4 different icons under where it says 'add images'. Select the first one after the white box (place mouse arrow over the icon and it will say 'Get Share Codes for this Album'). The icon looks like this ...



7. You'll see the codes (in a big white box below the size options) after you select the share icon. You want to click on the BB CODE tab. You'll notice the code in the big white box and there is a little copy button on the top right side of the code located within the white box. (There is a copy button above where is says Album Link ... DO NOT USE THIS!) Click the copy button that is right beside the code in the white box to copy the code and then paste the code in your post and submit. (Notice the size choices. Typically 250 is a good thumbnail size. I'm using 500 for these demonstration pics so you can see them clearly without clicking on the picture.

We are fortunate to have https://pimpandhost.com/ as an added feature to our forum as an easy Image Uploader. When you are going to post images to any thread you always have the option to use the Browse button below every new post. Click it and upload your images to https://pimpandhost.com/ the same way you would if you were to go to https://pimpandhost.com/ and sign in. The difference is that you will not be signed in so you won't be able to keep track of the images you post using Image Uploader.

I used Image Uploader above for the example photos. It's a quick an easy way to post images to the forum.

Sample sizes using pimpandhost ....

Reminder ....

When you want to post a single or a few pics you may use our Image Uploader feature.

If you are posting an image look at the below the white dialog box and you'll see 'Image Uploader' with a Browse button. Click the Browse button and select your images. It takes just a few seconds to upload your image and then you can select BB Code for forums. Copy and then paste the code in the white dialog box and hit 'submit reply' and it will add your images to your post. It's fast and gives you a good selection of sizes for your images.
