    I have a suggestion for PokeCommuniy. ImageShack.us has relesed insructions to put an image uploader by them on vbulliten. I thought it would be a VERY useful additon here.

    Here are the instructions:
    ImageShack.us said:
    These instructions will help you to install 'ImageShack on your Site' into the reply and post-new-thread sections of your vBulletin message board, thus giving your visitors the ability to upload images directly. After upload, they may paste the images directly into their post box. Step 1: Finding the background and text colors of your message board so that you may assign them to your iframe and have complete integration.


    1. Go to the reply or post-new-topic page.
    2. Hit print-screen. Open up a graphics-editing program such as Adobe Photoshop(tm).
    3. Open a new document and paste the print-screen data into it.
    4. Use the color selection tool to find the hexadecimal value of the color UNDER the posting box and ABOVE the "Submit" button: Click the eyedropper tool.

      Move it to the area mentioned above and click on the picture.

      In your software's toolbar, a new color loads.

      Click on this color, and you will see a hexadecimal value for bgcolor. You can also zoom in and find the color of your text this way.
    Step 2: Pasting the 'ImageShack on your Site' form inside your message board.

    1. Log into your admin cp, and click on Styles and Templates, then Style Manager.
    2. For the theme (or themes) that you would like to add the iframe to, select in the drop down box "Edit Templates". You should see a whole list of template groups now.
    3. Click the "[? ?]" on the "New Posting Templates".
    4. To add the box to the reply page, click edit on the bullet point that says "newreply".
    5. Search for this code:
      <fieldset class="fieldset"><legend>$vbphrase[miscellaneous_options]</legend> <div style="padding:$stylevar[formspacer]px"><if condition="$bbuserinfo['signature'] != ''"><div> <label for="cb_signature"><input type="checkbox" name="signature" value="1" id="cb_signature" tabindex="1" $checked[signature] />$vbphrase[show_your_signature]</label></div></if><div> <label for="cb_parseurl"><input type="checkbox" name="parseurl" value="1" id="cb_parseurl" tabindex="1" $checked[parseurl] /> $vbphrase[automatically_parse_links_in_text]</label></div> disablesmiliesoption</div></fieldset>

    6. Paste the iframe code DIRECTLY AFTER the instance mentioned above. Make sure to replace bgcolor and txtcolor with the information that you found in your graphics-editing program, so that it looks like this:
      <fieldset class="fieldset"><legend>Upload your images to ImageShack</legend> <div style="padding:$stylevar[formspacer]px"> <iframe src="https://www.imageshack.us/iframe.php?bgcolor=EAEAEA&txtcolor=000000" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" width="280" height="70"> You must have an iframe-compatable browser to view the ImageShack.us upload form.</iframe></div></fieldset>
      Click to expand...
    7. Click Save.
    8. To add the iframe in the new thread page, click edit on "newthread".
    9. Repeat steps 5, 6, and 7.
    10. Login to your message board as a regular user. Either click "Post New Thread" or reply to an existing thread in order to test out your new Image Hosting Service!

    Thats is good, since I always upload images by imageshack.us so it be good for using here on PC.
     
    whats the point, aside from them getting free advertising??

    PC has the attachment options and you can upload your image(s) through that..
     
    With invision free you could probably add it in like the footer of your page with the basic html that they provide.

    Here is the basic html:
    <iframe src="https://www.imageshack.us/iframe.php?bgcolor=FFFFFF&txtcolor=111111&type=blank" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" width="280" height="70"> You must have an iframe-compatable browser to view the ImageShack.us upload form.</iframe>

    The other thing is for vBulliten. What I just posted was the basic html which you should be able to put in the footer of your invisionfree board.

    Okay, thanks!

    do you know how to center it?

    forget it, I figured it out myself.

    But you can't put the image in your sig Steve. Like if some one upload a banner they wanted to use for their club the image would come up as a URL.

    I don't see much use for this (because if you were going to upload a banner or a pic then it dosen't take all that much time to go to ImageShack or Photobucket and upload it). But I guess it would make it easy for some members.

    lol

    Also, on topic, at least you get get rid of the sticky then
     
    Not Bad..Much Much Faster and a good idea too but as Steve said the Point of this is that Imageshack's gonna get a dam lot of Advertisemnt. A clever Ploy by them tough.I'm pretty neutral on this.
     
    I told my friend to put it in his forum. But, apparently, when you upload a pic through imageshack, it has a pop-up, as well as an on-page ad. You might consider that before you do anything.
     
    not bad but images are stored in the database.... runs a corruption issue risk.

    na, i still like the normal attachments and regular image hosting (for sigs) i really don't want to tie PC into some 3rd party vendor and theres enough free image hosting sites and/or webbys willing to host out there to do simple sig pics.
