Editor view of BB code behind multiple pictures
My friend Bill is hoping to figure out how to work with pictures faster on forums so I'm sharing with him how I post multiple pictures quickly.
First you need to put all the pictures you're going to use in a single folder and rename them a file name that is the same except for one digit in the name.
For the recent 1957 Belair I shared I named each picture this,
Tims57Chevy001.jpg
You can see this if you "Quote" me in a reply and then click to the "Editor Mode" offered in Internet Explorer. Might be available in other browsers but not ALL editing and formatting options in vBulletin are available in all browsers so I use the browser that enables all options and that's I.E., don't care if you like it or not, it works for me.
Here's a screen shot of me quoting me...
Now I'm going to click on Editor Mode and take a screenshot to show you what the code looks like.
If you look, all the code for each picture is the same except the last digit or digits depending upon how many pictures I'm using.
By doing this I can simply insert a single photo, usually the first photo ending in 001 and then after inserting the photo so that it has the correct opening and closing tags I can then copy and paste this single line of code for the number of pictures I want to insert and then go through each line of code and change only the last digit or digits to make all of the pictures show up.
You think this is time consuming? All the other ways are slow, this IS the fast way to create a thread with a lot of pictures and some of my threads have 100+ pictures so I need a method to the madness for speed.
Take a look at the last digits for all the image code... to see what the code really looks like click this link.
IF you don't now how to use the Editor Mode in vBulletin to tweak your code, here's my article on this topic.
How to use the "Editor Mode" to break a single quoted message up into smaller quoted sections
This is for anyone that's not sure how to use the Editor Mode in vBulletin to tweak their code or to break a large section of quoted material into smaller bites-size sections.
It also shows you how to use the up and down arrows to shrink or increase the length of your message box for easier typing.
It also helps to be able to stretch out your message box, can't do this in all browsers but you can in I.E.

How to expand the message box
In case you don't know, there are little tiny up and down arrow button in the upper right hand corner of your message box and if you click on the down arrow it will increase or stretch-out your message box giving you more visible working room to type in and format your message.
It looks like this:
It's kind of tiny so here's a screen shot to show everyone where it's at...
