Well, since this is my first time in the forums, I'm trying to upload some of my xna art on the forum site, however it says I can upload only three. I'm new to this :( how do I upload more on the same topic?

Uploading images to this forum is quite limited due to storage concerns, so your best way to do it is to link it from an external image hosting website or deviantART (Which is what most of us here do).

Using the codes, you can link to any image you want.

To add to what Hentai said you can use something like Flickr or Photobucket if you don't want to sign up on dA, but the problem with those sites is that they tend to shrink large images for bandwidth reasons. deviantArt allows you to upload the original image sizes, although the forum software will also automatically resize your pics. What most peeps here do is they link back to the original "deviation" so folks can also view the original images. I think the php code for that goes like this:

[URL=your deviantart page][img]image%20from%20your%20deviantart%20page.png[/img][/URL]

Good luck. :)

Ok, what about Skydrive? Can you upload from there?

It works, but from my personal experience it's a bit dodgy sometimes. :evil:

You can, but you have to make sure you put your pictures in the public folder or nobody else except you will be able to see them. If you want other folks to see the original image you have to tag every post with "right click and open in new window".

You can also upload on TinyPic if you don't want DeviantArt.

From what I used it, it was fairly good. It didn't resize my images and they looked alright. :)

Thanks for the information. Well as soon as I can learn to make some models of my own, or rig them, I'll be able to make my own DA account and post them, hopefully :)
