Craigslist posting experts

[Craig D Peltier]

I was wondering if anyone could tell me here how to do post some pictures like I see on craigslsit (CL).
when I put pics up your limited to 4. Thats fine but I see some folks that are able to maybe stitch together photos so theres more than 4.Anyone know how to do this so it acts as one file.

Ive also seen where the pics are really big. Its not the size of the file either. Thye all come up the same size unless you know this trick.

Ive also seen flash pictures like this ad.
http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/sks/619280509.html Not sure if this can be done easily either.

Any help would be appreciated. Ive emailed one or two of the people with big pics but there keeping the secret to themselves I guess.:confused:

They flagged and removed that post you linked to.

You can combine multiple "pictures" in a single image using software, such as Adobe Photoshop Elements, Picassa, etc.

They flagged and removed that post you linked to.Not suprised. It had a rolling flash movie of pics an the guy was advertising $100 a month ot update and repost for you for the month on a daily basis. He owned an advertising firm. CL must of found it.
The public is funny on that site.They flag everything. THE CL POLICE

Graig, He had used gifup.com to do his "flash" then inserted in the ad using html coding, same with the large pics linking to 3rd party host.

Thanks I will look that up.

Yes, the 3rd party host thing. I would try uploading to Photobucket, then paste in the [IMG] code directly into your post and see if that works. I've done that on eBay without having to pay the extortionate extra photo fees!

You can include any number of pictures if you host them somewhere else (any of the major picture sites work) and then include an html image link in your craigslist post that refers to the image location. The link should look like this, including the angle brackets and quotes: <img src="your picture location link"> where you substitute the address for your picture inside the quotation marks.

Guys, this thread is 10 years old. Craigslist is much different now than from when the OP posted.

There is a limit of 15 linked (remotely hosted) images per post...including smilies. Regardless of image posting method, however, a community member can post an unlimited number of images in any thread...it's only in individual posts that there is a limit of 8 locally hosted images or 15 remotely hosted images. That's a forum software limitation, not something that the administrators designed.

SMC recommends uploading photos here so that they stay with the content so that situations like the aforementioned Photobucket debacle occur again with some other hosting resource. The only place I use remotely hosted images at this point personally, are in OT or for things like funny memes that are not material to a thread's long-term content.

Maybe lock the thread?
Or delete it.

Wow, why did it show up at the top of the "new posts" this morning? I didn't mean to resurrect ancient history, I just didn't look at the date.
