How do I upload images in chat?

[Nillabelle]

Hello~I'm new. I notice the visitors can post images but we don't have that option it seems? I would like upload and name them if possible like when you type in the :whatever it will post my specific pic that I personally created/uploaded? Thanks.

I assume you mean MFC.

Click on the square on the left of the smiley face.

Then look on the bottom of the pop up.

Hope that helps. Your post was vague so I may have misunderstood.

If I worried about the names in my screenshots being tacky I would never post any.

You can also upload images to your profile and then create your own exclusive chat shortcut by entering text in the "Chat Shortcut (Optional)" field to insert it into chat. It shows up as if you pasted a URL to an image hosted elsewhere and no one may use it but you, and you don't need to host images elsewhere or deal with URLs.

You understood perfectly. Do models have these same options because when I first made my account I signed up as a basic before I knew about being a model and I can see those options. When I log in as a model I cannot see them Is it differant for models? Thanks.

I do not know what models can do.

I think models can upload them, though maybe you might need to login through the site rather than model software? some models have told me they can't see the emote selection button

From what I have seen in the software, the models can't see the emote lists, but they can use them if they know the shortcuts to them.

some more info about images on MFC chat, I think a lot of regulars will know already, however I was surprised.
-----

I was in a PM chat and did give a URL to a personal image on my own site, not a public URL, a PNG file

it was just ment for the host, to my surprise the URL was not show, but a tiny version of the image, as a gif, and with 2 clicks the full size was visuable, but still as a .gif image and served from a MFC server.

http://img.myfreecams.com/chat_images/x/xx/xxnnnnn.gif

I retreived it from a other IP, while not logged on to MFC, and it was still visuable.

I can see the good points:
- if I would to give the model a link to a trojan
- or wanted to get the IP number of the model
then it failed, and MFC did protect the model

but now there is a file with personal info from me on a MFC image server, I don't like that idea. Hmm, next time I must think before doing things like this ...

I think you are onto it..

MFC now fetches and serves the image rather than the model clicking it and opening the link.

As you point out these images can be used in the past to track the i.p of whoever clicks on it. Which is privacy and security issue..

so its a good change
