This may be a dup topic from a while back. I cant find it in my notes. Does anyone know now to add 3 fotos to a bidville auction? Bidville gives the ability to add 2 fotos but unfortunately, I need to add 3!
can anyone help me??

If you host your images somewhere else you can use html
<img src=http://theaddressofthephoto>whereever you want to place it in the description section for the third photo and just use bidvilles upload for the other 2
Hope it helped pOE

hi paloma91
I always do my own html in the description area at the smaller sites (including bidville). You can then add as many photos as you like. I do it also because I like my pics before my auction text. I keep the html in my folder, then just cc&p it and take it to the auction site, fill in the current (appropriate) URL of the pics that I am using on that particular auction. It does sometimes add to the download of the pics, tho, depending where you are keeping your pics.

I get around that limit by using the Lview
Pro graphics program (others might work too)
to create a "contact sheet" with 2 to 4
pictures. Using white text for the names
on a white background makes them invisible.
Then the only limit I have is the file size
limit that BidVille puts on each picture
(which can now contain multiple pictures
thanks to LvP). It works for me, after
getting used to Yahoo's 3 picture limit...
I once put a picture done this way on Yahoo
that had 64 smaller pictures in it! But
Yahoo's file size per picture is 3 times
higher than BidVille's, so... :^)

I take all the shots or views I want of my item, and then put them with my photo editor into one picture, just one picture, takes only a few minutes to do, and then it's so easy to just load the one picture.
Also makes for anybody viewing, not having to wait for ever to have all the pictures load.
Just this ol bitties way of doing.

thanks everyone! This sure helps! Now, all I need to do is learn how to use HTML a little bit more. Justjoan, what software are you using as your photo editor?

I use the MGI Photo editor. Wasn't an expensive program and it does great for me.
Of course I have to use a bit of math.
But it's so easy to copy paste to a new pic and away I go.
I do like the fact that I can resize the picture making it a bit smaller, and making it faster to load for viewers without them having to wait forever for it to load.
It's so darn easy and so fast, and actually so much faster than loading up 3 photoes in my mind.
just ol bitties opinion on it all.

I wonder if I can do that with the software I already have? I know that I have tried it before unsuccessfully. I have two of them: Ulead Photo Express and Picture it 99. anyone know if it will work.
Thanks again for all of your help with this problem
