how do i post pictures of my layout on the forums? i tryed copying them and that didnt work. plz help
earthqu8kes,
You need to go to either Photobucket or Railimages.com, open up a FREE account, and upload your pictures on their server. You can then create a link from the photos web address and paste it into your post. Give a holler when you get to that point.

After you have done as Tom suggested, follow the directions in the F.A.Q section, under the question “Can I change the format of my text?”. It’s at the bottom of that section.
When you use the post message or reply page (not the quick reply) you will see a button for adding an image code in the format tool bar. You put the address of the photo file between the code.
thanks guys
earthqu8kes,
Basically, for my photo at the bottom of my post, this is what the code looks like if I were going to insert it in the body of a post:

Insert “img” inside the left set of brackets and “/img” inside the right set of brackets (minus the quotation marks).
Hope that helps…

If you have s ite where your already storing your photos you dont need to start a new site. just use that site as your image provider I use my freewebs website and it comes out so if I can do it so can you.
Here is what a sample text looks like with the img codes, click to enlarge
And here is what that looked like before I posted it.
Got it? Pictures always help!
