Can you guys please help me try and figure out how to post pics in a new post?
You have the pics stored on your hard drive, obviosly. Youneed a hosting site like photobucket.com. Go to photobucket, register and get a free account. Sign in and then upload your photos to photobucket. Once your photos are uploaded, you can look at them in your ‘ALBUM’. They will have a coulpe of addresses below them, the first is an HTTP address that can link the photo with a website or forum and the other address has IMG in front of it. This is what you want. Click once on that address then right click and copy it into your browser. When you write your post, just right click and paste the IMG line into your post. When someone looks at your post, they’ll see your photo. Only the first one is hard. Once you get the hang of it, you be a picture postin’ fool[:P]
First, you must store your picture(s) somewhere on the internet. There are a lot of websites where you can store pictures on the web, mostly from companies who want you to buy prints from them etc. My internet provider gives me a webspace, so I use that.
Once you have your picture on the internet, go to the website where it is stored and view it. Right click on it and choose properties. In the properties, you will find the URL for the picture. This is the address of the picture on the internet. Highlight and copy it. It will look something like http:\somewebsitedotcom\mypic.jpg.
Now, don’t use the Quick Reply box when posting pics. Instead, use the Reply to Topic form. At the top, in the menu bar, you will find a button for inserting images. Click on it and it will put a some code in the thread like this
{img}{/img}
Except with ['s instead of {'s.
Now, click in between the two codes and hit paste or control V so it looks like this:
{img}http:\somewebsitedotcom\mypic.jpg{/img}
Except, again, instead of { or }, you will see [ or ] symbols.
Now, to see if it worked, hit the Preview button. If it worked, you should see your post with the picture in it.
Good luck! It’s really easy after you do it a couple of times.
I copied and pasted this!
