Help with posting pictures?

Post by buttercreampillow » Thu Oct 01, 2009 6:00 am

Can anyone tell me how to put a picture in the body of my post? I can't figure it out for the life of me.

Thanks!

Okay, you have to have the picture actually ON the internet somewhere, like Flickr or Picassa or your own personal website.

Once you've got that, it's very simple. Just click on the button across the top of the screen that says IMG (for image), then after the text appears in your post (it'll be the word IMG in brackets), put the URL (web address) that will show that actual picture. After you've done that, hit the IMG button again to close the command.

It looks like this:

You upload your photo to a website and they give you an IMG code, a link to your photo that you can post here.


I use :

http://photos.cx/

or

http://tinypic.com/

or

http://www.freeimagehosting.net/upload.php


Then you copy and paste the link in your message and you uncheck the lil' box at the bottom where it says :
"Disable BBCode in this post"

It should work most times, sometimes it doesn't though if there's a problem with the website where you uploaded it, that's why I have 3 different ones I use ...
I tried posting the photo with freeimage hosting just now and it wasn't working so I used photos.cx instead.

Cheers !
