Re: how do i post an image ??

To upload photos - First of all you need to ensure the photos are hosted somewhere such as Flickr. www.flickr.com (Free site) and that you have selected for anyone to see them.
Once this is done you can start to post pictures. Personally I use Firefox but I assume it will be similar for Explorer.

You will need to get the address location of your picture so (using Flickr) click on the photo you want to upload. Once this is done you will need to click on the 'Share This' link on the top right of the page. Then in the box that opens up click on the 'Grab HTML'. Then copy the image location that appears starting from 'http' and ending 'jpg' in the drop down box.

When you post there should be a tool bar available under the message header. Located on this is an icon of a picture of a tree. Click on this and it will bring up a little box. The top line will say Image URL. Paste the URL you previously copied here. Then set the Image Alignment. Once this is done the dimensions of your image should be shown. You may need to resize the image if it is too large (more than 400 pixels) as this really peeves of the Mods! Then just click on 'Insert' and job done!!

Re: how do i post an image ??

Is it just me though or does Flickr no longer give you the option to post the direct link of your picture up? I've switched to Photobucket now because of it.

EDIT - as usual, a few seconds worth of thought has sorted it - found the Share this link at the top now Embarrassed

Re: how do i post an image ??

Having seen this, I think it is easier via Photobucket - try this instead maxflinn as once you've uploaded a photo there, on the left there is a box labelled "Direct Link" (as shown here):

 

and then this is one you copy and paste into the Image URL field within the forum software. The Flickr one looks like you need to remove some HTML code and I think this is where you're getting the issue.
