Instruction on Posting Photos

Can I post Images?

Images can indeed be shown in your posts. However, there is no facility at present for uploading images directly to this board. Therefore you must link to an image stored on a publicly accessible web server, e.g. http://www.some-unknown-place.net/my-picture.gif. You cannot link to pictures stored on your own PC (unless it is a publicly accessible server) nor to images stored behind authentication mechanisms such as Hotmail or Yahoo mailboxes, password-protected sites, etc. To display the image use either the BBCode [img] tag or appropriate HTML (if allowed).

So you have to upload your pictures to a hosting site (there's FREE one's out there. You can usually right-click on your pic once it's posted and choose "properties" at the bottom of the box that opens. That screen will have the URL on it. It'll look something like this...http://ricksreels.weebly.com/uploads/4/ ... 919180.jpg Copy that string and paste it into your message on the forum.
Once you have your image URL is pasted into your message, highlight it and click on the "IMG" button and continue typing. Click on the "Preview" button to see if it appears, then click on "Submit".
