This board requires a third party photo host service, like Picturetrail, Photobucket, etc. to add photos to your posts. Unfortunately, you cannot load photos directly from your computer to the forum. Once your photos are uploaded to the host service, copy the url address of the photo. Services usually give you several options so you want to use the one for forums that looks like this
Paste it directly into your message and it should appear in the posting automatically when you hit "Submit".
If your host service only provides the url and no code around it, you can paste the url into the message, highlight it and click on the "Img" button above the typing area to put in the correct code. It should look like the above example.
Here are some straightforward instructions on posting photos using Photobucket courtesy of Steve:
Here is a step-by-step procedure for posting a photo on Reel Talk. It assumes that you have already uploaded the photo to Photobucket. A similar procedure probably is usable for other online photo sites that include links to your uploaded pics. It is also assumed that you're using IE or Firefox with a Windows OS.
It's probably more convenient to have your "Post a new topic" or "Post a reply" page open on one browser tab, while your Photobucket album is open on another.
1. Open the Photobucket album where the photo is stored, and thumbnails of all the photos should be visible. Under each, 3 choices for links are available (#1, below).
2. Left-click on IMG under the photo you want to post. The URL box will turn blue (#2, below).
3. Right-click on the URL box, and a menu should appear.
4. Select COPY.
5. Go back to your "Post a new topic" or "Post a reply" box and right-click within it.
6. Select PASTE from the menu that appears.
7. The URL of the photo should now be in the Reply box. To make sure the link works, click the PREVIEW button below the box, then scroll up to see if the photo appears in the Preview window.
8. If you want to add text, return to the "Post" box and type it above or below the photo link.
9. Check again with the PREVIEW button to be sure the text and photo will appear correctly.
10. Once you're satisfied that your reply will be posted properly, click on the SUBMIT button.
