garymanc Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 you need to upload the image to a web based host service, such as http://www.photobucket.com or http://www.uploadit.org to name but two. You'll need to register first but both are free for simple image hosting, though you can upgrade to do other things for a small fee. Once registered you can begin uploading images. Note the "URL" box with it's text (highlighted). Copy this text (left click and drag to select all the text, right click -> copy or CTRL-C). In Uploadit, you get a list. Click the list and copy the http address from the new window. On to the forum, you have two options. You can simply paste the http address and post a link to your picture. Anyone who wants to see it will need to click the address. This is good if you want to post a lot of images If you want to display the actual image, use the "img" tags: http://premium1.uploadit.org/magatsu1//photobucket4.JPG That's all there is to it. As you may have figured, you don't actually post a picture but point the forum software to a net address which it converts into an actual picture. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
