How do I post pictures?

Can't find an answer I can understand on the FAQs. I see "Img" but have no clue how to work that. Help!

Are you trying to post your own pictures or something from the web?

For an image that is already on the web:

Copy the image location. Something like: http://www.boxerworks.com/forum2/images/logoForum.png

Then hit the "Img" button, and you'll get this with your cursor in the center of it: [ img][/img ]

You paste the location in the center, and it will put the image in the post:
Like this, without the space after .png:

Here's what happens without that space after the .png:

Alternatively, paste the copied image url into a post, then highlight the url and click the img button.

And, use the code code to illustrate bb code.

Code: Select all

Yep, just Google "free photo hosting" and several good websites come up. Once online, you can just click and paste it in your post where it will look like this: http://www.pbase.com/bamboo812/image/128639409 then add to the beginning and a .jpg[/i mg] to the rear, without the gaps, and you will have this

Teo,

You can post a picture without putting it on a site.

When you are composing a message, below the message box you will see a tab called "Upload attachment".
Click on that and you will see a "Browse" button.
Click on that and find your photo on your hard drive. Select the picture and then click on "Add the file".

Just make sure your image size is not too large. This example is 400 pixels in width.

Ya, this is a new feature that we have now with our more modern site and software. On the old BW, linking to some other place on the web was the only way.

Hey, I never saw that "upload attachment" feature! Now I gotta work on that pixel business.
