How To: Post Pictures

Posting a picture requires you to do a little work. It's not much so don't get discouraged even though it sounds difficult at first.

But trust me it's not that hard.

First thing you'll want to do is go to a site that hosts pictures, there are many out there.

I recomend www.imageshack.us or www.photobucket.com

But just for the sake of keeping this simple, lets use imageshack

1 - Open your browser and go to www.imageshack.us

2 - Now click on browse and choose your image you want from your computer

3 - Now if you dont have the image the size you want, imageshack can change it for you.
Check off re-size and pick a size you want, I recomend 640x480 or 320x240
However if you want the image to be big keep it that way

4 - Once you have chosen what you like click HOST IT!

5 - Now you will be taken to a screen with LOTS of links

WAIT: There are 2 ways of doing this next part. For the trickier part, keep reading. But for the easier part, scroll down to where it says "alternate"

6 - Scroll down to the last one (Dirrect Link) and high light it, and copy it

7 - Now you can add an image to your message, to do this write:

[img]

8 - Then right click and paste the url you copied after the [img] so it should like this:
[img]http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/3439/wearob1.jpg

9 - Now to finished if off write [/img] at the end, it shoudl look like this
[img]http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/3439/wearob1.jp[/img]

ALTERNATE:

Once you click host it you will be shown a large number of links

Copy the full link beside "Hotlink to forums 1" or "Hotlink to forums 2", that will be the full image.

Or you can copy the thumbnail for Forums 1 or 2 and it will be a little picture, with a link to the big one (GOOD FOR LARGE IMAGES)

Now it should work.

This may sound confusing but it does work, try it a few times and you will get it.
