This is the best method for posting images on the site. - First, you will want to upload your image to the internet. To do this, you can open a free account at sites like photobucket.com or imageshack.com.
- Once the image has been uploaded, you need to copy the image url.
- Now to insert the url into the forum. First of all, you will not see the buttons to insert smiley faces or any codes into your post if you are typing in the quick reply box at the bottom of the forum. You must first click reply or quote to see the correct screen to do this. The page you want to see looks like this:
- Then just paste the image url into the middle of the code like this:
[img]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h64/tom1986ca/Our%20Photo%20Group/image2.jpg[/img]
The image will automatically be resized to fit the forum. People can click the image to see the full size.

Ok, so I thought I would help Thomas out on this one and do my *first* tutorial. Pretty much I broke down photobucket for him. I personally use photobucket.com but, there are many others to choose from out there. As far as I know they should all be relatively close to the same. Step One: Sign up for a site like photobucket if you don't already have one. They are usually free and have quite a bit of storage. I'm sure you can pay and get more storage, if you like, but I have been using this site since 2004 and still only have used 8% so, there shouldn't be any rush on upgrading. Step Two: Once your all signed in and ready to go, click on the upload image link shown below. Step Three: Choose which file you would like to upload, or click and drag to add them all. Click on OPEN to finish this step. Step Four: Wait for your file to upload. Depending on file size and upload speed timing will vary. this is a 3.3MB picture and it took me about a minute or so. Step Five: Here you can tag, name, or just leave it blank for now. You can always do this at a later time. I just clicked on save my self. Step Six: Hover your mouse over the selected picture which you are choosing to upload and a menu should drop down which allows you to right click on the IMG CODE. Enabling you to "COPY" the code, which most are/should already be familiar with, having previous simple computer skills. Step Seven: Click on the topic which you are trying to post the picture too, and right click where you would like to paste the image. I will be posting mine on here, to further show you. Step Eight: Click on the preview button below to make sure you got it right and all you have left is to "Post Message" It should look something like this: Hope this will help whom ever can use it!
