How do I post pictures

[bbettina]

I am sure this was asked and answered before or more reasonable people can figure it out themself but I simply don't know how to attach pictures to my post. 
Please help!

Thanks so much,

Tina

Please help!

hopefully this helps and is not too confusing.

If the image is online somewhere - you need to either type this, or click on the little image icon (second icon from the left) and the (img)(/img) text will come automatically.

(img)http://www.imageurl.com(/img)

it will will give


replace the round brackets with square ones and you are in business.  To find the image location, right click on the image and select 'copy image location' then come back to the forum and PASTE it into where you want it.

To make the image so that it is also also a link - it is a little more tricky.

(url=http://www.linkurl.com)(img)http://www.imageurl.com(/img)(/url)


and again replace the round brackets with square ones.  Notice that the link url is INSIDE the brackets with an equals sign.

And lastly, if you want to just attach an image you have on your hard drive somewhere.. you need to click on 'additional options' - which is just below the typing area, and then browse and find your image on your hard drive - then click post.

Thanks Leaf - Great explaination.

I sometimes cheat and hit "quote" and then steal the required code from another post.
