First, you need to upload your picture to somewhere where our forum can access it.
You can do this on your own webserver if you wish, but the better method is to use a photo-sharing service like Photobucket (
www.photobucket.com) or Flickr (
www.flickr.com).
Just create a free account on one of those sites, and upload your picture there.
Once it's uploaded, you can insert it into your post by clicking the "insert image" icon in the post's "Add BBC tags" section, and then entering the URL of your uploaded Photobucket picture in between the img and /img tags.
Or even easier, you can use the "IMG code" that photobucket provides, and copy/paste that into your post.
Click "preview" to verify that your picture has been included properly in your post.
It's easy - - give it a try!
---------------
Note: if you have a large picture, you can resize it in Photobucket - as it will then load faster in this forum.
To do that:
- Upload the picture to Photobucket
- From the menu bar, select "Edit Images", then "Resize"
- Click on a photo to resize
- Change the width of the picture. (Hint: a good width for viewing in the forums is 800 pixels.)
- Click on "Apply" to apply the change
- Then scroll to the bottom of the screen and click on the 'Save a Copy' button or the 'Replace Original' button.
At that point, the changed picture will appear in your album, and you can use the "IMG" code to copy/paste into your posts here.
