How to add a picture to your post

[Kev]

There are a couple of ways you can do this.

• You can attach an image to a post using the 'Upload Attachment' option at the bottom of the posting window up to a maximum of three per post.
  
  Just browse to the image on your computer and click 'add the file'. You can also type in a caption if you want.
  
  This will add images to the end of your post. If you want to add them within your post choose the 'place inline' option after you've attached it and you'll see some attachment text appear in your post which you can move to where you want the image to be.
• You can use one of the many online image hosting websites too. Sites such as Imgur, Photobucket, Flickr and Tinypic will host your image for free. Simply follow their site instructions to get the image url. They often give it to you in a preformatted BBcode version with img tags already around it.
  

  Code: Select all

• If you have your own hosting, of course, you can use that in a similar way to the sites above.
• If you do want to img tag an image from another site please be courteous to their bandwidth and host it elsewhere. There's a very good Firefox addon that adds a right click menu option which uploads the picture straight imgur and puts the url in your clipboard.
