Like I said in the Avatar tutorial, this is one explaining how to post an image with pictures!!

You'll start of by replying to a topic, or creating a topic
the part you'll want to focus on is here, you'll want to click on the button that says "Image"
Posted Image

This will cause a box to pop up looking like this:
Posted Image

You'll want to copy and paste the URL into this box (ex. www.imagelocation.com)
Posted Image

then you click "OK" and it should look like this:
Posted Image

and voila you've just put an image into your post, now if you're really starting to think you're awesome you can skip a whole bunch of steps and just type [IMG] then put an image URL then type [/IMG]

good luck :D

Thank you kindly, Sarah! Yes, at the third try I finally succeeded, thanks to Mara. Don't know what went wrong with the first two times! :rolleye: I thought I was doing it the right way, but apparently not. Thanks for the [IMG] [/IMG] bit. That I did not know about! Strictly speaking for myself, I always go for the simplest option (the one I understand the best)--whether it's cool or not! :P

Thanks again! :)

Sarah, you should pin this and the avatar one so they are always accessible...

Oh dear. [raises hand] I have a very stupid question. What if your image does not have a URL? That is, I have an image on my hard drive (a .jpg) which I would like to post. What to do?

Thank you kindly,
Lynn

If it's on your hard drive, then you'll need to upload it to a photo hosting website like Photobucket or Flickr. Once uploaded, copy and paste the image's URL over to here.

I use tinypic because it's very simple to use and you don't need to sign up for an account. :)

I never heard of this "tinypic" until a moment ago when I read Tiff's rec here. I just uploaded this icon that Tatau made for me!!

TYK, Tiff!!

Just when I thought I was getting tired of those 'Keep Calm' posters, someone comes up with a really good one!

Hey Ride, any chance of you sharing them - especially the 'Keep calm and call Fraser'? I'd love to have that on my desktop somewhere ...
