"Posting Pic Problems"
Edit post
Edit your reply below.
Post Body
Enter your post below.
<p>You cannot directly upload a picture from your computer into this forum. Open up an account at photobucket.com (or any other) and upload your pictures to this account. Copy the the URL of your picture and paste it into the window that opens when you click on the picture icon.</p> <p>That´s all you have to do.</p> <p style="padding:0;margin:0;"></p> <ul> <li class="q">How do I insert an image to my post?</li> <li class="a">Before an image can be inserted into a forum post it needs to be uploaded somewhere. This can be from another website or from any of the popular free image hosting solutions (PhotoBucket, Flickr, etc...)<br /><br /> Our communities do not allow photos to be uploaded for the purpose of sharing them in the forums, therefore they must be housed somewhere else. You <b><span style="text-decoration:underline;">MUST</span></b> know the URL of the image before you can insert it into your post.<br /><br /> Images can only be inserted using the Rich Text Editor. The Rich Text Editor is displayed when creating a new thread by default and for thread replies when you select to use Rich Text Formatting (see question about replying to a thread above).<br /><br /> Insert an image by clicking the <b><i>Insert Image</i></b> button in the toolbar of the text editor. <img src="/sitefiles/images/faq/rte_insert_image.jpg" alt=" " /> <br /> A new window will then open to allow you to insert the URL of where the image is located.<br /><br /> *Note: Depending on how the community is setup, images may not appear in the forums. Some communities may remove images from posts or replace them with links.</li> </ul>
