How To Post Pictures

Forum: General

I see new people often asking how to post pictures in the threads here. So I decided to help.


First off, you cannot just upload pictures from your phone or computer directly to your post.
You have to put the pics you want to share on an image hosting site (photobucket, imgbb, etc)

Once you have the pic uploaded, you need to find the image url.
Copy the image url.



Now go to the thread you want to post in, click [Post Reply]



Click the Image icon, the icon with the little green tree.





The Insert Image window appears.



Delete the "http://" in the url box.



Paste the image url you copied from your hosting site.
Click [Insert Image]



You should see a preview.
Click [Insert Image] again, and the image should now appear in your post box.



Click [Post Reply] and it should now post to the thread.



Note: These steps may vary depending on your phone or computer. Specifically the steps for getting the preview.

Have fun, post safely, and always follow the T.O.S.

Quite simple for anyone who has ever used a WYSIWYG editor before, but yet we still have people asking about it.

No problem. I meant to do this months ago, but was just learning at the time myself.

My history with Myspace is why I modeled my profile after one of "The Great Old Ones".
