***How To Post Pictures***

[GSR Alex]

This is to answer the commonly asked question: "How do I post pics?"

Step 1: Find an image hosting site (a free or pay site that will allow you to upload pictures from your computer's hard drive onto the site). This will allow OTHER people to view your pictures. Every image that you upload will have it's own hyper-link or URL (ex: .../myImage.jpg)

Step 2: Copy the URL of the image you want to post, and when you start a new post, ABOVE where you type your text you will see options for Font, Size, Color, B, I, U, etc... Find the button that looks like this () and click on it. This will open a pop-up window that will prompt you for the URL of the image you wish to post. Paste the URL you copied from before into the window and click "Ok". The window will dissapeer and you should see the IMG tags around the URL you posted.

Step 3: You can now either continue to post more pics, or just post that one. If the picture does not show up, make sure you have the correct URL for the image, and also check to see if your image host allows external posting of pictures (some sites don't allow you to post the pictures you uploaded on other sites due to bandwidth usage).

Any problems? PM me or any other mod for help... But please, don't post threads that ask "How do I post a pic?" - they will just be removed.
