Because some new members or even members who have been here a bit, have questions about this whole process. I thought it would be useful to have post this to avoid people making extra threads.
You are posting a story of your Camino and as you type out the words in your post you realise that you have no clue how to put any of your beautiful pictures in your posts!
1. The first thing you need to make sure is to have your pictures uploaded to your computer and know the directory they are in. Just be able to find the folder that they are in. Now alter the size of the picture or make a copy so that it is no more than 600 pixels wide, this makes the pages no larger than normal.
2a) Using external image hosting
-- Now you are going to need a host, here are some: imageshack.us; photobucket.com; tinypic.com; paintedover.com. When you get to these sites you will usually see a button that says "Choose" or "Find picture" and another button that says "Upload" or "Host it". Do just that, choose your picture and click upload. You will be given a bunch of ways to display your picture.
-- Now if you just took the url for the direct image go to your thread and type
[img]theURLofthehostedpicturehere[/img].
Alternatively hit the IMG button above the block where you are writing your post and [img].[/img] will appear now copy the URL between the brackets.
Then submit your thread/post and badabing badaboom you're done.
So
has
http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l140/ ... breiro.jpg
between the brackets
Alternatively you could...
2b)
You could also attach the photo (.jpg, .gif or .png) to the post itself. To do so, follow these steps:
1. When you are typing your message, under the "Submit" button there is a "Upload attachment" tab. Click it.
2. Click "Browse" and find the photo on your computer.
3. Click "Add the file". (wait for it to be uploaded, may take a few seconds)
Now when you have finished typing your message, click the "Submit" button and your message and photo will be submitted.
