Dumb question, but how do I add pictures to a post?

Get the URL for the picture, then place it inside [img] tags, like so:

[img]http://www.example.com/image.jpg[/img]

When you're creating a post, click on the above the text area.

Or you can put images tags around the link to the image, like this: [IMG]link to image[/IMG]

Just... be sure the image is hosted somewhere you can control it or your sure is trustworthy. Last thing you want is your nice appropriate picture being switched out on the hosting site for something that could earn you a vacation from the boards.

The OCD picture method. Place picture code. Close windows with actual pictures on them. Delete cache. Preview post to make sure the host allows remote viewing. There's so many out there that don't now, it's good to check.


Dec out.

Namely...

You don't want this turning into that...

(Had a friend do that to a "gentleman" who was competing with him on eBay sales. Stealing bandwidth because he was too lazy to host it himself.)

This is still a bad idea.

Just because they allow remote viewing now doesn't mean they will in the future and your carefully linked image is now pointing to a man doing...horrible awful things to himself that are illegal in most developed countries.

Hotlinking is bad. Don't do it (unless a site specifically says hot linking is ok. In that case make sure you actually trust said site)

Know of a guy who got accused of hacking myspace because of that. Ha ha.

I think what he meant is if you are using a web host like Angelfire - which does not allow hot linking of images at all. If you don't own webspace of your own (as in, pay for it) I would recommend you host your images at someplace like photobucket which allows hotlinking.

Sort of. I mostly meant hotlinking, but from sites like that, yeah.

Frankly, I'm not going to host every bad joke pic or reference pic I post. If it's something important or something of mine personally, sure, but a silly "O RLY!" pic or something, yeah I'm "stealing" that bandwidth and I don't care. If it disappears, it disappears. Few and far between are the sites that give you a ****** pic or something once they block hotlinking.


Dec out.

Some aren't as computer savvy, so if you have trouble getting the url, which I've had happen before, for some unknown reason, right click the pic (on the host site that it's posted on. I.E. facebook, your personal site, etc) and click "View Image Info". The actual URL will be in that list.

Nothin wrong with necroing. THis thread came up at the top when I searched for how to post pics, so it's relevant, regardless of when the last post was

Except your post wasn't relevant. The question was answered nearly a year ago. The people who needed the answer have long since moved on. It simply bumps an old post to the top, increasing the useless noise on the front page.

Additionally, it's specifically banned by the Message Forum Rules and Guidelines.
