I had Rick A. ask how to post photos here. So instead of using my build thread for the explanation, I'll reply here. First you need to sign up for a photo site on the internet. I use Photobucket, Picasa3 and Yahoo. You don't need all 3 like me, I'm just goofy that way. You also have Pbase and the list goes on. Some photo sites you pay to have unlimited photo's on like Photobucket. But Photobucket gives you free account also. The free version has it's limits like most photo sites. You upload your photos to that site. Most sites have editing tools if you don't have editing tools in your computer. If you do, I always found it better to edit the photos and reduce their size for faster upload. Once uploaded, your given a image link to that photo. When your posting an image, you need that exact link. I copy and paste my link (not the pic itself) directly to this site. Photobucket provides you with the complete link as do others. Hope that helps and answers your question. if you or anyone else have more questions about the subject, Please post here. I'm sure others will chime in on this and help out.

Thanks

Ok! gonna Try.

Ok I used the direct link option. Where is the picture?

Gonna Try again!

I use IMG option for forums.

Wahoo!!! It works! I used Photo bucket free version uploaded the pic. But was using the wrong copy option evertime I tried I gave up in frustration. Thanks! P.S. forget the private message Tom, this post helped me figer it out! Gee! I might make brakeman yet!!

I use flickr, its free and I don't think theres a photo limit. It just stinks they put in this flash viewer so to get the the real images so you can get the link you have to go through like 3 pages. At any rate I link by the image link button 3 in from the right in the box under subject. When you get the image you want right click and "copy image address" paste in the URL line. In the message it will look like,

[ img ]www.super long web name - link.com[ /img ]
Minus the spaces in the brackets its the only way I could get it to show.

To check if it worked hit preview and scroll to where the link is inserted and it will display the picture, it does not in the message you are writing you will just see the code. Also make sure when you paste the link get rid of the http:// that is in the box, otherwise when you paste the link that has http:// in it you will get two and it will not link properly.

Hi Daniel, glad it worked for you! I hope Rick has the same success.
