The most technical part about putting pictures in posts is that they have to be on the internet first!

A lot of people use free services like Photobucket or Imagehosting to host their images.

Once your pictures are viewable on the internet you can add them to a post by right clicking the image and selecting properties.

You should see a url for the image starting with http://

Image

If you copy this and then in your post on here type Image you should find that the picture appears!

Note: Dont forget to make sure that the "Disable BBCode in this post" isnt ticked otherwise your picture wont show up.

:D

Thanks

Make sure that the "Disable BBCode in this post" box isnt ticked. If you have that ticked then all you get is a line of text starting with [img]http://etc

Hi,
If you want do e-mail the photos to me and I will post them for you.
but first make sure that the word IMG is written in front and end of the URL adress.

its easier to get your 8 year old grandson to do it, but very costly. whatever happened to penny stuff from the shop.
