Re: dumb question about post pic

When your writing up your post click on the second icon from the right (looks like a mountain scape). Enter the http address for the picture and then click ok and submit your post. You'll need to have your picture loaded up with someone like photobucket to post an actual pic.

Sorry if that's utterly confusing I'm at work mutlitasking.

Re: dumb question about post pic

Upload it onto the net, using photobucket, facebook, myspace, etc.....
Than when you want to post a picture, right click on it after you upload it up and go "copy image location"
Than when you post up your messege do this:
[img] (paste image location here) [/img]

And the pic should show up, hope this helps.

Or the easiest way .........

How to resize your picture: (do this before uploading your BIG pics to photobucket, if a. it's necessary or b. Steve's around ;) )

1. Open your pic with Paint (right click -->open with --> paint).
2. From Image manu, select sketch/skew.
3. Put in your desired % to resize (For example, 50% by 50% or 40% by 40% works for me)
4. Save it and you're done.


To upload Picture in the thread:

1. Upload you picture in "photobucket.com"
2. Right under the picture, you'll see a link with img tag.(i.e.[img] blahblah [img])
3. Copy and paste that in any of your thread.
4. Enjoy!

P.S. We get so many threads asking how to post or resize pics, maybe we can sticky this......
