Many people ask me how to insert a photo in their post.
I will try to explain it below
You can't upload your photos to this forum , this is the case for most forums, to show your photo in your post you have to make a link to it by doing the following:
Click on the 4th icon on the second row when you are in the editing mode of your post/message.(new thread or reply mode)
This is the code you need to make a link to the photo you want to show , the URL in the code means the web address where the photo can be found.
For example , I have a photo of an airplane which is called AIRPLANE.jpg , I have to upload the photo to a server (for example my own webspace ) , once the photo is uploaded I need the exact URL (web address) of it , now replace the URL in your code with this address.
When you click now on preview you are able to see your photo , use this code for each photo you want to show.
Most people don't have their own web space or don't know how to upload their photos BUT don't panic ;D there are lots of websites which can host your photos for free , one of them is www.imageshack.us
On this site you must select the photo on your hard drive you want to host then click on HOST IT , once it is uploaded you get a page with the codes you need to show the complete photo or a thumbnail , just copy and paste one of these codes in your message and you're ready
For further info don't hesitate to contact me
Still one thing , please link only to photos in JPG or JPEG format and don't make them larger than 1000 pixels , 800 pixels is perfect for a forum , this to keep the download times low
