pictures in forum posts

Hello,

I'm being dim and can't seen to get pictures to attach to my posts - despite it looking like they have before I submit the post. What do I need to do to add pictures? can someone help please?

Thank you.

You don't want to attach them.

What you do is upload them somewhere (like photobucket), and then paste the link they provide for sharing it in a forum post. It's linked off forum, but it will display in a post. That's what I do for all the images I've posted

Shoot. I answered this already in the gaming props thread. I'll repost it here.

Okay here is how to do it.

With Flickr you need to click "share this image" or "show all image sizes" Then get the image URL - which should end in jpg.

For instance: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3568/347 ... fe8394.jpg

Now to paste that into a post, you click the "Img" button at the top, paste in the URL, and click "Img" again.

It should look like this: [img']http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3568/347 ... fe8394.jpg[/img'] but without the apostrophes I added to mess up the code so you could see it.

If I didn't add the apostraphes, it would look like this:
