Post Reply New Topic

While looking through other posts, I have seen where some of you have placed images in the text boxes.
I have tried everything I could think of to do the same. . .out of fun. But nothing seems to work.
How do you do it?

I'm "closing" this post. . .I've tried everything suggested and still nothing. But thank you for all the help.

[img]URL[/img]

OK.

Start with an URL to the picture you want to use. In this case from my picture trail site.

http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL97/784 ... 755990.jpg

The coding already makes this a clickable link.

To save the click and "fetch" the image surround the URL, without allowing any spaces, with

*img* and */img* For "Image" but using square brackets instead of the asterisks.

If you use the quote option on this post, you will see the structure.

So much more succinct than mine!

No go. . .I tried.

Save the image you want to your hard drive....


Next find a free image hosting service on the web to upload to...I use Photobucket...

http://www.photobucket.com


...once you have uploaded you image...you will see your image and a series of links...on photobucket you will see your image and under it will be 3 boxes containing links labeled...URL, TAG, and IMG....

Just highlight the link shown (everything) in just the IMG box and copy and paste it into your reply...

...it's already in the correct format...

i hate photobucket. the images are always so small and i dont know how to resize them.

I use ImageShack, most of the time.

They also feature a thumbnail option if you need to link a huge image.

im going to try imageshack out

But then when you click on the images themselves they should be a good size? Mine alwats are, unless I've uploaded a small image anyway ...
