How to post images;

The short answer is the same as on the last forum, but heres a brief tutorial;

Firstly, you need to host your images on a site such as Photobucket.
If you don't already have an account there, you will need to register.
It is completely free.

Go to photobucket's site, and register...

This will take you to Photobucket's Home Page...

Click on the "Register Now" button to sign-up with Photobucket.

Choose a username and password that you'd like to use for logging-in to your account...

Once you have registered you will either have to log-in with your account details (the Username and Password that you just created), or you may be logged-in automatically depending on your browser settings.

Login here (with the account details you chose earlier):

Photobucket allows you to upload either pictures or video files.
Select either Image Upload or Video Upload (By default, you are viewing the Image Uppload page)...

Click the browse button.
You will then choose the file you want to upload.

Then click the Submit button.

* To upload more than one image, select the number of images from the drop-down box, marked "Submit Multiple Images"

You will then see a message at the top of the page, telling you that your image was successfully uploaded.

If you scroll down, you will see your loaded image(s) below.
Under the image you want to show on the forum, you will see there is a textbox that is marked with "Img".

There are two ways to copy the IMG Code for use in the forum:
You can either click in the text box, and then right-click and select "Copy"
Or you can click on the blue label "Img" next to the text box.

Now, go the forum, and in your post window, right-click in the blank white area inside the block where you type, and click "Paste"...

That is it!

To post more than one image, copy and paste the IMG code for each picture, one-by-one.

I have a problem. I'm not having any problems. I ALWAYS have new forum problems. I'm very disappointed.

Hi Chuck,

Thats the sort of problem I like to see

Is it possible to force links to open in new windows rather than navigating away from the forum?

Also - you might want to lock all the areas on the old forum as people are still posting there.

Thanks Graeme,

I'll look into it.
