Pics

[Dude]

How do you post pictures on here , on the topic your talking on ?

There are a couple of different ways depending on where the picture file you'd like to share is located.

File is on your computer - If the file is on your hard drive somewhere, you can simply attach it to a post. There is a button in the reply box that says "more reply options". Click on that, and you'll be taken to a slightly more advanced editor. From here, there will be an option below the box where you type to attach files. This will attach them to the post, and they'll likely be supplied as thumbnails, which can be downloaded or blown up to full size by a member clicking on them.

You can also upload them to the gallery here or an internet based photo sharing website or storage website, like photobucket, dropbox, or google drive.

Hosted in the Gallery here - There is a button in the toolbar that looks like a few floppy disks, and says "my media". Clicking on that will allow you access to anything you've hosted in the gallery, or attached to other posts. You simply click on whatever you'd like and it will insert it for you.

Hosted on an external website - You can either provide a link to the image that you want, or embed it into a post. A lot of photosharing websites will provide you links/codes to do either that you can copy and paste directly. Most URLs are also automatically turned into links. To embed an imagine there is another icon in the toolbar that looks like a photograph. Clicking on that will bring up a window, which you can copy and paste the URL of the photo into, and automatically do the formatting to include the image. Alternatively, the code is [img=URL here Then finish with another bracket.

I almost forgot. If you want to test any of this out to make sure you have it down, there is a test post section to play around with things like this.
