Too many times I see "how do I post an image or picture?" or a broken image.


To post an image, it must first be on the web somewhere. You cannot upload it on this forum from your HDD. The best way (that I know of) is to make yourself a photobucket.com account.

You can then upload from your HDD to said photobucket account.
Each image you upload will have a box below it when you hover your cursor above image.
Click and highlight the box labeled "Direct Link".
Right click, copy. This is your image link.

In the post area of this forum, you must type (img), then right click paste, pasting your image link, then (/img), replacing () with [] (which I did not do for what I hope are obvious reasons).
If confused, just click quote on a post with an image and you can look at the format.

Hope that helps.
