Technical Question - How do you post pictures on Escapist forums?

[ResiEvalJohn]

There have been a lot of times while reading the forums on this site when I wanted to respond with pictures. After all, a picture says 1000 words, or something like that. Sometimes I see people responding with pics or youtube links, but I can't figure out how to do this. Can anybody tell me?

Without spaces

Also, youtube embedding is done like this

[ youtube= The numbers and letters coming after the = on the video being posted.]

For youtube vids, it's [ youtube=stuff after the equals ] without the spaces.

Heres how to reshape pics in case they're too big

[*img width=?? height=??*]URL[*/img*]

Minus the *s and the ?s

Replace the ?? with numbers. 300 X 300 is generally good.

thanks, Can you also do this for files and videos saved on your computer, or does it have to be from a website?

hmm, I have something else like photobucket that might work... I'll try.
Honestly it's not fair that they can't just allow copy and paste.
