HOW TO POST PHOTOS (TUTORIAL), by embase on Mar 28, 2013 19:12:18 GMT 1, Lately I have seen a lot of people that are having trouble posting photos so I thought I would take a few minutes to try to help out. If there is already a tutorial on here, feel free to delete this. In this tutorial I will assume that everyone knows how to upload an image to a hosting site like Photobucket, Facebook, Instagram, etc. If not, here are links to tutorials on how to upload:

Photobucket:

For this tutorial I will be using Photobucket and Facebook.  Now that you have uploaded your image to a hosting site you need to copy the Direct Link or the Image Location.

Double click the Direct Link box to copy the link.

Alternatively, you can also right click the image and select Copy Image Location.

If you are using Facebook, Instagram, etc. Right click and select Copy Image Location

Now that you have copied the link to your image, return to the forum and click the small button that looks like a photo.  If you hover your mouse over the button the words "Insert Image" will appear.

A window will pop up asking for the URL to your image.  Right click the box and select "Paste".  This will paste the previously copied link to your image into the box. Dont worry about the "Alt Text" box.

Once you click "Paste" your link should appear in the "Image URL" box.

Click Insert Image. Presto! Your photo should now be in the reply window as so:


Now just add any text that you want and post it up.  Hope this was helpful to those of you that are having trouble. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
