<\/a><\/p>\nStep 2<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
Start a new post or reply to a post by pressing the ‘New Topic’ Choose a method for inserting pictures into the body of the post:<\/p>\n Press the ‘Additional Options’ button near the bottom of the text entry box.<\/p>\n Press ‘Choose File’ button to upload your picture. \u00a0Note that the file size must be small, and that it only lets you attach a few pictures to each post. \u00a0My favorite programs for re-sizing pictures are irfanview<\/a> and picassa<\/a>. \u00a0Sizing your images to less than 600 pixels will usually make the file size small enough.<\/p>\n Upload your pictures to a hosting service or server of your choice. \u00a0(I like picassaweb<\/a> best)<\/p>\n Copy the link to the file and paste it in the body of the forum post. \u00a0(the link must be THE FILE, and not to a webpage, you can tell it is a file because it will end in .jpg, .gif, or .png and look like http:\/\/somewhereontheweb.com\/somefolder\/somefilename.JPG) \u00a0(from picassaweb, the link is found by clicking on the ‘link to this photo’ and checking ‘Image only – no link’)<\/p>\n Highlight the link to your picture in the body of the forum post and press the ‘IMG’ button\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0or ‘Reply’ <\/a>\u00a0 button.<\/p>\nStep 3<\/h3>\n

Step 3B3<\/h3>\n
<\/a>\u00a0which adds the proper BBcode<\/a> to the link so that the forum software will display the picture instead of displaying the link to the picture.<\/p>\nStep 4<\/h3>\n
