Mods ... can we please pin this
Some members struggle with posting up images on the forums so here's a quick guide:
- First of all your image should be hosted on the Internet somewhere,
- Try www.imageshack.net (its easy)
- Once the image uploaded then copy the URL address which should look something like this:
http://gazoo.com/nvis/im/egim/2ZZ-GE.jpg
- To place your image into a post click the 'IMG' code button at the top of the new topic page & paste in the URL from the image. (the one that looks like a little green tree) It will then be displayed like this:
- Essentially as long as the Internet 'address' of your image is surrounded by these tags you'll be ok.
[IMG] (ADDRESS GOES HERE) [/IMG]
One thing to remember is to try not to post-up massive images in terms of size - as this will slow the site down, don't forget those people on 56k dial-up connections who will have to wait ages for an image to load!
hope this makes things easier ....
