help with putting images in posts

(1/1)

BarbedHierodule:
I don't know how to put images into a post. i pressed the insert image button but i don't know what i need to put inside this. I feel like a bit of a noob.

Thanks for any help.

plihbmaster:
Use an image hosting website such as imgur.
Copy the BBcode of the image and paste it inside the thing.

Better explanations here: http://www.opticraft.net/index.php/topic,13728.msg129175.html#msg129175

Felix:
Or...

If the image is hosted elsewhere on the net, simply find the image address and 'wrap' it up inside img tags, like below in the code:

--- Code: ---[img]http://Your_image_address[/img]
--- End code ---

Hope that helps

Heres how to do it:


go to: http://imgur.com/

Step 1: Find the 'upload images' tab on the side (circled in red pen below) and select the 'computer' or 'web' upload button

(click to show/hide)
Step 2: You may select as many images as you want. When you have found all your images, click on 'start upload'

(click to show/hide)
Step 3: After your pictures finish uploading, you will be brought to this page. I highlited the link you need (BBCode). Copy it.

(click to show/hide)
Step 4: in your 'post reply' or 'start new topic' message box, just paste the BBCode.

(click to show/hide)
Should come out something like this:
