pictures in post??

[elkhunt52]

I posted a couple of pics in my "Finaly new tires" post and people are telling me they can't open them? What do I need to do? It's in the tire and wheel section.

i seen that post and haent had much time on here the last few weeks
were did u upload them to if they are on ur profile then open the picture and copy the img link and paste it where u want to
also u can use the attachment feature in the advance posting option it will upload right off ur computer

I think i know what you did. You used the paperclip icon and tried to attach them, right?

For images, you can use the attachement emblem, but you still need to get the URL that it will give you to post for your picture, or you need to upload them to a site such as imageshack or photobucket. I personally use photobucket. I believe you can upload to imageshack without creating an account, but you are limited. I know photobucket accounts are completely free, and i believe imageshack is the same.

Once the images are uploaded to a site that can host them, you put image tags around the URL given to you by these sites. The image tags are [IMG]yourURL[/IMG]. Or you can click on the yellow image of the mountain, and insert the URL in the box that pops up here on the forum, and hit okay and it will add the IMG tags for you. Then when you hit post, you image will appear.

Hmmm. Did not work. Blue line will you be able to tell if it works or not if you hit the "preview post" button. I don't want to mess up the post with failed efforts. I have my stuff in Photo Bucket--but I'm not doing something right. Do you right click? then what?

[blueline15]

hmm, let me work on it. dont be embarrassed. its okay to not get it at first.

but yes, when you hit preview post, you should be able to see your picture if it is linked right.

Blueline when you click on the thumbnails it takes me to photo Bucket. Does it do the same thing for you? Weird.

try just uploading the pics onto your personal gallery here and then use the insert photo thing and post the url
