    OK I'm not the most frequent of posters so still haven't got my head round all the tools and sh*t (or the technical jargon! :lol:) but if I want to insert image to a post how exactly do I go about it? where do I get a URL from a picture I already have on my pc? Have been looking for about half an hour (good job I'm at work and not losing valuable family time!) :wink2:

    gotta upload it somewhere like photobucket then click the image url and on your post you'll see a little mountain (it's between a quote block and a world) click that and paste the url in.

    Either use the Mountain Icon(yellow) or insert link between [​IMG]


    EDIT: if you use the Moutain Icon make sure to erase the http:// when the box opesn up.
    if not the link will have http://httpwwwphotobucket.... which causes the red x

    Yup, when you post just hit this icon [​IMG] and copy and paste your URL into that box. It's as simple as that. :up:

    For forums like this one, you can click the box at Photobucket, "IMG Code - Forums & Bulletin Boards" and it will copy the correct link for you. Then, all you have to do is paste in the URL exactly as you received -- nothing needs to be added.

    Especially for numnuts like me! I was sure you had posted an answer (or similar tutorial) to this some time ago gish and was looking all over but just couldn't find anything.

    Here, I got the pic from photobucket though.

    AH OK, thats the pic I wanted to post in the Derek Hagan thread!

    Thanks to all of you for helping, really appreciate it!:up:
