How to post a picture

[lagunamiata]

1. Host the picture you want to upload somewhere.
Some places to host:
www.fotki.com/
www.imageshack.us/

2. Once the photo is uploaded, get the link to the photo.
At Fotki, click on the "Share Photo" button, then click on "More sharing options" and choose the direct link to photo.
It'll look like this:
images15.fotki.com/v264/photos/7/71028/3107850/na6ce-vi.gif
At ImageShack, choose either the direct link to image or hotlink for forums.
Direct link looks like this:

3. Click the 4th button on the second row in the forum, its the Insert Image button.
This will place code that looks like [ img ][ /img ] - but without the spaces.

4. Paste your link from above BETWEEN the ][
It'll look like this, without the spaces:
[ img ]http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/9677/na6cevi0ai.gif[ /img ]
If you have the Hotlink for forums from ImageShack, just paste that into the post. Again, no spaces in the real link.
[ URL=http://imageshack.us ][ IMG ]http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/9677/na6cevi0ai.gif[ /IMG ][ /URL ]

Alternatively, paste the link into your post, highlight it and click the Insert Image button. That will add the code to your link.

Now you should be able to see the image!
