[Mr Grey]

Was wondering how do you post images from your hard drive?

[Dave]

You have to add them as attachments. It's a lot easier if you use a image host though (imgur, picasa, photobucket, etc.)

[Mr Grey]

I'e tried the add image and the attch button but it doesn't show the image in the preview bit

[Lex]

you need to put the picture on a webbased server.....  eg. google picassa / flickr etc.....

a link looks like

using the Insert Image button to place the proper tags [img ] and [/img ]

Thx... do you have a good image size.... or one that must be used on the fourms?

[Lex]

most services allow you to "pick" various sizes to link too.... find one that shows details but dont cause the post to genereate scrollbars

I generally go with 640 x 480 px, for reference.

You can also surround the image with a link to a bigger size, like so:

Code: [Select]
