How To Post A Picture Or Image

To use the attachment feature of the forums, follow this link;

How to attach a photo to a post

If you right click and select "Open link in new window" or new tab, you can refer to it as you work without having to print it out (not recommended).

To use a third-party host, like ImageShack, Photo Bucket, Picassa, or any of the other image hosts follow the directions on their site.

For this post. I'm going to use ImageShack, as you don't need an account to host an image with them, if you don't care about finding that image ever again.

Re: How To Post A Picture Or Image

OK, so let's get some terminology straight.

Right click means to point at something with your mouse cursor and then push the right mouse button.

Left click (or just click) means to point at something with your mouse cursor and then push the left mouse button.

Step 6. Use the fancy editor.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Please note: This step is required only once. This step will ensure you can see the same things on your screen as I can see on mine. You can leave your editor choice as it is for ever now. You might prefer it to the more basic one. I just leave mine set here.
