There have been quite a few people asking the same question on how to post their photos on the forum.

Here is a basic 'How to' guide.

1- Upload your photo onto a photo host like 'Photobucket', 'Imageshack' etc.

2- Once photo has been uploaded to a photo host, highlight and copy the [IMG] code. Some photos hosts have a selection for forums, sites, HTML code etc., if so choose 'FORUMS' code.
The code can looks something like this, [img]http%20://%20name%20of%20host%20here.com/albums/%20pic%200001%20.jpg[/img]

3- Once you have highlighted and copied the code, paste the code, (including the [IMG] either side of the code), in your post and Da da..... picture should appear.

4- If picture does not appear, than either the wrong code was used or there could be spaces or a part of the code missing. Just try copying again.

Hope this helps all the newbies.

you don't happen to know how to post an avatar, do you?

Do we have something like this stickied yet? Holy resurrected topics, Batman!

For Avatars:

Go to your User Control Panel, click Profile and then Avatar. Notice you have size limits (both pixels and KiB) on your image.

You can use a basic Paint program (most OS come with one) to crop and resize your image. You can also save in different formats (gif, png, jpeg) to lower file size (in bytes).

I prefer to upload my images/avatars to photobucket and link them in, that way I never lose my image.
