Posting a picture in a post?

[Davis2001R6]

I am lost when it comes to putting a picture in a post. I see the "Img" button, but how do I post a picture from my computer at home not one that's already in the gallery.
Thanks,
TIM

Tim, You have to upload it to the gallery or some other place on the net where you can then copy and paste the url into the post. Click on the "Img" paste the url for your photo and click on the "Img" again. That should do it.

You have to first upload it to a server somewhere on the web. The easiest thing to do is create an album here, wet the permissions so that no one can see it but you, then upload the picture to that album. Right-click & select "Properties" to get the url of the photo (don't use the url of the page that displays the photo), paste the url into your post, surround it with the [img] tag and you're done.

I'm looking at doing some upgrades to the board, one thing that would be included would be the ability to attach files. But, that will take quite some time to finish because of all the modifications we have on the board now. I don't want to lose any of the features we have during the upgrade.

So Hooli, when you put your gun for sale, you just created an album and changed the permissions so that only you could see it? If so then I think i have it figured out. Thanks guys!
