Need Instructions on How to Post Pictures

Can I just select "attachment" to post a picture? Are there any size limitations? If not an attachment then how do I include pictures in my posts?

i've never noticed the 'attachment' before.. hmm..




edit: oh, that worked. I browsed to the picture I wanted to put up and posted the reply and the pic appeared in the post.

If it were me, I'd just create an album on www.imgur.com (free image hosting. just drag your pics onto the page) then post the album url here.

There are size restrictions on what you can "attach", and they are pretty small since the board software is old. But, you've at least found the "reply to post" page, to have that option! So you are on the right track!

I personally think the easiest way is to upload them to an online site like imgur.com and then you can have clickable links to the pictures, or embed them without the same size constraints, as they aren't "here".

http://imgur.com/ "upload pictures" button, from either your computer or the web, and then the image is online, and easy to link to. I put one in and here it is. http://i.imgur.com/Vg3ZYrA.jpg When you just copy and paste a full address like that, it will show up as a clickable link.

When you want to actually put the picture in your post, you can use the link button above the text edit window to create a named link to that picture. it looks like a chain on a globe. It'll ask where first, and then what you want it to say. You Are Here, From Spirit Rover on Mars
