Title: inserting an image on this forum??
Post by: draginit on February 02, 2007, 09:13:14 pm
hey everyone,  got an easy question,,  i use forums frequently but i dont insert images often, i see the link that will create the image in the list of icons but how do i create the url that goes ther.   i thought opening a pic with IE and then pasting the URL between the [img]'s would do the trick...is there something im missing, image size?, location, file type?,..etc..
thanks for any help and tolerations towrads a retarded question...and i figured this would be the place to post it...thanks

Oh, i see what you mean.  You wanted to post a picture from your computer, not one thats already online somewhere else.  Sounds like you already have it figured out, but just in case, all you need to do is click on "additional options..." below where you type in your post, then click the "choose..." button.
