How do you post a picture?

[Brad]

To post a picture, click on the icon above and place the URL of the picture between.

Clicking on that icon will render the following [ img ] [ /img ] (without the spaces.  You simply insert the picture's address in between the bracketed commands.

what if its a picture on my computer?

[Brad]

It has to be hosted somewhere on the internet.  If you have one you would like uploaded, you can forward it to me via email.  Additonally, I believe Velcro and SCBullsFan have space others can use to host a picture.

Brad your too kind....I was thinking of an explanation something like this (no offense to bulls-n-beer)

First print the picture out. You have to have a paper copy so the internet can process it. Then take the printed copy and place it into your CD Rom drive, close the drive. If it doesnt auto load the computer didnt recognize the media format, that's okay, open the drive and put some water on the picture. This creates conductivity whith will allow the computer to recocgnize the media that you have given it. Now close the CD rom drive.

Go to the "My Computer" icon and click on the CD rom drive.  When you see the smoke that means the internet is accepting the picture......

I don't see any icon above that looks like that.

For clarification, the icon is on the "post" and "reply" screens.  There is additional help available via the "Help" link in the board's main title bar.

[smiley=whip.gif]  Thank you sir may I have another.  Old dog learning new tricks.  Thanks for the help Brad.  To bad my picture didn't post, it was a good one.

I bet it was...I looked at the URL - mmm-hmmm, shame on you.    

Frequently, when linking to pictures uploaded on other servers, the site hosting the picture will defeat the link for bandwidth reasons.
