went through this the other day myself. happy to help :aok


you need to upload your pictures to a hosting site, like photobucket.
when youve done that, go to your album, and hover your cursor over the picture you want to put in the post on the BBS
there should be a number of codes/bunch of letters
you should see the IMG code.
clicking on that will automatically copy the code, then all you have to do is sign on to the BBS, and paste the code in the message box

tada!

Find the photo you want to post.  Upload it to something like PhotoBucket
Copy the IMG link from PhotoBucket, after upload.  Paste that link into your BBS topic.
Presto, there's your picture.

also if its in the Films and Screenshots section of the forum, you can just attach the pics to your post without uploading them to photobucket.

expand the "Additional Options" under the text area and attach the pics there :aok

I like tinypic better.. it's quick and instant and you don't need to sign up.  (It's actually run by photobucket.. kind of a photobucket 'lite')

1> Go to www.tinypic.com

2> Click browse and navigate to the image stored on your hard drive.

3> Click UPLOAD NOW

4> Type the two captcha words and click UPLOAD NOW

5> Copy the following line:

[IMG]http://i52.tinypic.com/picturename.jpg[/IMG]

and paste it in your post.

6> Click PREVIEW to make sure it works.  If so then click POST.

DONE!
