For a long time now, I have been having problems uploading pictures of my products in the "New Products" section of the forums. I was told by a friend to go to the icon in the upper left hand corner called "Inset Image" and copy and paste from a website that you have uploaded your picture to.

My question is:

Is there another way of doing it? I notice that not all people use the "inset image" icon.

Any help will be greatly appericated.

And many thanks in advance.

Hi Karamel! It can work like [ img ] your URL here [ /img ] but take the spaces out.

Hi, Karamel! Cerise's advice is good for the Resident Answers portion of the forums, but in New Products you actually have a better option. And you should use it, because ads with pics work sooooo much better.

Start a new thread in a New Products section, and scroll down to the Additional Options section. Hit the blue button labeled "Manage Attachments", and it will allow you to upload jpegs --- I think up to three of them? Be sure the width is less than 530 pixels or so, it is very annoying to have the forum format stretch way out because of a picture.
