I’ve seen images in posts…lolcats mostly, and wanted to add something too, but just cant figure out how.

I have read the instructions

From: someone
To attach a file to a new post, simply click the [Browse] button at the bottom of the post composition page, and locate the file that you want to attach from your local hard drive.

But I don’t see the Browse button.

What am I missing?

To post an image the image must be hosted on a website such as photobucket or flickr. It can also be hosted on any web site that allows links to thier images. Copy the image URL. Such as _http://www.imagehost.com/image.jpg_

Post the image by typing the image will appear in the post.

(leave out the underscores on the URL)

"CX"

Usually I copy and paste my image but it just gives a link - if I'm lucky.

Take off the '?v=0' at the end of the link.



If you click 'All Sizes' above your Flickr image and scroll down a bit, it will take you to a page with the correct postable URL.

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

Usually, the easiest way to figure out how someone did something is to click 'Quote' their post and see how it's laid out. Then just back out.

I did Ann thanks. But that’s what’s got me confused.
Some show links to like /imageshack/ with the [img]thing but others show no link at all and have an “Attached Images” above the picture. Specifically the Da Sexy Avie thread has a mix of different options it seems. Even looking at the last two posts from today are different with one seemingly having an image attached and the other with a link. :confused:

Some of the forums allow attachments too - Gallery and Classifieds definitely do - but you can use image tags everywhere.
