Help For Inseting Pics in the forums

I have tried to put pictures of my items in a post for everyone to see. I uploaded by using
the "manage attachments". But, that is as far as I get. Can someone tell me the next step to go from there?


Thanks for any help, in advance

*GASP* It can't be done!!


Actually, I have my pics hosted on my website, so I just click the image button and point it to the image's URL. I have tried uploading Images to SLs server then trying to use THAT url for the image, but I haven't gotten it to work.

the attachments thing just uploads and puts a link at the bottom of the post. what Aimee said is for if you want the actual pic to show up in the actual post.

Moved to technical issues for further discussion.

There's a great site out there for hosting images that you want to embed in forum posts: TinyPic. You can quickly upload any image up to 250KB in size, and it spits back a small URL that you can use in your post as part of an IMG tag.

For example, I've uploaded my forum avatar, and TinyPic returns the URL http://tinypic.com/1tptut. You can put this into an embedded image with the following markup in your post:

[ img ]http://tinypic.com/1tptut[ /img ]

Remove the spaces within the brackets; they're only in there to prevent my example from displaying an image. That would look like this in the post:



Works great for product shots, event screen grabs, or what-have-you.

Thank you, all for your help!!
