I know this question is asked to death,
how do you post pics, is it in FAQ
In hillbilly terms so I can understand.
thanks John

well you have to have them hosted somewhere, meaning you can't just link them off of your hard drive. after that you just copy and paste the address of the pic. you just put [img ]address of picture[/img ](don't put spaces between the bracket and the img) thats it. it's really easy after you do it a couple times.

Actually, you can also attach a file...generally, an image.

Simply...assuming it's under the max file size (roughly 100kb, which allows for a decently large / high quality image), see the button "Choose" underneath the post box? (Not quick reply, has to be full reply / post mode). Click that and browse to the picture on your harddrive that you want to post. It will be stuck on to the end of your post. You can only do one per post, though.

Hey French, if your pics are too large, you can email them to me and I'll resize them for ya and send them back, or I can resize them and post them for ya.

I used to use Webshots but had too many problems with them. Another board member (Mudder67) recommended this site and it's been working great.

You should be able to post pics right from your hard drive ( I do it all the time) but the pic can't be larger than a certain size so you might have to resize your pics to be able to post them. I don't recall what the maximum size is but I think it has to be under 60KB and no larger the 640 x ??? pixels.

Hope this helps..........
