Ah... the pigmies... what a wonderful little bunch of ppl... WHO SHOULD HAVE MOVED TO A BETTER LOCATION 1000s OF YEARS AGO (just kidding God, please dont strike me down, it was a slip)

Hey thanks, I just hope it catches on. We need more people posting interesting topics where ppl will want to come see.

hey! I just registered and I'm hoping to make a tutorial about painting churchills. Surprised

Though I just started flames of war I think they look pretty nice, I just need to figure out how to take close-up pics better!

Forums seem great, nice idea anarch.

NP... I am about to leave for a Drs appointment but as soon as I get back I will do it and make it a sticky in all of the galleries.

I know Anarch is going to make a sticky but in the meantime I will try to help.
The first and most important thing you need to do is either host the pic up on a website or find it on a website somewhere. If you can find the picture online simply right click and do copy link location. Say I found the pic in my sig online (on my site), I just right click and do copy link location and now I have this:

http://www.geocities.com/revengance2002/churchillsmall.jpg

The above is great for larger pictures, or if you have it in a gallery and you wish people to see the other pictures. But if you wanted the picture shown directly on the forums, simply put [img] before the link location, and [/img] after the link location. Make sure there aren't any spaces between the [img] and [/img] and the link location. Do this and you will end up with:

If you want it's possible to host a picture up and then have a link when you click on the picture. This is were things start to get a little tricky. This is done by first, copy the link location of the larger picture and then write [url=thelinklocation.jpg[img]smallerpiclinklocation.jpg[/img][/url] You now will have:

*REMEMBER* The picture has to be hosted somewhere online as far as I know. It cannot be located on your hard drive or anywhere else on your computer.

Some picture hosting sites:

Free Picture Hosting
Image Shack
FreeImgHosting
Any site that lets you build a site for free...Geocities, Free Webs, Etc.
Many more probably.

Hope this helps you out.

Thanks Snailaim.

Will have to look into this posting lark.
Technology is not my friend but luckily I have a colleague here in the shop who knows about these things.

Cheers.
Dave.
