How To Post Pictures, Resize Pictures and Add/Edit Your Avatar
Not Safe for Work Rules and Guidelines
If you want to post pictures, first you need to get a photo host, like Photobucket or Imageshack or ImageEvent
In order to post a picture in your posts, you need to follow these three easy steps:
1) Resize your photo and save it as a JPG.
- If your picture is too big (ie larger than 800x600 pixels) it will take too long for everyone to download and it won't fit on most people's screens.
- If you don't already have photo editing software, there's an excellent freeware utility called Easy Thumbnails that couldn't be any easier to use.
2) Host the photo on a webserver.
- If your internet service provider doesn't include web space, use Imageshack. There's no registration required and it's ridiculously easy.
3) Link to the photo in your post.
- You can either use the insert image button in the Post New Thread window or you can use IMG tags in your post like this:
**If you can't find the address of your picture you can always right click on the picture and then look for "Link Properties" then you'll see the "Address"
