Curious about the forums...

[SaintInix]

So, I decided to put this here, because no where else seemed appropriate.


My question is, how do I insert images into my posts?


I've tried BBcode, but it says I'm not allowed.


I wanted to put in banners on my Early project feedback thread, I designed some nifty looking ones.


Any help would be great, thanks in advance.

How to upload the image to the forums


Now that you have you have an image on your computer you'd like to show us, how can you get it to show up on the forums? Firstly, you need to find an image hosting site, photobucket.com or imageshack.us are popular ones. If you have another image uploading website, great - use that one! Either way, upload it to the site, and then get the direct link. Don't get the resized link, or the thumbnail link, but the direct URL. You'll know you have the direct URL if the URL ends with the file extension you saved your image in (which will hopefully be .png).



Once you have this direct URL to your image, simply use the IMG tags in your forum post and paste the URL in between them. If this image is big, please leave the image in spoiler tags.

That's what I did, I didn't get the direct link.


My bad on that one, been a while since I've had to link images to forums.


Thanks Andar.
