NEWBIES GUIDE: Posting an Image / Picture


Here is a tutorial I made which was requested by a mod. coz people newbies kept on asking the him....

This is a little simple tutorial for posting images. You can use this for posting images or for your signature.

You just have to follow the steps and then you can post pictures. This is very simple Very Happy....

Step 1:
If you wanna post an image, you first have to choose an image you wanna upload or post or upload as your sig.

When you are done choosing what image you wanna post, you go to an image hoster like ImageShack or PhotoBucket or any website that can let you upload images and hotlink.

Here in the image above, Im using ImageShack as my Image Hoster. The same work in almost all Image Hosters.

Step 2:
After that, you click OPEN. Then you click on "host it!"

Step 3:
After that, a new page will appear and links will appear. Your Page would look like this:

The last link you see (link boxed in red) in the image above is the URL/link you will use for posting your image or signature.

Click on the link and then copy it.

Step 4:
Now, you click either click:
a.) Reply; If you reply to the thread you want to post your image in.
b.) New Topic; If you want to create a new thread and post images. Or...
c.) Profile; If you want to add an signature to your profile, scroll down and look for 'Signature'.

After that, you paste the link/URL you copied earlier in "Step 3".

While the link is still highlighted, you then click the IMG button.
Or type in

Code:
[img]
at the start of the link (before http); And type in
Code:
[/img]
at the end of the Link.

While the link is still highlighted, you then click the IMG button.
Or type in
Code:
[img]
at the start of the link (before http); And type in
Code:

at the end of the Link.

After your done with the IMG code, your link will now look like this:

Step 6:
If your link now looks like the third image of 'Step 5' with the IMG codes at the end and start, thats correct.

After that, you can either:
a. ) Click the 'Preview' button to see what your post will look like before you post it, and If your happy on whats on your message, you can click the 'Submit' button to see the your post.
Or
b.) you can click the 'Submit' button If you dont want to see or need to see the preview.

If you can see the image already, then you have now completed this tutorial for posting images/pictures Very Happy! Congratulations!

Info/Notes:

* For uploading a signature in your profile, there isnt any IMG button in the Profile, so you have to type the IMG codes for that.
* There also isnt any Preview in your Profile...
* The 'Reply' button
