How do you get those pictures on there?

Love the forums!! ;D

I want to start posting a few contests myself, but I was wondering how you put those pictures on the posts.

Could anyone let me know? Thanks!!

Its easy - and I think it adds a nice touch!

When you're typing, you'll notice 2 rows of buttons above the smileys ("Add tags"). In the bottom row, you'll find the image tag (4th button from the left). Click on that and it will display the code "URL[ /img]". You need to replace the "URL" with the actual URL of the picture you're trying to post.

How do you get that URL? Most importantly, the picture must be published somewhere on the web (can't just be a file on your computer). Find the picture you want to use, and right click on it with your mouse. A drop down menu will appear. The last choice is one called "properties". Choose that option. In the middle of the screen that pops up, you'll find the address (URL). It looks like a web address and starts with http://

Copy that and paste it over the word URL in your message tag. When you post, the picture will appear instead of the code. Let me know if you have any problems. Good question - now lets get posting!! #nosmileys

It doesn't always work though - and sometimes I'm too lazy.
