adding pix - justfishing80 - 12-03-2009 how to add pix? adding pix - marlo - 12-03-2009 There are image hosting websites that offer space to save photos and provide the HTML code for insertion into posts on forum websites. A good free one is Photobucket.com.  There are many others to choose from. Select the image hosting service you like and upload your photos.  Now, using the codes the service provides (usually the "IMG" code), you then embed it within your post by following these steps: a.  If you want the image to be the first thing in the post, start with step b.  Otherwise, start typing the text for your post.   b.  When you get to the place where you want to insert an image, open a separate window to your image hosting website and go to the image you wish to insert. c.  Determine which code is the one for placing the image in a forum post. (The image hosting website should explain this - they're all different.  For Photobucket it is the code in the "IMG" box.)   d.  Copy the code. e.  Go back to the post you are preparing. f.  Paste in the code. g.  Continue typing your text or, if there is a second image, just repeat the process.   h.  Repeat the process each time you want to embed an image.   If this procedure does not work or you do not like the appearance of your post, use the edit function (<img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l110/olram9/Miscellaneous/edit.gif" alt="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l110/olram9/Miscellaneous/edit.gif" style="border:0" />) to go back in and try again.  Don't be bashful. Experiment. You can always immediately use the <img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l110/olram9/Miscellaneous/edit.gif" alt="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l110/olram9/Miscellaneous/edit.gif" style="border:0" /> function and delete or change any post content that you wish.  <span class="petit">--Last edited by marlo on 2009-12-03 19:36:34 --</span>
