The complete How to post pics guide!

Post by kenny » Wed Mar 01, 2006 11:03 pm

Dead simple.

Pick one of the free photo hosting sites listed below. Upload pics, instructions usually supplied by site and are idiot proof.

Then see these simple instructions from the phpBB help pages (this is the technology on which the Scottish Elises forum is based)...


Adding an image to a post
phpBB BBCode incorporates a tag for including images in your posts. Two very important things to remember when using this tag are: many users do not appreciate lots of images being shown in posts and secondly the image you display must already be available on the internet (it cannot exist only on your computer for example, unless you run a webserver!). To display an image you must surround the URL pointing to the image with [ img] and [ /img] tags. For example:

[ img]http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif[ /img]

...would generate:

Image

If you want to be really clever, you can even wrap an image in a tag if you wish, to make it "clickable", e.g.

[ url=http://www.google.com/][ img]http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif[ /img][ /url]

...would generate:

Image


Still unsure?
