Posting pics

Hi guys! I need your help..how do I post pics here? Just wondering-Zach Thanks
 
Hi Zach,

I am suprised no one has posted the answer yet so I will.

1st)  You need to upload the picture from your computer to a website.  You can use your present webpage.  I recently started using the webpage offered by Exotic gardens as it allows me to post pics of any size I choose.  I mention this because some sites won't allow you to link to pics on their servers.

2nd)  Right click on the photo.  Select 'properties'.  Highlight the Address (url).  Make sure you get it all.  Sometimes the URL is very long and scrolls down several lines.  Then right click the highlighted URL and select 'copy'.

3rd)  Go to the forum you wish to start a topic in or post a reply in.  Click the 'new topic' button or the 'add reply' button.

4th)  When you have typed in your message and are ready to insert the picture, click the button labled 'Image' just above the box you type your post in.  A box labled 'Explorer User Prompt' will appear in the upper left corner of the monitor with the letters http:// highlighted in blue.  Right click the highlighted area and select paste.  Then click ok. you're done!

Hey i was just wondering why i get this error every time i follow your instructions. I cant figure out what it wants me to do or what is wrong with the way i am trying to post my pic.

This is the error message:
THE FOLLOWING ERROR(S) WERE FOUND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are not allowed to use that image extension on this board. A valid format is: http://www.domain.com/picture.gif, an invalid format is: http://www.domain.com/picture.one.gif

Does anyone know what that means because i cant figure out what it wants.

Thanks
