Inserting Images & Photos
Into Your Posts

A picture paints a thousand words so they say.......

To embed an image in your post, the first thing to do is host your image somewhere on the internet.

You may now do this through our Forum.

You need to enable this feature first by going into your profile and turning the feature on.

The tickbox is located at the very bottom of your 'options' page.

Click here to goto your profile now
(opens in a new window)

Once you have turned the feature on you will be able to upload
images into your gallery area which is accessible through the top
menu, your profile and also on the post page when posting images.

If you do not which to have a gallery, but want to be able to host
your images here with us, you can still do so with the gallery
feature. Simply create a single album in your gallery and make it
PRIVATE. This means it is only viewable to you.
You can then place images into your posts easily via the
post screen by clicking on the images you have uploaded.

The images automatically thumbnail and become larger when clicked.
To keep the image full size in your post, alter the BB code in your post as below:

Code:

[gallery]image location[/gallery]
[gallery fullsize]image location[/gallery]
