There’s a couple of different ways of posting pictures in threads. I will attempt to explain them here.
Method one: Attaching an image.
This is the easiest way to attach a picture to your thread.
When posting a new thread or replying to one, go down to where it says
Attach file: and click the Browse button.
A window will pop up you can now find the file of your picture on your computer, highlight the file, then click open and then click submit reply. That’s it. You my only link images with these extensions gif jpg png txt zip bmp jpeg. There is a size limit for files being attached, if the file is bigger then 170000 bytes please read this thread…
How to… resize and optimize images.
Method two: Hot linking an image.
In my opinion this is the best way to add images to threads. You can embed multiple images in a single post and you can put the images where you want in relation to text.
The image you want to use must be already on the web some where. If you don’t have your own website or web space you can put your images in to the
gallery here at TRT. If you don’t know the URL or web address of the picture you can go to the picture then
right click it, a menu should pop up, click on properties.
In the properties window there will be a line that says
Address: (URL) this is the address you will need. Highlight the address and
right click the highlighted text and copy it.
Now you can use this address in your posts. Just click on the IMG button and paste the address in the window that pops up.
I used windows XP for this "how to", if you use a different operating system your mileage might vary...
If anyone has questions or still needs help please post here in this thread or PM me.
