how do you tranfer a photo from one site on computer to here in forums.sorry but i feel so dumb not knowing this. but its driving me crazy.please tell me every step because i am computer idiot.

This was discussed a couple of days ago some very helpfull stepwise instructions. Do a search for "img"

The search engine doesn't work.

[img*]insert url here[/*img]

(remove the * when doing this though)

Find the image that you want to use, right click on it, select "properties". Then, copy and paste the url from the new window that will pop up. Use that url in the code above.

If you want simply to paste an image you have seen on a website into a thread, you need to have the web address for the image.

In order to do this:

Right click with the mouse on the image and select 'Properties.'

Highlight with your mouse(left click and hold whilst dragging over the text) the web address shown. Right mouse click on the highlighted address and select 'Copy'.

In the message you are composing type:

[ img ] but without any spaces between the brackets and letters

Then paste the image web address by pressing Ctrl and V buttons on your keyboard together.

Then type [ / img ] but again without any spaces at all.

When you preview or post your thread, the image should be 'called' from the source to which you have referred.

So, for example, I have done just this for soapstone's avatar image above, the address for which is:

http://www.prince.org/dat...s/2787.ava

if I put the code around it, it should show below:



Voila.

Now, if you want to show an image of your own, you need to get it on to a website first.

There are other threads explaining that some people have found websites which allow you to upload your own image and keep it on their site.

You'll need to look back to find those threads or some kind soul might paste a website address here for you.
