How do I put a picture in a thread?

Sorry, I know this is my second question about pictures in a week, but how do you put pictures in messages? I still haven't got the hang of this thing yet. Does it have to be on a website or can I put one on from my computer?

Thanks in advance! smile

Yes, it has to be on a website. You need to get the full web address of the image and stick it in between the [img] and [/img] tags on the message you're posting. So the text in your message will look something like this :

[ img]http://www.websitecontainingimage.com/imagename.jpg[/img]

(I've had to put a space in between "[" and "img" here in order for you to see it, that space normally wouldn't be there).

re: your other thread on this topic - There are some websites etc. that don't allow images to be linked in this way, Yahoo is probably one of them which is probably why you couldn't link from there.

You can get the web address of the image in question by right clicking the image and then selecting 'properties'. You'll then see the URL for the image and as noted above just put it in between the [img][/img] and you're done.
