Here is a brief How To on posting images using the built in uploader and also using off site images such as ones from photobucket, tinypic, etc...
First we will show you how to upload pictures directly to the site using the file uploader.
When making a post click on the 'Upload Attachment' tab below the message editor box as shown below.
next click the 'Browse' button to select your file as shown below.
If you wish to add more then one image click the '+' button as shown below.
This will bring up additional upload boxes. You can remove a box also by clicking the '-' next to the individual upload box.
Once you have selected your image/s you can now add descriptions to the images if you wish. this is completely optional.
Once you have added your images you can now click the 'Add The File' button to upload your images.
Once you have uploaded your images you now have the option to place the images in line of your post. Adding them inline will place the images within the post. If you do not place them inline (Doing nothing) they will show up at the very end (Bottom) of your post.
CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE
Then when you are done with your post just click 'Submit' to post your message/post. That"s all there is to it.
The second method can be done 2 ways using off site images from image hosting site such as PhotoBucket, TinPic, Etc...
In this how to we will be using PhotoBucket.com
First select the IMG Code (Sometimes called Forum IMG Code) as shown below.
Once you have copied that code place it in your message as shown.
CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE
If your image host does not provide a IMG code then copy the direct image link (The full URL to the image) as shown below as example.
Then click the post image image button shown below to bring up the 'Inset IMG URL Dialog'
Once you have pasted the image url in the dialog box just click OK and thats all there is to it.
Hope this has helped everyone.
