Here ya go, some wot I wrote for my forum

 

I am sure most of you already know how to post pictures, but in case any new members who are new t'internet don't know how, here's a few instructions. Anything else you need to know, just ask!

 

First of all open a second browser window, as you would when you first go onto the internet (keep the one that you have Mk1 Mk2 Transit Forum open in, this will help when you want to post your pics) go to http://www.photobucket.com by putting the address in the address bar, not via the link) and sign up for a free account.

You will then be directed to the page for uploading pictures. You can either upload one at a time, or directly under the 'Submit' button there is a drop down menu to select a number to do more than one at once.

 

To actually upload, click on the 'Browse' button. This will open another window with the pics on your computer in it. Click on the one you want to upload, and then click on 'Open'. This will close the little window and the code for your pic will appear next to the 'Browse' button. Repeat this if you have decided to do more than one at once, then click on 'Submit'. The words *Pictures Added will appear in red above the 'Browse' box.

 

Scroll down and you will see the pic(s) you have uploaded below, each one with three boxes below it, the bottom one is labled Img. This is the code you need to copy to your post. Click on this to highlight it, then right click and select 'copy' and click on that.

 

Return to the Mk1 Mk2 Transit Forum, and open your post. Put the cursor where you want the pic to go, then right click and select 'paste' and the HTML code for your photo should appear on the post! Click on the 'Preview' button and check that the pic will come out before you post ! Then if you are happy, click on 'Submit'!

 

That's it, you've posted a picture!

get an account at a photo hosting site like http://photobucket.com/ or http://www.flickr.com/, follow the instructions.... simple.

 

for posting photos from the web, right click the image go to 'properties', and then copy the image URL which might look something like this

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... ora_SX.JPG.

 

put that between (or click the Img button)

so it looks like , but without the spaces.

 

that should end up looking like this...

 

edit: too slow!
