Image Help

[Sailor Earth]

This is how to put an image in a post (and your sig):

1. Right click on the image you want to use (make sure the place you're linking from allows this, first, otherwise the image will either not show up, or the owner of the image will get annoyed that it's been used without permission)

2. Go to "Properties"

3. There'll be a URL eg. 207.44.144.11/boardimages/img.gif . Copy the URL, and place/paste it in between the img brackets... <<this image... 4th button from the left...

or... [/img]


I hope this helps answer any questions regarding posting images here. If you need any more help, ask here

That was helpful, but do you think Yahoo images or Google images are ok for coping pictures?!

Yeah they're fine, just right-click then Properties and you can copy from there.

The only problem with that is that the pics you're copying may not be free for linking (eg. it won't show up in a post or alternatively the person who "owns" the site it's on may not appreciate it being hot linked without their permission) ... it's better and safer to save any image you find to your computer and to re-upload it to your own account that will allow image linking.

www.photobucket.com is probably the easiest to use, but there are others around the place as well that work well too.
