Title: Stupid Question

hello everyone,
this might seem like a stupid question, but how do you add images to your posts. like the pictures that are in your 'my pictures' folder.
help appreciated!!!

thanks

You need to have some space somewhere on the internet, to upload them.
After you have uploaded them, you give a link form there to here, warping it in the IMG tags, that are above the window in which you type your post.

Like that:
here is the link to my external place where I have pictures
http://www.cmusicforum.com/fenix/Pictures/Avatar.jpg

Warp it in IMG tags [IMG][/IMG]

and there you go.

If you do not have a place to put them, you can try the various photobucket or whatever. I do not use them generally. I can recommend you to download Picasa, a really nice program by google, freeware, which comes with a 1 GB of space on the internet and you upload them with one click. Getting the image link afterwards is however a little bit tricky

thanks man, but what about if i want to paste a picture directly under what i'm writing right now. not a link or anything, just a normal picture??

huh?
I did not get what you mean. You want to do it so that people can see the pictre, like the example I gave above (my avatar) or something else?

In any case you need a link. This board does not support attaching images in any other way. You need a link and then you warp it in tags - these things are called tags - [IMG][/IMG]

So it should look like

[IMG]pastecompletelinkhereIMG]

and when this is a valid picture it would just show itself :)
