hey guys, Tornado here. Here is how to post a picture.. Hope I helped!
Many new photography forum participants don’t know how to post, or embed, an image within a forum message. The process is quite simple and the method is similar for most forums. The image must first be uploaded to a server such as at an online photo hosting site.
To post an image, use its full URL
Copy URL
Click for larger version
Go to the image at a hosting service, right click it and open the Properties menus.
Next, highlight the full address (URL), copy the URL and then paste it into the subject area in a forum post. For the image to appear, you MUST include the .jpg extension.
Generally, you should get the URL from the image itself, not the address bar of a browser.
For example, below is the full URL to a thumbnail photo in the Digicamhelp Photo Galleries. One space has been added after the http: so you can see the how the text is supposed to appear (you wouldn’t normally add a space).
http: //www.digicamhelp.com/gallery/thumbs/256-graceful-goose.jpg
