Posting photos

Post by Hana T » Sun Mar 25, 2007 8:15 pm

ok so, its not really to do with the burn but... how do you post photos so that people can acually see your picture in your message? i know you have to have it on the internet, but it dosnt work if you upload a picture to say flickr.com and then use the link. whats the easiest way to post pictures in your message if you cannot put them on a website first. im sure people ask shit like this aaaall the time but this is really killing me.

any one got any tips? or tell me where im going wrong/right?

Hello Hana...

First you must go to your profile page and make sure that the box marked "enable html" is checked. You can then post any webbased pic. I've used a photobucket account before, so I'd think that flicker would work also. You should be able to go to where the pic is posted, copy the picture's url, then paste that into the body of your message. After that, highlight the text and click the "Img" button at the top of the text entry box. Preview this to see, but it should work.

Looks like it could be an image shack thing. Do they offer different image links? Photobucket does, and some of them do differnet things.
