Title: A question about posting pics
Post by BeaTheGooFan on Apr 25^th, 2005, 2:55am

Hello!
Seeing as I'm new to this whole posting on board thing, I was wondering how I may go about posting a pic. I just made a few awsome Johnny wallpapers that I want to share with you guys but I don't know how to post them. Can some one help me out?

Spanks!! (my way of saying thanks)
:P

I'm not sure about posting a wallpaper, since the size is so big; sometimes that will stretch the post real wide, and it makes it hard for some people to view. Maybe a link to the wallpapers would work better.
But to post a picture generally you need the URL for the pic; usually it's been hosted on a site somewhere.
When you post it, or place it in a sig, you need to put the letters img in brackets [stick img in here] before the URL and the slash followed by the letters img [/stick img in here too] after the URL.
Sorry we have to explain in in weird wording like that, but if we do it exactly, it never works, and just shows up goofy.

I'll try my best.

First of all your pictures have to be hosted somewhere on a website or a picture hosting site like picturetrail, imagestation, etc. You have to have a web address to link to.

Once you have that web address linking the picture is easy. You right click on the picture and scroll down to the bottom to "properties". Click on "properties".

Highlight the URL address and then right click again and "copy". You then come to the WOG and get your page open for a post

Then right click again and "paste" that URL address between the bracket like this ... [im*]www.yourpicturewebaddress.com[/im*] �The *= the letter "g". I had to take out the "g" for the example in this post or it gives me a box with a red X.

I hope this helps you. ;)

You're getting close. All you have to do is get the words img and /img in brackets before and after the link, and that should do it. Sorry you're having such a rough time at it.

Read through the info on the link Eva gave you. It's explained really well there:

Sassymay, when you stick that link in between the brackets like DWG said it will look like this.
