A. Downloading images from your computer, to host account, and to post on the forum.

Step 1
Locate the image on the computer hard drive that is to be posted.

Step 2
Host the image that is to be posted. There are many image hosting services on the Internet that can accomplish this task such as, Photobucket or ImageShack. Follow the steps on the hosting site that was chosen and upload the image from your computer.

Step 3
Obtain the source address for the image. Once the image is hosted it now has a source address. The source address is the images location on the host server. A source address appears similar to an Internet site address with one exception there is no www in the source address.

Step 4
Insert the source address inside image markup tags. Markup tags are what enable the blogs and message boards to differentiate the image from regular typed text. An example of these tags is between the following quotation marks "[IMG] insert web source address [/IMG]" or use the "Image Icon" from our forums reply box. See picture below. By using this method, you will not need to use the img tag. "[IMG][/IMG]"

Step 5
Click "Preview Message/Post" to make sure that you have uploaded the picture properly before submiting your message.

Step 6
If everything is good, then click "Submit Message/New Thread" and you're done.

FYI: You can practice by sending yourself a Private Message.
