Posting Pictures

[Richard]

There are 2 methods for showing pics on the bb.

First go User CP (top left of page)
then choose Edit Options under Settings and Options
scroll to near bottom and select Enhanced Interface from Misc Options
Then Save Changes at bottom

This gives more options when you post.

1) A pic can be displayed directly in a text post only if it is already hosted somewhere. Load it to your webspace, or photobucket or use a pic that's already on the web if it is ok to do so. Then use the "insert image" icon at the appropriate point in your text to enter the full web address of the pic and it will appear. You can check it's correct in Preview when it should display.

2) You can add a pic to the bottom of your post by uploading it to the bb server. Under your message window you should now find an Additional Options window. Click "manage attachments" and enter the address or browse for the pic on your PC for either of the top 2 boxes, or to upload them from another web location, enter in the bottom 2 boxes. Click upload and they should then show on your message preview. Note they have size limits and it may tell you if pics are too big.

gif and jpeg 175KB and 1024 x 1024 max

Links in text (I think) do not have limits but aim for up to 1000px. Wide 5Mb images are not popular and will be removed
