    Step 4: You image should appear in the text field, when your done simply click "Post Reply" and your image along with your post will be available to the community for viewing as they read the forum thread.

    Of course there is the option of simply uplaoding the image through a link, this can be normally be achieved by clicking the tree icon and then pasting the direct URL to the image... unfortunantly this doesn't always work in which case you have to type a little BB code:
    Code:
    [IMG]Image link goes here[/IMG]

  8. I simply wanted to reserve the place of first post so when I made the tutorial it would be highly visible making it easy for players having the trouble to find ;)
  9. my computer is reall slow, so i wouldnt be suprised.
  10. what if the picrure is off the internet?
  11. Do you use Window?
  12. yes
  13. Right click, then save the picture. Then upload it:)
  14. Then that is the bit at the bottom of he post, I'll repeat myself though:

    Copy the link of the image you want (This can be achieved by right clicking on the image and then clicking "Copy link address" or something similar to copy image URL.
    When you want to insert the image type the following
    Code:
    [IMG]image URL or address goes here[/IMG]
    Does this help you?
    If not try copying the link of the image and then clicking on the tree button in the edit post options thing, put the link in there ;)

    If your really having trouble I'll do an image tutorial for this method also :D
