FIRST you need the link for the image.
SECOND you need to paste it on the forum so we can see it.
If the image is something you saw online somewhere, you can copy the URL link to it. To do this in firefox, simply right click on the image and select "copy image location".
If the image is on your computer, then you need to upload it to the web first.
www.imgur.com is a great and simple image hosting site.
from the imgur site you can get the URL link to the image, and you can also get the link preformatted with the forum BB code.
To get the image into the forum, one of the buttons on the top post editing bar is for posting an image. just click it and paste in the link. If you got the BB code link from imgur, then it will work here without clicking the button.
No need to get confused by jargon - "BB code" or "forum code" is the code that produces an image. It's the same tags that you add to your posting to make something
BOLD or
ITALICS or
UNDERLINED.
(BB stands for Bulletin Board)
for example, If you just paste the link to the image, like this:
http://www.jc1701.com/firefly_serenity.jpg
then the forum will display the link, but not the image.
When you wrap the link in the IMG tag, then the forum knows it should display the image as a picture and not a weblink.
here is what the code to do this looks like:
HTML Code:
[IMG]http://www.jc1701.com/firefly_serenity.jpg[/IMG]
(it's not really HTML code, ignore that title)
and this is what you see in your posting if you just write the text above.:
Hope that helps!
