Here are instructions on how to post images to the forum. This is a work in progress, and I need to test it more, but for now this is how I think it works:
1. Upload your photo to a web site that allows hot linking. You can use your own personal web site or an image hosting service like Photobucket.com (free of charge).
2. After your picture is located somewhere online, copy the link address of the picture. You do this by right clicking on the picture and selecting "Copy Image Location".
3. Create a new thread or reply to an existing thread to open the message editing window.
4. Click on the image icon in the "Add Tags" bar, or simply type (img) (/img) with brackets "[ ]" instead of "( )", and place the image link between the two "img" commands.
5. When the (img)(/img) appears (brackets instead of parenthesis will appear), position your cursor between the center brackets and right click then click Paste.
6. Save your message and check if it displays. Please note that sometimes the Preview button won't properly display the images.
Also, there is now a "Youtube" function. To add a Youtube video, click the "Tube" icon in the Add Tags bar, and place your video URL in between, and you'll get this (sadly, they have advertising included, but what do you want for free?):
Let me know if you have any questions or problems.
