upload it to an image hosting site like imageshack or photobucket and then copy and paste the IMG code.

  1. Upload your image to somewhere that's web accessible. The two sites that KatrynKat linked to are both good options.
  2. Put the following code in your post:

    Code: Select all

    [img]http://www.yourserver.tld/pathtoimage/yourimage.png[/img]
    (Photobucket will give you the correct BBCode to use to link your image. Imageshack probably does it as well.)
I'm going to move this to PCF Online, sticky, and lock this, as this question keeps on getting asked. :P

EDIT (requested by Tannie Tribble)

A few further points:
  • Keep your images to a manageable size - generally, no larger than 800x600. People get annoyed when they have to load large images that take up the entire real estate and suck up their bandwidth.
  • Don't hotlink. This essay details what hotlinking is, and why it's a Bad Thing.

Umm whats a BBCode? Do I need a bb gun to use it? Also I am not a programmer so is there a simple non-programming way to do things? :P
