Posting photos
Posting a photo or picture on the wiki and the forum requires two different procedures.
Contents
Posting on the forum
The forum software cannot store photos, so you will need to save your photo somewhere on the internet where the forum has constant access to it. There are several sites which will save or host photos for you.
Tinypic
The following example shows Tinypic.com, as being one of the easiest to use.
Step 1
Go to tinypic.com by clicking this link and you should be presented with a page like this:
Ignore all the adverts and flashing graphics, you're only interested in the highlighted area.
Step 2
Click "Browse" and a window like this should appear:
This window shows the files stored on your computer. Find the file you wish to upload, highlight it and click "Open".
Step 3
Back on the tinypic page, select "Image" or "Video" as appropriate. Click the resize drop down and select either (800x600) or (640x480). The first will give a slightly larger picture, but either will do.
Step 4
Click "UPLOAD NOW!" and you'll be presented with a captcha screen like this (it's just a deterrent to spammers):
Follow the instructions on the captcha screen and click "UPLOAD NOW!".
Step 5
You'll then be presented with this screen:
Highlight the code in the "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards", box. Copy it and paste it where you want the photo to appear in your forum post.
