How do you attach photos to a post????

Post by knotworking »

I've tried everything I can think of, but can't figure out how to post photos onto a post.

Go to http://www.tinypic.com
"Browse" to find the image on your computer
I always "resize" to website / email
click on "Upload Now" (enter the security do dat)
When uploaded you will see "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards" and under that will be a address that looks something like this img]http://i66.tinypic.com/1y7kh4.jpg"
Copy and paste that into the post

I have not been able to work out how to flip the image though, even when i flip the original and save it tiny image reverts it back, however if you click on the image it shows it in its correct orientation

Aint that the truth! Not just here, but so many forums. I get it, costs money to host photos. Just sad they couldn't make it work for "free" or at least for a reasonable fee.

Admins/Mods: Is there any way to make a How To post photos in the How To section?

How To Section HERE

Or a sticky someplace? This seems like the most common question new forum users have since posting photos directly isn't supported.
