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

Too bad Photobucket nuked a whole bunch of collective knowledge on this site.

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.Sisu wrote:Too bad Photobucket nuked a whole bunch of collective knowledge on this site.
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.
