Title: 'How to' Question...
Post by: PearlieGirl on August 10, 2013, 10:29:51 PM
Its been eons since I've been on a forum and can't seem to figure out how to post a picture... when I tap the 'attachments and other options' button below the block I've typed my verbage in... nothing happens...'Help' section didn't clarify 'how to' either...

Could someone be so kind as to tell me what I'm missing?
Pretty please♄

Hey Pearl!  I had the same problem and Lunican was good enough to help me out.  Here is what he told me. Also go to the full "reply" page, not the quick reply.  On the full page there is an icon for Imgur.  :)

    To post photos just go to http://imgur.com, upload your photo and copy the BBCode (large thumbnail size) into a post.

    Example:

    Code: [Select]

@pearliegirl, at the moment you can't upload a picture directly to the forum.

However, you can still share a picture in the forum. Here is how...

1. Upload the picture to any online site like facebook.com or imgur.com (really easy site to use if you don't want to add images to your facebook page).

2. Right click on the image and select the option that says something like "copy image URL".

3. Paste the image URL into the reply box.

4. Highlight the URL.

5. Click on the picture icon directly above the reply box. Click the icon that kind of looks like the Mona Lisa. It's the one located to the right of "f" in the red circle and below the italics "I" icon.

6. That's right you can also just copy the BBCode on imgur !

But if the image you want to share is already uploaded somewhere on the internet just right click and get the image URL.
