In order to post pictures on this forum, you must use a web based image storage serve such as

Photobucket
http://photobucket.com/

Flickr
http://www.flickr.com/

just to name a few. I use Flickr, so that is what I will be using for this demo...

Step 1: Upload your photos to the web service. See their page on how to do this. Most sites will allow you 200 images for free

Step 2: Open the image in the web application. In Flickr, you need to select the "All Sizes" button:



Step 3: A lager version of your picture will appear. At the bottom of the page there will be a link to that picture. Highlight and copy this link to your clipboard (Ctrl + C for all you Windows users)





Step4: In the LBG post, at the top, select the "Img" button once. You will see the brackets where your cursor was....



Step5: Paste the link to your picture between the brackets...



Step 6: Select the "preview" button at the bottom of the post to make sure all your links are good.

That is all there is too it.

Note: If you delete an image in your web storage page, the image will be deleted (dead link) on the LBG post

Jason - you should make this post a sticky so it can be referenced.

Ecellent post Jason. This will save lots of questions for people. Well done indeed!

Make my what sticky!!!

How do you do that Rob, or is it an Admin function (Sean?)?

Jeff...I am from the Government and I am here to help.

Jason

Its a Admin function.
I also recommend showing how to post pics off Photobucket as well.
Nice FAQ.

Is there anyway to have the forum auto resize pics? Other forums I post to have this feature. This allows two things.

1) Keeps pics at a manageable size so load times are decreased
2) Keeps from having to use a program to resize ourselves so they fit better on the forum

Thanks.....

If you give me an example, I can work it out.
