Hi Bob,

Paul has written some instruction on this, see link below;

derbosoft.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=106

Essentially as the forum does not host images as such, they must be uploaded to a photos sharing/hosting site such as Flickr or Photobucket. I personally use Photobucket for general low quality images and Airliners.net for my best shots. The image is on the photo sharing site's server and it is simply resolved to from your thread here. You'll need to set up an account but they are generally free.

I would recommend that you resize your images to 1000x667 pixels (3:2 ratio) as they will flow and fit properly then when people read the thread your photos are in, meaning the reader will not have to scroll horizontally to see the whole picture although this does entirely depend on the readers screen resolution.

When you have successfully uploaded your shot to your photo sharing site, right click on the full size image and select properties. Copy the line listed for the 'Address (URL)'.

When you are then in your message dialog box, replying to or making a new thread, click on the picture icon from the 'Add Tags' sub-section, this will give you {img}{/img} (but with square brackets around). Simply place your cursor in the middle of the string, i.e. {img}here{/img}.

Paste the line you copied from your image properties, it should look something like this; {img}http://i879.photobucket.com/albums/ab352/Monvillez/IMG_7413.jpg?t=1281307664{/img}

Preview your post to make sure you are happy with it and then post it.
