How do you post pictures here on the board? I`ve tried on numerous occasions with no luck. Yes I did read the forum faq. If I want to post a picture that I upload to oh lets say my website on geocities how the hell do I get it on the post instead of linking to it?

All you have to do is type your correct URL and the highlite it and click on the "Img*" button on the control panel above you messege or put a "[img]" and then your URL then "[/img]" after it. Do not add the quotation marks.

sign up for an account here at msn groups. http://groups.msn.com/home.msnw?pgmarket=en-us

upload your picture, then right click on it and goto propertise, highlight and copy the adress [url] of the picture. then come to the board, and click the img button once, paste the adress of the picture after the [img] then click the img button again...if you need a better explanation, ill try and make it more simple.[/img].

the problem with using geocities is that they no longer allow you to hotlink images. inother words you cant post pictures that are hosted on there websites on non geocities webpages. i believe angelfire and tripod do the same thing.

I'll let anyone put pics on my web server and link to them if they ever want. Just let me know.

Linking a Geocities picture:

Open your "file manager" from the www.geocities.com page. You may need to sign in first, but it will be on the right in the "Advanced Toolbox".

Choose the "Upload Files" button on the right side of the screen, and upload the picture file you intend to use.

After uploading the picture, locate it in your file list.

Check the box next to your picture and choose the "Rename" button at the top or bottom of the screen.

Rename the file with a .txt extension. Example: picture.txt

On this board, link it as such:

[img]http://www.geocities.com/sample/picture.txt[/img]

where "sample" is replaced with your username, and "picture.txt" is replaced with the filename you want to use.

The above picture was linked from Geocities. You can see the filename by right-clicking it, and choosing "Properties".
