----- How to post pictures -----

Right this thread will show you how to post pictures of goods you're selling.
I'v seen a few posts that people say they don't know how to.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Right, you get your pic onto your computer whichever way you do it, scanner, usb, memory stick, etc.

Save it to a suitable folder and then go to this address.

http://imageshack.us/

Click on browse and navigate to your picture and double click.

The picture's file directory will now be showing in the box.

Click on host it and it will start to load a new page, don't worry if it takes longer than usual.
If the servers busy then it can take a few seconds.

When the new page loads scroll down to the bottem of the page.

This is the URL that is required.

When you make your post and want to insert the picture, go to the tool bar at the top of the create a message.

Click on this button.

A pop up will appear with a box that already has http:// in it, click within the box to highlight the http:// and then paste the URL that you got from the above process.

You image should now appear where your typing cursor was positioned.

----------------------------------------------------------------

It's a bit messy and there will most likely be a few spelling mistakes but this should give you the gist of it.
Hope this helps.

Sticky would be nice to keep it at the top.

i had the same problem when i first joined up.Took me a while but i found the easiest solution was to open a photobucket account. Upload my pics into that and then copy the link.paste it into the insert link above. Remove the wriiten http in the box and then just paste it..The only problem with this way is i have never managed to get 2 or more pics on the same page ..It will show one pic and the other two are just the link adresses.But it does work.Hope this helps...
