Pictures

[Hannibalbarca146]

Help anyone,how do I upload pictures onto the forum?

There's the Lead Adventure gallery itself, though as images take up space its advised not to use that. Instead use third party sites. Personally I throw my images up on the Dakka Dakka forum as I post there too, then link from there.

Strictly speaking, you don't. You need to host the pictures elsewhere (I use Photobucket but literally anywhere online is fine) and then insert a link to the hosted image. To insert a link, use the second button on the second row (the one with a picture of a picture on it), that will insert an [img] tag into your post. Then you put the url of your image in between the start and end tags.

If you want an example, click the Help link at the top of the forum and go to the page on Posting.

We have a guide on that:

Though the easiest way would be to attach pics to your post using Additional Options while posting here.

When Hannibalbarca146 posted his question, I thought, "Surely there must be a sticky about that, as it is the most asked question of all among newcomers," but I couldn't find it.  I would honestly never have thought of looking under the title "Using the Tag functions for post formatting (hyperlinks etc.)".  Perhaps it could be retitled to something friendlier, like "Posting pictures, inserting links and formatting"?
