Ok, this is going to cover the fine art of posting a picture.
First off, you have to hot link the image, so if you have a photo on your computer you wanna share, you have to download it to some place like the PixPlace, or Photobucket.com.
Once you get the photo downloaded their, check to see that the size is good. Why? We have to keep the photo's no larger than 400 x400 pixels, so the forum doesnt get all screwy. To check for size in photobucket, right click on the image and select "properties", and see if the image is smaller than 400px by 400px. If it is, good. But if it is larger, this is what you do:
Click on th button right above the image that says "edit". Now what you get is a couple of different options that you can edit, but were only concerned about size, so go to the second selection that says "resize". Now if the image is close to 400 x 400, only select 75% of original, if its more than twice the size select 50% of original, and if its a monster, select 25% of original (but, after every time you resize you have to go back and check the size). Now once you've selected the resize, click the button that says resize. Go back and check the size. When its under 400 x 400, your ready to post your image.
Now under neath the image, you'll see 3 line items. The first one is "Url", the second is "Tag", and the 3rd is "Img". Now, "Img" is the only one we care about here: Click on the link, right click, select copy. Paste that into your posthttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/PraiseCaster/P1030680.jpg
And there you have it!
