How do I post pictures?

Here's a step-by-step guide for inserting a picture that is on your computer or smart phone:

First, you need to be in the full editor/ preview window. If you are in the "Quick Reply" editor window, click the "full editor & preview" button:

Next, to upload a picture to the forum, click on the "Attachments" tab under the text window:

Image


Now we can click the "add files" button:

Image


This opens up a navigation window - this is the version you see on a Windows PC. First click on the file you want to upload. I've clicked on a nice picture of coloured wheels. How sweet ;) Next, click "Open":

Image


The selected file then uploads - there is a green status bar that shows progress of the file upload - both under the "Status" column, and under the "Attachments" tab:
Image


Once the file has uploaded, the "Place inline" button appears. Click on this to insert the image into your text:

Image


The image code is inserted into your post.

Image


You can click "Preview" to see how it will look on the forum:
Image


If you're happy, then click "Submit". :)

You can upload multiple images at a time, and you can insert "file comments" - which will appear as a subtitle under the image or file you have uploaded to the forum.

Hope this helps! :)
