How to Add Images to Your Post - admin - 03-31-2017 Two Ways to Post an Image   1.  Attach the image directly to a post, like an attachment to email.  Each image attached to a post will be displayed as a thumbnail either at the bottom of the post, or if you wish, in-line with the text in the body of the post. Logged in members can click the thumbnail to view the image full size.  Each attached image is limited to 250 KB file size.   2.  Link to an image stored on another computer such as Photobucket, Flickr or your own host.  Images linked to in this manner will be displayed full size where the link to the image is placed in the text of the post.    Attaching Images to a Post   At the bottom of the post editor in the Attachments section, click the browse button.  Locate the image you wish to attach and double it click to select that image: The image file name that you have selected will be displayed.  To complete the attachment and upload the image to the forum, press the Add Attachment button: The image is now attached to the post and the file name will be displayed in the attached images list.  A thumbnail of attached images will be displayed at the bottom of the post: To display the thumbnail of the image in-line with the text in the body of the post instead of at the bottom of the post, first attach the image.  Then position the cursor in the post where you wish the thumbnail to be displayed and press the Insert Into Post button: A place holder for the thumbnail will be displayed in the text of your post in this format:   [attachment=xx]   Press the Preview Post button to see how the actual post will appear. Linking to an Image on a Host Computer   Linking to an image on another (host) computer is the only way to display full size images in your post.  To link to an image, press the Insert an Image button at the top of the editor and enter the URL to the image.    If the image is too large to fit nicely in the post, you may also enter a width and/or height for the image.  Defining only width or height will proportionally scale the image to that width or height and maintain proper aspect ratio.   Limit image dimensions to a maximum of 640x400 or smaller.  Even a 640x400 image a big image in a post, so you may wish to consider something smaller.   If the image is too large, click the displayed image to select it, delete the image, insert it again and specify a smaller image size.
