Default Posting Pictures.

I have numerous pictures I would like to share with you all. How would I go about posting them directly into a topic?

Upload em into photobucket.com (it's a free service), and then use the [img] tags to post them here. It's fairly simple...if you have probs, hit me with a PM.

p.s. be advised Photobucket is NOT secure!! couple years back, a couple (ironically) SEALS got into trouble by posting pics there that should not have made it into "public" if you know what I mean....

Ping's suggestion would definitely work. There is also an "album" feature in your User CP to upload images direct to your forum profile.

As for attaching images direct to the topic itself, there should be an "Attach Files" subsection under "Additional Options" when you go to post or reply to a thread. I haven't tweaked these settings, so maybe the default size and dimension restrictions are too severe for using this feature? Please let me know, thanks!

You need to set your account to private, and that doesn't happen. Trust me I have had to do that.

you can also set yourself up your own geocities.yahoo.com account and upload your stuff there and just hyperlink it.
