by There are a few different ways that you can post images up on the forum.
If you click into the FAQ button at top of the board (the one that looks like this [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.])
one of the questions listed under 'Formatting and Topic types' is 'Can I post images?'
Click into the question and the answer it gives you is:
You can easily insert images inside your topics and posts. To do this, you have two options in the editor: the first is a button to host an image from your device (computer or smartphone). The second is a button to insert an image by entering its web address (URL). You can also use the BBCode tag [IMG] or the appropriate HTML tags (if you are allowed to do so).
The ability to host images is offered natively and for free on all Forumotion forums via our image host partner Servimg. To use this service, all you have to do is click on the "Host an image" button in the editor.
The 'editor' they are talking about is the box you are in when you are composing your post. I'm in it now as I type this. The icons are in the toolbox above this box. (You only see this toolbox when you are composing your post. Once you press 'send' it prints what you have posted - and the toolbox above disappears from view.
Jimmy sent me this pic on WhatsApp. I use WA Web, so I just right-clicked on the photo there and chose the option 'save this image'. It went directly into my computer - into Downloads.
So while I was posting this, I used the 'Host an image' icon, pressed ' Select files ', where it took me to my computer files. Found the image in Downloads and clicked on it. Then copied the top URL from the 3 that came up beside the thumbprint of the photo (forget about the other 2 - only the top one you're interested in). Copied that top URL - and inserted it into the 'Insert an Image' icon box where it says URL, and pressed 'Insert' at the bottom.
Sounds complicated but it's not. You just need to experiment with it and find out for yourself.
