HOW TO POST IMAGES

For new recruits who aren't familiar with the whole 'pic posting' thing, here are some basic step by step instructions that you can follow.

> To post a picture it needs to be hosted on a website somewhere, not just stored on your hardisk.

> Right-click on picture, select "Properties"

> Highlight the address, for example: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/agentgibbs/promo.jpg

> Copy the address - Hit "copy" or control-C

> Go back to your post and select the "Insert Image" button [image]

> Paste your picture address (control-V) in between the two sets of brackets. Be careful not to delete any of the brackets or the image won't appear.

> The code will look something like this:

Code:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/angelz/ncis/promo.jpg " alt="" />



> You can select the preview button to see if your handiwork was successful
