There have been a few members having trouble putting pictures on the forum recently so I thought I would put a pictorial tutorial of how to do it.
The first and golden rule is:
You must have your chosen picture stored on the web somewhere!
It can be on a blog, your own website, or something like Photobucket. This forum has no direct upload facillity and storage for pictures.
Right, here we go.
Firstly create a new thread. you all know how to do this.
Next open a new tab in your browser and find the picture you want to insert into a post, (I will be using an example from my blog for demonstration purposes).
The next thing is to copy the image location of where you have it stored. The easiest way to do this is by right clicking on it and select 'copy Image Location'.
Please ignore the 'copy Link location' that is highlighted in the picture...the bloody mouse moved! (although in theory it should work the same).
Like so:
This will put the image location on your clipboard.
Next go back to tab with the thread you just created on the forum and hit the insert image button.
When you click this button you will get this dialogue box:
Just paste (CTL V on a PC) the picture location that you copied earlier into the box and it should look summat like this:
When you click the 'insert image' button the picture should by some miracle appear in your post.
Hit enter to move the cursor below the picture and put in whatever text you like or another picture using the same method all over again.
You have to follow this method to put in every individual picture in your post as far as I know.
I hope this helps a bit.

PS apologies to any Apple Mac users, I have no idea if the copy and paste function works the same as Windows.
