Can someone sticky this please, and move it to the correct forum if this one isn't right.

Ok, a few people have asked, so here is a definitive way of posting pictures on the forum.

Step 1.
Go to a website such as Photobucket (you will need to register an account), Imageshack (no account needed), Flickr (you need to register) or Tinypic (no account needed).

Step 2.
Upload your photo.

Step 3.
Copy the direct link to the image, not the "HTML code", "Widget code" or anything else.
You can use the "IMG code" like you get on TinyPic.
Update: On Imageshack the "forum code" works.

With photobucket, you can choose a "clickable thumbnail" link if you click on Share then Get Link Code. Which produces something like this

On Flickr, you need to click on the image, then click View All Sizes then you can right click on the image and choose "Copy Image URL". If this doesn't work, it is because the uploader has chosen not to let people share it.

Step 4.
Put that image URL into IMG tags. To do this you can either click the little picture at the top of the Message box after clicking "Go Advanced" to reply to a thread. It looks like this then enter the image URL into the little pop up. Once you click OK, the image url will be automatically put in IMG tags and put in your reply.
You can also enter the tags yourself, simply put [ img ] ImageUrl [ /img ] except without the spaces.

Things to be careful of.
If you put too may pictures in a thread, I think it's over about 15, then it will get flagged as spam and you will have to wait for an admin to approve the post.
If the pictures are too large then they automatically get turned into a link, even with the IMG tags.

Good move Sumo.

It belongs here; http://www.lfgss.com/thread17.html , but utfs makes the thread hard (ish) to find.

By that I mean 'photo' doesn't find it, but 'photos' does. Likewise 'how to' fails, 'HowTo' works.

Brilliant. Thanks sumo.

I've never seen that thread in my life.
If this one stays separate hopefully people won't have an excuse for not knowing how to do it.

Ha, Henry you noob

Can we sticky this to the top of the forum help section?

Just leaving it here... if anyone gets lost point them this way. The help forum is so quiet (so few threads) that a sticky doesn't really help if people aren't looking in the first place.
