This is how you add a picture to a forum post.

Two ways to do this:


1.Click on the attachments option ( underneath Save Draft, Preview, and Submit) options:
Click the Add Files button.



Select one or more images (you want to add to a message). Hold down the shift key(to select more than one image).

Click the Open button.

The images will be uploaded.

Once uploaded, (you will see them), position (your cursor) where you want to add the images, and click the Place inline button.

You will see an "" appears in your forum post (message).
Click the Submit button, to (finish) your forum post, or Previewto see what it will look like.




2. If you are using a third-party image hosting service like flikr,

You need to link your image (in flikr) to your Post.

Click the Insert Imagebutton, OR just copy these tags into your message:

"[img].....[/img]"

Put the website address of your image in between the tags.

For example http://chocksaway.com/blog/wp-content/u ... hield1.png would go in between the [img].....[/img]

Click the Submit or Previewbutton.

Hi Miles
Can you do one of these showing how to put up your own avatar, plus resizing photos to use as an avatar because this can be a nightmare to do!
Cheers John.

Hi Miles, would you have any idea why i get the is message when I try to load any images?

ERROR
Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached

I get a small yellow warning symbol by the download and when I click on it I get the message above, Ive reduced the image sizes incase that was the problem. Cheers Kevin

Not sure. I will check later, currently in the middle of London.........

Should be OK now, I have increased the quota

Thank you

Hi Miles

I get the same message about exceeding the quota, I cannot get the images any smaller! Thanks.

Can you try again please. I've just uploaded a 3.1 meg image Ok.

Thanks

Miles.

The site had gone over it's limit again, Paul extended it again last night, so should be okay for a while now.

But what is the maximum size of image it can process

These will be specified within PHPBB (the forum itself).

cant seem to get my pictures to load - keeps saying they are too large when checked they are way inside the size and pixel count any ideas?

roadster1 you have a private message.

I started adding my photos directly because of the Photobucket issues, but for some reason they are duplicating and the attachments are also showing. Look t the last post on my thread to see what I mean....

Any idea why this is?
