apache,

You just put IMG tags around the link to whatever pic you want to show. For example, here's your signature pic:



That picture is located on this site at this exact location: http://www.fspassengers.com/images/banner/sig/sdc20.jpg

All you do is select that text (from the start of the http:// to the end of the .jpg) and then click the picture button below. That will put image
tags around that text, indicating it's a picture to display. The trick is to get the location of your pic correct. If it was a pic on PhotoBucket for
example, the link might be this: http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n37/CodeLyokoFreak1/7dcda2aa.gif

Select that, click the image button below, and you get this:



Understand? And no, that's not my cat...mine doesn't dance that well.

No, you can't do it from your computer. The pictures have to be online somewhere and accessible using some path similar to what I said in the
above examples. You should check with your ISP...many of them give some free web space with their accounts. If you have that, just download yourself
a good
FTP program (I recommend FileZilla) and then you can upload your pictures to your web space and then you'll have a valid path that you can use here in
the thread.

If you don't have web space with your service provider, then open a free account with someone, like PhotoBucket or Picasa Web Albums is also a good
one that I've used in the past. The same principals apply and with them, you don't really even need the FTP software as they have their own built-in
ways to upload your photos.

Cheers! :beer:

Or try Photobucket....

Get to http://www.photobucket.com/, register, then login and upload pics. Photobucket lets you get pictures from your PC to the Internet.

Then you just copy the URL (the "path" of the image) and, wherever in your post that you want it write [ img], then paste the path to the image (URL)
, then put [ /img]

For example:

I have a picture of my dad from when he flew (in the 70's)

To post it here, i first login to my Photobucket account with my e-mail and password

Then, i click in the big green button "^Upload Now"[
Then, click on Select Photos and videos
And there appears a "Cuadro de diálogo" (¿dialog box?) from wich you pick the selected picture (Browse like in My PC)
When it's done uploading, you just click "Save and continue to my album" or "Upload more photos".

Then you just pass the mouse over the photo, and there will appear several links (Copy photo URL), (Copy IMG code), etc, you just click on Copy IMG
Code, and it gets copied to the clipboard.

You will have a path like this: http://i1046.photobucket.com/albums/b467/Marianoberna/Dtalpalotalastilla.jpg

Then you just paste it wherever in your post that you would like the image.

Tadá!!!



PS: Sorry 'bout my english, but anyways

I think the instructions for Apache may be information overload...especially if he's been sucking on the beer bottle :lol:

I give up! Upload them to Megaupload or Rapidshare, or MediaFire and give us a link to the RAR
