Recommended Posts

Im looking for step by step directions on how to post pics in a thread. Thanks

Click on this insertimage.gif button.

A window will pop up asking you to paste the URL of the pic you want to post.

Click OK, and your pic will magically appear in your post. Remember, it will have to be a pic that is online, you won't be able to post one from your hard drive.

Tons of places let you upload your own pics but imageshack doesn't require registration so people tend to prefer it.

Once you upload a pic to imageshack there will be several URL choices, pick the one called Direct Link or something like that.

You can also Hot Link pics from other sites without their permission. Some sites hate that and have things set up so hot linking won't work but most don't care.

Back in the 90s when bandwidth was so expensive they use to punish hot linkers by replacing hot linked photos with pics of a sign saying "I'm Gay" or with pics of disturbing sex scenes and stuff. It was funny.

Find a pic on the web (I use Google Images)

Open the pic up

Right click on the pic, a box will appear and scroll down to "Properties"

Left click on properties and you will see the pic URL - http://www ------------JPG

Try to find pics with JPG at the end.

Copy this address using your mouse.

Go back to JN reply to thread

Let your cursor hover over the tools above the mesage box and one will say "Insert Image"

Left click will open

A box will appear with a http:// prefix already there

I delete this prefix

Paste your new pic URL in this box.

Click "Preview Post" to see your pic before posting.

Why? You can post .gifs, bitmapped images whatever that filename is, .jpeg, etc. using the [*img] [*/img] tags.

And to the OP, if you are having trouble finding the http://jetnation.com/forums/images/editor/insertimage.gif, follow the imageshack instructions and then do the following: copy the direct link to the picture, write [*img]PASTE THAT IMAGESHACK LINK HERE[*/img]. Don't copy the asterisks though.
