You can add pictures or graphics to your posts by using the "Insert Image" button.
In order to insert an image you must first have it stored in an image hosting site. A good one to use is Imgr. If you do not already have an account with them use the link in the last sentence (in green) or go to imgr.com and sign up. It is free and you can store all the photos you need safely there.
After you sign in or sign up, click the blue "Upload Images" button. Once you have your image on Imgur, click the rectangular box on the right titled "Direct Link (email & IM)" unless you are saving for a Signature, then copy the "BB" code.
Once you click on that box the line of text will turn green. Right click on it with your mouse and select "Copy". You can also use a keyboard shortcut of " CTRL-C ". That will do the same thing. Come back to your post and if you have not already, click the "Insert Image" button. You will get a pop up window.
The http:// in the top box will be highlighted blue. As long as you do not click anywhere in that box you can ignore that.
Now, right click your mouse button and select "Paste" (or use the keyboard shortcut of " CTRL-V " and the information from Imgur will now be in the "Image URL:" box.
Now click "Insert Image" and your image will now be in your post.
Depending on what kind of post you are doing, all you have to do now is finish any writing you have to do and either add more pictures or if you are done, click either "Create Thread, Save Changes or Create Post" and there ya go.
**Note: You cannot re-size an image within the post. If you want to re-size, you must do it on your computer through a photo editing software and re-upload it and link it to your post.
