Inserting pictures

[Gogie]

OK guys, I need some help. Many of you insert some cool pictures in your posts. I'd like to be able to do the same. How do I do it?

Gogie, you'll see two rows of feature buttons when you're typing out a post. The second line, fourth button in, is the one you're looking for.

Here is the code that will appear once you press the button [ img] [/img] (less the space you see between the [ and img. It is the only way I can get it to stay on the board without it disappearing)

If you're using MS Explorer, then open up a second browser and go to Google. Google whatever it is you're looking for and select "images" atop the browser. You probably already know this but when you're in the images page you can't mistake it.

Once you click on an image you'll notice that the page divides itself into two frames with a smaller version of the image in the top frame. Once you click on that smaller image, it will usually show that image by itself.

Once you have that either cut and paste or copy the URL into the [ img] [/img] code. That should work. If it doesn't go into your "modify" mode and veryify that you don't have any extra spaces or characters.

Anyway, that's the way I do it with Explorer Gogie. If you're using Firefox it's much easier as you don't have to go into Google unless you have to. You still have to open a second browser but you'll be able to right-click on the photo you want on a specific page and select, "View Photo" or something like that. That feature isolates the photo you want by removing all the script. You then either cut and paste, or copy the URL into the [ img] [/img] code the same way you would with MS Explorer.

Didn't mean to A-B-C it there buds. But I didn't know any other way of doing it. Good luck.

Cheers.
