You don't. You have to put them on your own site and link to them.

i copy/pasted this from page 16 it think: Here's what donwrob wrote on how to post pic's. I hope it's ok don. "Now, for posting pics on this forum. It seems complicated, but it is not that bad mudd. The thing is, you need to have a web site or dedicated web space for your pic to reside. When you post a pic here it is only a link to where the pic is on the internet. I use a pay service called ImageEvent. I upload the pic from my computer to an album at my home on that site. Once there I can copy the address (URL) of any given picture I've uploaded. Then the easy part, if you notice while posting on here, there are 2 rows of icons that say 'Add Tags:' to the left. On the bottom row, 4th from the left is a picture icon. When you click on it you get something like this: URL in your message. You simply wipe out the letters URL and paste the actual URL for the picture you want to show. It will look something like this: "http: //photos.imageevent.com /muddspics /favoritetumblepics //polishedrock.JPG" and be between the 2 bracketed s. It is that simple, when you post the message, the pic will show up in place of all that jazz." and it's described again on page 5 under the unakite post. i hope this helps. it's really not hard once you figure it out. kim

hello when you are looking at your picture right click it and click on copy picture location "on yahoo". then go to this board and delete the letters url after that right click one time right between img where url was but this time hit paste. i use netscape 7.1 if you use something else your wording might be a little different . hope this helps.

Here is what you should see: [/img][/quote] this is what appears when you click on the picture icon above. I reversed the first bracket so that the code would show up. this is what you should see when you add the location of where you placed your image (without the quote marks). My webspace is "http://iavbbs.com/nichols/" and the name of the image file is "tiger eye.jpg" Your image does not have to be displayed on a web page, it just has to be stored on a server somewhere that can be linked to. Some servers do not allow hot linking, so if you still do not get your picture to show here, contact your server and see if they will allow you to link. It's all about bandwidth. Hot linking uses bandwidth from your server to benefit another (the board server), and some will object to this.
