Canadian Hog Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 I know this might make me sound stupid or something, but I'm not that good with computers and was wondering how some of you guys have pictures underneath your posts? I have a cool picture that I wanted to use in my posts, but don't have the slightest clue how to get it on there. Can somebody be kind enough to provide me with some help ? Any directions would be much appreciated. Thanks :stupid: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCS:BraveCaringSoul Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 OK here's a tutorial for ya. 1. Put your cursor on the picture you like 2. right click 3. a dialog box should appear 3. Click on properties 4. highlight (click and drag) the address or URL. It usually begins with http and ends with jpeg or gif. For example the URL for the pic in Skeletors sig file above is... http://pic4.picturetrail.com/VOL47/1188873/2250334/35770425.jpg You need to highlight the entire url. 5. Copy the url (ctrl c) ************************************************** IMPORTANT:In the example below I will use the < and > symbols for illustrative purposes. Please replace them with brackets [ ]when you actually add your images. **************************************************** 6. Paste the url (ctrl v) between the ubb tags as shown in step seven below. 7. type in the left bracket [ then type img followed by the right bracket ]. Paste (ctrl v) your picture's url then type in the left bracket [ followed by the back slash / followed by img and the right bracket ]. When you're finished it should look like this: <img>paste the url you copied in step 5 here</img> remember to replace... < with [ and > with ] ...in the above. 8. enjoy.

MidPennSkin Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Canadian Hog, click on the FAQ on the arrow at the top of the page. Then click on "Are there any special codes/tags I can use to format my posts and messages?" You will find a lot of helpful hints for formatting messages, particularly the click here link.

PCS Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 CH, if that sig pic is what you've been trying to get to show up, then I'm buying Om 3 and to hell with the game. And you a couple as well. Just because. Luca, that's my kind of pop quiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luca Brasi Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Thank you Gentlemen. I originally didn't want the pic that large, but after seeing it, I don't think I'll change a thing. (Not that I could if I wanted to anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
