How to insert image into posting?
Jun 24^th, 2012, 10:20pm

I have had several attempts at inserting images into my postings - with complete lack of success.

I think I have followed all the instructions , such as:-

1. Click on 'Insert Image' icon, which produces insertion point between 'img' and '/img'.
2. Upload image to ImageShack.
3. Copy image's ImageShack URL to clipboard.
4. Paste image URL to indicated point between 'img' and '/img'.
5. Send posting.

But it has never worked for me. All I get is a large space in the posting.

Can anybody help? I've tried the YaBB Help Center but that hasn't 'helped'!

Hi Mark.

When I select an image from ImageShack, I select the Forum Code option, which looks like this:
Code:

[URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/822/20125295857198.jpg/] [img]http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/7763/20125295857198.jpg[/img][/URL]

Uploaded with [URL=http://imageshack.us]ImageShack.us[/URL]

Then I change it so that I only have the location of the file, between the 'IMG" and "/IMG' by removing everything else except this:
Code:

 [img]http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/7763/20125295857198.jpg[/img]

This is what you will see after doing that:

Hey can someone help me with an avatar?

Usually you upload the picture directly to the site but here seems to want a url.
So I uploaded my resized avatar to imageshack and that didn't seem to work so then tried uploading to the Nikon site that I have an account with and that wouldn't work either.

Help...!

EDIT: This is what I'm trying to install.
Now I can't seem to post "normal" pictures. Shocked

Something has gone wonky...

OK I can get it up here but not into my avatar.
EDIT:EDIT Now I can see it but it's soo bloody small!
