There are 2 kinds of picture one can post:

1) From a web link
2) From a saved file

Let's start...

1) From a web link

This is the simplest way, but has its drawbacks. You only need to post the IMAGE link, but then the image cannot be resized. Large images can be a nightmare for slow internet connections, or when viewed on a mobile device!

Simply locate the URL for the image, and paste - the forum will do the rest.



Lovely.


2) From a saved file

This is by far the best method to use, as it gives you the opportunity to edit the image size, add annotations, crop etc.

You will, however, need to have the image hosted first so the forum can locate it.

There are several image hosting services available online. I've listed some below, but there are likely many more out there with which you may be more comfortable for whatever reason. I use imgur, so I will use that in this example.

- postimage.org - http://postimage.org/
- imgur.com - http://imgur.com/
- tinypic.com - http://tinypic.com/
- imageshack.com - http://imageshack.com/

I will work through an example of a picture of one of the best moments of my childhood.The picture is cropped, sized, and ready to go.

Using imgur, click "Computer" on the right side of the screen.



Once you have located the file on your computer, click "Start Upload" in the popup box.



When that is completed, you will see the following screen:



You'll see several different kinds of links listed, but we want the BBCode one, circled in the image above.

Copy this link in to the forum page.

[IMG]http://i.imgur. com/yIlZ31y.jpg[/IMG]


At the beginning and end of the link, you'll see "[IMG]" and "[/IMG]". I added a space in the link so you could see how it should look. Remove the "[IMG]" and "[/IMG]" part, leaving just the link.



Perfect!

Now complete your post and press "SEND" as usual!


NB - SM guidelines must still be adhered to, so think about the contents and that this game should be inoffensive to all, so no UA PR tweet-style posts, even in this PL, or via PM.

Culled from Sicox's well of knowledge!

I'm sure the steps above will work...

Did you saw the one I sent at PM?

Try it, if that's what you meant.

are you kidding, the teenage girls world-over would have let out a synchronised crying wail during the episode where joffrey dies. As a result of which, All our ear drums would have burst and world would be a very terrible place to be in. Lets thank the casting gods for not making this mistake.
