Ofcourse a stupid question, but how can I get attach a photo to my post?

Looks like the post covering it previously has been archived!

This is the best way that I've found;

- First find a site to upload your picture e.g. http://www.tinypic.com
- Copy the IMG link that it gives you, into your post and voila! (cant remember whether you have to add the IMG code to the link though), play around with it in the practise section and you'll get the hang of it.

As GB said..Right click on your image, select properties, copy the IMG link, paste into your post. Now highlight pasted link and hit the IMG tab in the options above your post box. Select preview rather than send to see if it happened or not.

right click on the image


select the address (start top left of the address and move the cursor to the right and down because a part of the url can be hidden) right click, copy.


paste the address


select full address and click the Img button or use alt+p or manually enter tags


note the tags.

you can also combine tags so you can link to an address with images.

Thanks everyone, I succeeded.....

[quote user="ch" post="62512"]How do I make it smaller?[/quote]

by reducing the size of the image in terms of size prior to posting it. A simple package I think even the standard windows setup comes with an editing tool that will allow you to reduce the size of the image to one that's slightly easier on the eye.

What I'd like to know is how to post the images as a thumbnail for people to pick which ones to see full size.

[quote user="GBSahne" post="62518"]What I'd like to know is how to post the images as a thumbnail for people to pick which ones to see full size.[/quote]

by making the thumbnail url the source of your image and then create a hyperlink to the full-size image i.e. one needs to have two image resources (one for the thumnail and one for the full-size image).

Example: (hit the quote button to have a look at the [url="http://forum.expatinturkey.com/faq.php?mode=bbcode"]BBCode[/url])

[url="http://forum.expatinturkey.com/album_pic.php?pic_id=128"][/url]

alternatively you can upload your pictures in your [url="http://forum.expatinturkey.com/album_personal_index.php"]Personal Gallery[/url] and tell people about it in the '[url="http://forum.expatinturkey.com/viewforum.php?f=42"]Photo Album[/url]' forum. this has the advantage that thumbnails for your pictures will be created automatically, users can rate your pictures and add comments when they see fit.

further to my post above on thumbnails: one does not strictly need to have two image resources to post images as thumbnails. using the width and height attributes will achieve same.

Tag: img

Action: embeds an image in the post

Allowed Attributes:
- width=" pixels "
- height = " pixels "
- border = " pixels"
- style="color: red;"
- class="some class name"
- title = " title for image "
- alt = "text to describe image"

Usage: [ img width="125" height="24" style="background-color: black;" alt="Official EiT website logo"]http://forum.expatinturkey.com/templates/MorpheusX/images/sblue/logo.gif[/ img ]
