Posting pictures w/pictures (:
This post is for those of you who can't figure out how to post pictures.
I have made it as simple as possible with pictures of what to look for, for the visible learners in the crowd.
Photobucket accounts are free, so there will be no excuse for not providing those all important pictures, especially if you are trying to sell an item in the marketplace. Many of us skip adds with no picture. Personally, if you can't be bothered to post a picture, I can't be bothered to ask for one.
and with that out of the way...we begin
Posting pictures is easy once you figure it out.
If you use Photobucket for instance, (Photobucket.com)
you click the upload button

choose your photo (if you don't have your browser full page you can even drag it over from your desktop)

If you click the blue button a box will appear to choose your picture. You have to know where it is so having it on your desktop makes it easy.

once it's loaded you click your photo that appears bottom left of your screen and it takes you to the links to the photo(right hand side)

click on the link that says direct, it will turn yellow and say copied
in your post box here, click on the little picture frame up top (4th from the left in the picture)
http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps7vaqaayf.jpg
copy (ctrl+v) the link into the box that appears(you may have to wait a few seconds for the box to appear)

click ok
your picture will then become part of your post. Note the [img] wraps around the link.
it's really pretty simple once you have done it the first time.
here's an example, I've left the / out of the last [/img]

I hope everyone that doesn't know how to post pictures will take the time to learn. If you have questions or don't quite understand something, please ask. There are many knowledgeable folks here that are more than happy to help out. Have fun!!!
