How do you post pictures?

“Ok I have a picture in my thebackpacker album and I can't figure out how to post it. Help
I tried highlighting the link and clicking the Img button.”

“you have to click the img button twice and add a / right before the second img and then copy the link between the tags

img link /img (without the brackets)”

“Thanks but Nope that didn't help!!”

“strange it worked for me. that without the brackets meant that i left them out in the post so that the forum software wouldnt convert them into html code. for posting images you have to leave them around the img and /img.”

“[img]http://www.thebackpacker.com/pictures/pic/o31pk.php/[img]”

“That is what I get?”

“look at source and you can see what I did”

“Ok what am I doing wrong?”

“Yeah if I knew how to look at the source I could probably do this.”

“[img]/[img] what do you have to convert your photo to to post it?”

“the /has to be inside the brackets right before the img not in front of the brackets”

“Getting closer?

[img]http//www.thebackpacker.com/pictures/pic/o31pk.php[/img]”

“thanks slacker for showing me that you can do it!”

“i think a : between http and // might help”

“http://www.thebackpacker.com/pictures/users/lthiker/op79e1ax/o31pk.jpg

instead of yoururl too”

“Lt, you need to copy the url of the image, not the web page it is on. Right click on the image and select properties. Then copy and paste the url address.”

HOLY C#$P!!! Thanks...

“[url]http://www.thebackpacker.com/pictures/users/lthiker/op79e1ax/o31pk.jpg[url]”

“go to the picture you want to imbed in the thread.

right click on the picture.

it will bring up a box.

at the bottom of the box, click properties.

that will bring up another box.

highlight the url next to address [url] (likely will end with .jpg) this is the img source.

copy and paste into your post.

then highlight the link when it's on your post and click img up above.

it should look something like this..


[img] http://blablablabla.jpg [/img]. w/o the the spaces.
