There are two ways to post a picture. I will try to be as detailed as possible, but if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!

The first way, using the Insert Picture button. This method will only work if you are using the Enhanced Interface text box. For instructions on how to activate that, please see the User CP tutorial in this section.

First, you need to start a new thread:

Second, you need to click on the Insert Picture Icon, shown below:

If you get the following warning, please click on it and select Temporarily Allow Scripted Windows. If you are not comfortable doing this, please use the second way of posting pictures.

You will need to click on the Insert Picture button again, and a window will pop up with a text box. You will need to put the LINK to your picture here.

After you put your link in the text box, click ok, and the image will be loaded into your post. You will be able to resize it, and move it within the text box.

The second way, BBCode.

Start a new thread:

Input the IMG code for your picture, like the following:

Using this method, you are unable to resize your pictures within the text box. However, you do not have to allow the scripted windows.

When you are finished posting, click Submit New Thread at the bottom.

I *think* I have this figured out.

If the picture is uploaded to the forum's server, you will get the red x. However, if you link to an offsite photo(like Photobucket for your signature) it should show up, if you have that option enabled. For instructions on how to enable it, please see the User CP tutorial in this section.

That's what I'm noticing as I browse the forum. Any avatars, banners, or pictures that I see, are linked from another source. Anything that is a red x, has been uploaded to BDB.

Hi. I am not very good with computers and have a bit of trouble understanding. All my photos are in a folder in my computer but when I click on any of them I cant seem to find an IMG code or a LINK. Where do I find these? Do my photos have to be somewhere "special" to get either of these? (IMG/link)? I can put photos in the photo album here but cant work out how to add them to threads or in the photo thread as I dont have/know where to find the codes for them. Thanks.

You need to upload them to a photo hosting site, such as Photobucket(it's free to sign up.)

There is a limit to the photo albums, but there is no limit in posts, unless you reach the maximum post character limit(I believe it's 30000 characters)
