How To: Post images on the forums (Picture Tutorial)

FireFire Moderator
This tutorial will teach you how to embed images in the forums.

For image hosts, I suggest http://minus.com or http://imgur.com , the main difference being Minus doesn't compress large images (good for art), and supports file uploads, while imgur has no storage cap.

For this tutorial we will use imgur, as it's the simplest.

Step 1

Visit http://imgur.com , drag your image from windows onto the page, or click the computer button and select your image file:

Step 2

Start uploading your image, it will upload and take you to it's page when it is done:

Step 3

Copy the image's direct link like so:

Step 4

In a post on the forums (new thread or thread reply) click the "Insert Image" icon:


image

Step 5

In the textbox, paste your direct image link:

END

That's it, you're done!
