When you reply to the post, on the bottom left is in blue writing "additional options", click on that and where is says "attach:" go to "browse" then find your pic and click on it. Just make sure image size is below 256Kb in size....

how do i email them

[HELLFIRE!]

how do i email them

 

If you wish to email an image to someone simply compose your message in Microsoft outlook and then hit the attachment button. Navigate to the image you wish to send and select it. The image will now be attached to the bottom of your email as a clickable icon.

 

If you wish to post an image on the forum there are various ways and means. Zedman240 has already mentioned the "Additional Options" method but this has the drawback of restricting your file size to less than 256kb.

 

Another option is to load your image to an image hosting web site such as Photobucket (it's free and they don't hassle you with spam). Copy the URL for the image and Paste it into post reply field. From here you can do one of two  things depending on your needs. Option 1, display image (consider bandwidth/size/content of image). To display the image directly on the forum highlight the URL that you have pasted into your Post Reply Field and click on the "Insert Image" button which is just above the emoticons. Hit post and your done. Option 2, display a link. To display a link to your picture highlight the URL that you have copy/pasted into the Post Reply Field and then click the "Insert Hyperlink" button which is next to the insert image button. Post your reply and your post will appear with your message and a link that people can click on to see your image.

 

Furthermore you can use the gallery feature that is hosted by this forum and either direct people to your gallery or cut and paste the URL from the gallery into the post Reply field and follow either option 1 or 2 as discussed in the previous paragraph.

 

I hope this helps.

We really need to write a post about this.

 

From a webmaster perspective there are several reasons why images are a pain.

 

1.) Resizing / recompressing images on the fly requires server memory on a shared hosting plan this is limited.

2.) Storage space on server. While we currently have "some" space as we grow we will continue to need more space. More space = more monies .

3.) If you don't recompress / resize - people will attach 5 mb bmp files that could be compressed (without noticable quality loss) to about 50kb JPEG's.

 

Will see what I can do about writing a tutorial.
