I never cared for the big photo sites such as photobucket so I've used over the years image hosts such as tinypic, imageshack etc. Tinypic.com is my favorite at this time.

The main thing is to get your picture online somewhere and then link it to a forum with image tags. The standard image tag format is:



Pay attention the the opening and closing brackets [ and ] as well as IMG and /IMG. The [ and ] tell there is a tag the IMG tells it's a start of an image and the /IMG tells the ending of the image.

Test it yourself with this forums logo: http://www.canreef.com/images/logo_small.gif

...add the brackets [ and ] as the above example...add the tag IMG also don't forget to close the tag with /. Then you get this:

Click upload tab in photo bucket.
Drag pics from pc to the pot bucket area
Then find pic in photo bucket library. Click on the little
Gear symbol.

This auto copy to the clipboard. Then past that into your post on canreef

On the photo host site you use there will be a series of web addresses copy the one titled direct link. Then in the post page one of the icons is insert image it will open a pop up looking for the HTML of your image paste the direct link there hit ok hit preview post to make sure it worked if your satisfied with your post hit submit post and your done
