There seems to be more than one person who battles with this.

Before u can load a pic u need to firstly make ur image smaller..

there are many programs to use but as paint is on everyones pc i will explain via that.

1. open pic in paint.

2. select image, then stretch/skew



3. in the box select either 50 x 50 or what ever would be required depending on the size of image. play around with this till u get the hang of it. try keep the image about 200kb. large enough



4. also remember to cut the unnecessary stuff off the pic

5.save image as a jpeg

then to upload via the site

1. select reply on the thread



2. then browse on image file to attach.



3. select image and its done!

hope this helps!

if anyone has anything else to add pls do

Another way to load a pic if you have an account with an image hosting site(photobucket, imagehosting, imageshack etc), is to insert an image link from the site. I use photobucket. Creating an account is as easy as creating one here.

After following Gemini's steps below to re-size and crop etc, create an album in your chosen host site (be sure to organise the albums before hand, if you move or re-name it the link will be lost in your post)

Once your pics are uploaded, you can selct the image and look for the share option or image code- IMG (see last box in pic below)


copy the IMG code text which includes the "[IMG] and [/img] and insert it into you post where you want the image.

The link hs now been created to the image and will be shown in your post. Selecting preview post before posting is a good way to check that it loads correctly.

another way of loading multiple pics is after u have added one pic and submit it, u can edit it and add a new pic to it while it keeps the link of the previous loaded image. its either that way or doing it thru photo bucket as jones suggested and u can add a few images at once. if anyone else knows of a easier way or another way pls share
