Picture posting

Working off an IPad now....not sure if that matters. How are we posting pictures on the forum. Seems I can't get it done.
Thanks

The easiest (and most courteous) way is to use a photo hosting site like Photobucket. Photobucket specifically is free and easy to use. Once you have uploaded the photos there, select the one you want, and click the little gear symbol in the upper right hand corner. It will give you different options for the photo; select the one for sharing, and it will offer you four URLs. Select the one that ends in JPG or JPEG inside brackets like these: [IMG] and [/IMG], and copy it to your clipboard (or Mac's soulless equivalent .) Paste it into your post, and you are good to go.

If you need to post a photo from Google or something, get the photo URL (as long as it ends in JPG or JPEG). On windows, we can do this by right clicking. I am not sure how to do it in Mac. Go into your post here, and look above your text box at all the little icons. Click the one that looks like a little stamp with a mountain and a sun on it, and paste the picture's URL into the box that comes up, and voila!

ETA: I thinkt that there may even be a Photobucket App available through the App Store that would make this even easier. You should look into that. Good luck.
