How to Post Images in the Forum

There are three main ways to post images on the forum. The one you choose depends on where the image is stored.

1. You can upload an image from your computer. At the end of a forum thread, you will find a "Reply to this Topic" box. Click inside the box to start a new reply.

Simply drag and drop your image into the box to upload it, or you can click on “choose files” to find it on your computer.

Your image will show in the Uploaded Images box. Place your curser where you want your image to be placed in the text box, then click on the + to insert the image into your post.

When your post is finished, click on the yellow "Submit Reply" button and you are finished!

2. You can post an image from the Design Shop or another website, like Flickr or Photobucket using the URL information. Click on “Insert other media” and choose “Insert image from URL.” Paste the image link into the box that pops up, and then click on the yellow “Insert into post” button.

You will need to use the Image Link provided by the site. You can also right click on the image to copy its Image Location (Firefox) or Image Address (Chrome). For Explorer, right click on the image, choose “Properties” and copy the Address (URL).

3. You can post an image from the Gallery, the Design Shop or another site using copy and paste! Right click on the image you would like to share in your post. Choose "Copy Image" from the menu.

Return to your post and paste the image into your post. Any image and text you copied will show in your post.
