TUTORIAL: Uploading images for display on the forums

[XLR8 V8]

Due to the repetitive question of "How do I post pics/images/photos?", here's a little tutorial on how to do it (using Photobucket)

NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE A POST COUNT OF 20 OR MORE TO POST PICS ON THE FORUMS - READ THE FAQ (http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/faq.php) FOR MORE INFO ON POST COUNTS

1. Go to www.photobucket.com. Either create a new account or log onto your existing one

2. Once you are logged in, you'll be presented with the image upload broswer

3. Once you've selected your images, you can label them with a description prior to uploading

4. Once your image is uploaded, you'll be presented with a preview screen offering you posting codes for different mediums. We're only interested in the code for forum use. Click on it once to copy it to your clipboard

5. Now, go back to the forums and into the post/thread where you want to display your photo, and paste the link.

Now just click the submit thread/post button at the bottom and your image should be displayed .... done and done
