How to put pictures?????

Kind of a stupid question but how do you put a picture on a thread without making it a link, or something that you have to click on? Thanks.

As long as the image you want to display fits the following restrictions...

bmp 97.7 KB
gif 97.7 KB
jpeg 244.1 KB
jpg 244.1 KB
pdf 390.6 KB
txt 170.9 KB

...then you can click the "Attachments" button (

) and upload the image.

In order to display a high res photo, you need to store the photo off site (i.e., www.photobucket.com) and then link to them in your post using the "Insert Image" (

) button. To use this button you just need to...

Open the photo website and navigate to the image you would like to display in your post
Right-click the desired image and select "Copy image location"
While posting to TFL, click the button
Select or delete the entire text-box content (usually http://)
Right click in the text box
Select "Paste" from the menu
Click "OK".

Hope this helps.
