I was wondering why some members have the ability to post images directly to the forum and others (like me) do not. Do I need special permission from the moderators to post? If so, how do I get it?

Well, we haven't had attachments for years (you would see a paperclip picture next to the topic title in each section if there was). What those members are doing is using Image Tags.

They look like this: [ IMG ] [ /IMG ] (get rid of the spaces though) There's also a nice little button on each post you make that looks like a mountain (with a yellow backround) that simply lets you put in a URL, and bang! you got a picture on your post.

Here's an example:

Thanks, MM,

I know that I can add a link to an image using the "mountain" icon. My question related to uploading images stored only on my computer. I'll try the image tags and see what happens, but I'm not clear from your post on whether they work for stuff that's stored on my computer.

Thanks again.

My mistake on not being specific, but it's only pictures from a URL, not your computer.

Hi TheMM,

I've had a problem with my post at this link:
http://www.musclegrowth.org/forum/sh...ad.php?t=10265

I used the image tags, and at first the images appeared, but now they're just links. The images are hosted at tinypic.

Clearly, I'm doing something wrong... but what?

Cheers,
divis24

Hi Musqlure...

You can visit a site such as http://www.imageshack.us/ which will allow you to load images from your computer using your web browser. Once you upload your file, the ImageShack website will present you with a web address of your uploaded image which you can copy and paste into the IMG tags in your posts on the forum.

Hey Divis... some forums are set to display IMG tags as hyperlinks whereas some are set to display them as inline images. Since your original post was in the "Story Ideas" forum it displays only as hyperlinks. I've moved your thread to the Morphs & Artwork forum, which allows the display of inline IMG tags.

Thanks, flexodus! I was looking for a way to do that, too; soon after I posted it I realized it would be better elsewhere.

Cheers,
