Default A how to question

I am selling my daily driver so I wanted to know how to put pictures in the actual thread rather than posting links or attaching them. Can someone please help?

Host the pictures on a website
imageshack.us
photobucket
etc. Copy the direct link to picture after you host it. Then make your post and click the add image button at the top. Paste the location you copied from imageshack and click ok. That should be it.

How To Resize Images and Host Images

Any software programs which can resize images and save them in JPG format can be used to resize images to appropriate size for use in signatures, including:

Adobe Photoshop
Jasc Paint Shop Pro (
purchased by Corel in October 2004 )
Microsoft Paint
Microsoft Photo Editor (comes with Office 97/2000/2002)
Microsoft Picture Manager (comes with Office 2003)
GIMP
Serif PhotoPlus (review)
IrfanView
Or a free online (no software to install) tool such as http://www.myimager.com/


If you don't already have web-hosting space available at a site which allows off-site image usage, you can host a signature image at one of these free sites that does allow off-site image use (Webshots, Yahoo, MSN, and many others, do not!):

http://www.fquick.com
http://www.photobucket.com
http://www.imageshack.us
http://www.tinypic.com
http://www.putfile.com
http://www.imagethrust.com
http://www.storemypic.com
http://www.uploadyourimages.com
http://www.bighosting.net
http://www.cardomain.com
http://www.imgspot.com
http://www.hotlinkhost.net
http://www.imagevenue.com
http://www.xs.to (http://www.free-image-hosting.us)
http://www.imagehosting.us
http://www.yesalbum.com
http://www.thefilehut.com
http://www.desearch.net
http://www.uploadx.net
http://www.photohosting.info
http://www.myimagehosting.com
http://www.filepost.us
http://www.imagedump.us


To insert an image in your signature after it's hosted, use the direct address of your image (starts with 'http://' and ends with '.jpg') - not the address of the page to display it, and place it between [img] and [/img] codes in your signature.

To edit your signature, go to the User CP and go to the Edit Signature section.

"Edit Profile Picture" does not have any connection to, or effect on your signature.
