Ok, a more indepth explaination:
A picture is a file (be it .bmp .jpg .gif) stored on a server somewhere in one form or another. For a picture to be displayed on a webpage that file must be
linked into a page. This involves putting a
tag inside your message to show you want a picture there. The
tag to display an image on a page on this board is [img]and%20the%20opposite%20for%20after%20the%20URL%20of%20the%20picture%20you%20want%20is[/img]. An example of this is:
- Code: Select all
Hello lockpicking101, this is a picture of an advert regularly displayed on this page... bleh
[IMG]http://www.thenetworkadministrator.com/0974463019SMall.jpg[/IMG]
That would display the steel bolt hacking picture you see on the side of the page inside your post. If the URL of the picture you wanted to show was wrong (IE: mistyped or the picture is not stored at that location) you get a funny box to show this. Looks like a:
That is where the wonder of the "preview" button comes into play
Hope this clears up on how to post the pic on the site. If however you need help in getting your picture stored on a server so that you can
link to it, I can be reached on ICQ on UIN: 101297386 or on MSN on the name simon_mallettAThotmail.com
(replace AT with @ sign) to give you a personal hand with that if you would like... there are sites that will host your pictures so that you can link to them for free.
Again, I've prolly missed somthing or not explained something important, either way PM me or you can get hold of me via IM. Hope this helps
(just a case of hitting the tag on the post msg screen and hitting it again to "close" the tag)
