Hi guys,

Sorry for being thick, (i'm a bit of an amateur with this) but can anybody tell me how to upload photos onto here? There is a box with 'Img' on it which i assume is what you need to use to upload a pic but wen you click it all that comes up is [img]. I'm a bit confused!

Thanks. :S

Have a look at this....

Basically you have to set up an account (its free) with either photobucket or imageshack, upload you photos there then copy the direct link of the image uploaded and paste in in you post here in with "[img]" before and after it.. You can select "preview" to check the coding is write before you "submit" the actual post..

I'd also suggest www.imgur.com if a mod could add that to the sticky that'd be good. The site is free, you can have an account if you want one, but don't need it, and the image hosting is brilliant.
Very simple to upload, you can drag and drop from your PC, copy and paste (literally ctrl + v) etc.
