Posting Images To The Board
Uploading Your Image
Step 1
If you don't have one, get yourself an account with a hosting site. For the purpose of this tutorial, I'm using Photobucket.
Sign into your account.
Step 2
You'll be presented with your Album page with the Upload box at the top.

To begin uploading click on the Choose Files button.
Step 3
When the box pops up, browse through the files stored on your computer and find the image you want to upload.

Left Click the image so that the title appears in the File Name box then click Open.

Your selected image will begin uploading automatically.
NOTE - If you want to upload more than one image at once, hold down CTRL while you select the various images.
Once uploading is complete, this box...

...Will appear while the Album page refreshes to show your new images.
Step 4
To give your image a title, simply Click to add title

Put your title in the box that appears, and click OK

Resizing Your Image
If you have photo-manipulation software on your computer and have already resized your images, skip to the next section.
Please be aware though, that some Listees are on less-than-lightspeed connections so try to keep images to roughly 600 x 400 pixels - it also helps stop the edges of the Board from distorting too much.
Full page magazine scans can be larger - so you can actually read them

Step 1
To begin resizing, find the image you want to resize and click on it.

Step 2
When the full size image appears, mouseover the Resize button.
Select 'Message Board (640 x 480)' from the drop down menu.

Then click OK when the dialog box appears.

The 'Image Resized' screen will appear.

Step 3
Click the link at the top left to return to your Album

Posting your Image
Step 1
Click on Post Reply in the appropriate thread to open an empty 'Post A Reply' box.

Step 2
Open Photobucket in a new window and find the Image you want to post.
You need to use 'IMG code' to display on the Board, so click on the last of the four options.

The bit of code you need will be copied into your clipboard.
NB. There is currently a bug in PhotoBucket that stops users of Flash 10 (All other versions seem to be unaffected) from using the link-copy method described above.
To bypass this, right click on the actual piece of [IMG] code in the white box to highlight it and select copy from the context menu.
Step 3
Go back to your empty Reply box.
With the cursor over the text box, Right Click and Paste the code into the box.

Step 4
Submit the Post
Et Voila!


Apologies for the shocking photo.
