I have noticed that some people are still having difficulties posting pics in posts. Hopefully this will help clear up some of the questions and confusion on how to do it.

There are a couple basic things that need to be understood first before continuing. On the internet, everything has an address, the technical term is URL. Every page has an address, every object on that page that is not text has its own URL as well. For example; this is the address (URL) of a page in my photo gallery http://www.bonnevilleamerica.com/photopo...=500&page=1. This is the URL (address) of the picture on that page http://www.bonnevilleamerica.com/photopost/data/500/202UKMCross3D400.jpg. In order to post a picture in a message, you need to have the address of the picture (graphic, image, whatever you want to call it). Your image does not have to be in the BonnevilleAmerica.com PhotoPost to be able to use it in a thread, you should be able to grab just about any picture from any web site, such as the screen shots below, they are stored on another web site..

So with that out of the way, here we go.

Getting the URL of an image
1- Go to the page that has the image you want to post
2- Right click on that image
3- Click on properties


4- Highlight the URL of the image
5- Right click on the highlighted address
6- Click on Copy


Congratulations, you now have the URL of your image


Adding the image to a message
1- Create a new message or post a reply to a message
2- Without any spaces type [ image ] (the spaces are ther only so you can see the tag otherwise it would look like I am actually going to add a graphic
3- After the tag, right click and click on Paste


4- Without any spaces type [ /image ]


If done correctly, after the message is posted the result would be:


Good Luck!!
