Hi Alan

Use the [ img ] tag (without the spaces) before the image's URL, and the [ /img ] one after it.

For example :

[img]http://www.retrobike.co.uk/includes/retrobikelogo90px.png[/img]

gives

Re:

You need to host your pics somewhere online, one drive, flicker, picassa etc.

You open your PIC in the browser and copy the url, the www.etc or get a link if the site has the option.

That's then the URL you paste between the IMG tags.

That's an image url
http://www.lawcycles.co.uk/wp-content/u ... cape-4.jpg

That's the same URL between tags

I use a picture resizer which with a couple of clicks makes the pics the right size for here.
https://imageresizer.codeplex.com/

Windows in their infinite wisdom didnt include one when it went from XP to W7. I googled for something similar(i think its actually this one as it exactly the same) and installed it. Been using it daily since and thats got to be 4 years or so

You would save the pic you like to your computers pics, then opposite click on it(im a lefty so always confused about which righties use ) The drop down menu gives the sizes s,m,l or custom which for most and here i set for 999x999
It then copies it to give you another sized as specified, that you load into here and thats it.

Re:

ho do you get smaller images in the thread which click to a larger image in the hosting site. Ive seen a few people do this in the for sale threads. i helps not having massive pictures posted in the thread?
