I often read queries about posting pictures. I thought, I'd compile some of the procedures to get a picture in a post. <ul type="square"> <li>1.) The picture must be stored on a webserver (not on your harddrive) To get your own picture on a webserver, use an internet picture service, such as www.fotango.com , or your own webspace which some ISP provide with their service (mostly long term contracts). See your ISP's guide on how to upload them to your webspace.</li> <li>2.) You need to know the address of your image. This is simple: if you see a picture in your internet browser, move the mouse cursor over the picture an press the right mouse button. A menue appears: Mozilla and Netscape: #<tt>Copy Image Location</tt> Internet Explorer: #<tt>Image Properties</tt> You'll see the address in that appearing window: select it, and copy it with the right mouse button #<tt>Copy</tt> </li> <li>3.) Now the address is stored in your clipboard. Go to your Gassing Station Post Reply in put field, and <tt>#RH mouse button #Paste</tt> the address.</li> <li>4.) Now you have to put the [pic] code around the address to identify the address as an image's address and not as a link, which is default for www.* strings {see: www} It should look exactly like this: <tt> </tt></li> done.

[ pic ] without the spaces, then post your url www.ananova.com/images/comp/51663.jpg then end with [ pic ] without the spaces thus ending up with
