Well, it depends. I've never used it myself, but the forum is capable of hosting pictures. Zeth could help you further in this regard. On the other hand, most people use an image hosting site such as Imageshack or Photobucket. Both have their pros and cons, but I haven't used PhotoBucket enough to comment. |

Lady from the moment I saw you standing all alone you gave all the love that I needed so shy like a child who has grown Some things are meant to be take my hand take my whole life too for I cant help falling in love with you I'd lie for you and that's the truth do anything you ask me to I'd even sell my soul for you I'd do it all for you You've got a man on your mind you've got a weight on your shoulders how you ever gonna find the words to say goodbye They say that anger is just love disappointed they say that love is just a state of mind I would give anything I own give up my life my heart my home I would give ev'rything I own just to have you back again I wonder if she's sorry for leaving what we'd begun there's someone for me somewhere and I still miss someone Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky it slips away and all your money won't another minute buy All we are is dust in the wind Vanity of Vanities, All is Meaningless | |

it so happens i am technically illiterate but i will try to explain. I have two drawings i scaned them went to my documents and saved them on my pictures. I then went to post a new topic in the hall of fine art area. I clicked on iamge to insert these pictures and it demands a URL adress for me to put the pictures on they are not on the internet though so i don't know how to get them from the file to the topic i intended to post |

okay, as Pendragon pointed out, make an account on Photobucket or imageshack. Upload the pictures to that, then copy the URL it provides |

I've never used Imageshack, but if you create a Photobucket account, all you need to do to upload pics is to click on "Choose Files" at the top of the page (it should already have defaulted to "my computer" as the source (a button on the right)), and then search for the files you want in the menu that it brings up. Once the files are uploaded, running the mouse over the image will give you a selection of codes underneath for linking to the url. Choose one and copy it. |

Ah, that's method one to link to an image. And depending on how large your filesize is, you have to do that. Now what you were originally intending to do, I believe, was what Chaz referred to: namely, having the image hosted by the boards. To do that, you don't click where it says "Insert Image," you click "Upload"/"Attachments," then click browse to find the file on your computer. Also, a note in advance: Please use .PNG files. You can get these by editing the image you have in any program (Paint, Photoshop, GIMP, what have you) and clicking "Save As." Then, under the name of the file, click the drop down box and select .PNG then save. |

Ok, I will explain this as simply as possible. I will explain how to save any image file as a .png file on a Windows computer.
The following link leads to an animated example of me executing this process. Note that, since this is a .GIF, and NOT a .PNG, the image is lossy, with some skewed colours. I apologize for such, I made this quickly. http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/4153/saveaspng.gif To watch this animation again, simply click the "Refresh" button in your internet browser, or press F5 on your keyboard.

Nothing really. It's just both a smaller (as in it's data takes up less space on our servers) and better picture. |
