Adding an image to a post
BBCode incorporates a tag for including images in your posts.
One very important thing to remember when using this tag is that the image you want to display must already be available on the Internet (it cannot exist only on your computer, for example, unless you run a webserver!). This means it has to be hosted on some Web server somewhere on the Internet: another site, on myArmoury.com somewhere, a photo hosting site, etc.
You must first get the URL for the image you want to include. Doing this is different in each browser so you'll have to learn how to do it. In Firefox, you simply right-click on the image and choose "Copy Image Location". In Internet Explorer, you right-click and select "Copy Shortcut". This puts the URL in your computer's clipboard where you can paste it into your post.
To display an image, you must surround the image's URL pointing to the image with [img][/img] tags. For example:
[img]http://myarmoury.com/images/logo_myarmoury.gif[/img]
You can make this image linkable, too. As noted in the URL section above you can wrap an image in a [url][/url] tag if you wish, eg.
[url=http://www.myarmoury.com/][img]http://http://myarmoury.com/images/logo_myarmoury.gif[/img][/url]
This produces:
If you do not have your image hosted on a Web server already, you can use the Add an Attachment option. If you need help, click on Info at the top of this page and go to the Attachments section.
