I have noticed quite a few people mentioning that they can't figure out how to post pictures. Here's a quick DIY for how to do so:
Method 1 - Attach an image via the forum (Requires resizing the picture to 1300x1240 (585.9 KB) max) :
a. Resize the picture if necessary
b. Click on the paperclip on the toolbar.
c. Click on the first browse button and locate the picture on your computer.
d. Repeat c with up to 5 pictures total.
e. Click on the upload button.
f. The uploaded picture(s) will be listed below the upload file from a url section.
g. Click on the Close this window button at the bottom of the pop-up.
h. Click on the paperclip and select the picture to drop into the post.
i. Repeat h for the additional pictures if required.
Method 2 - Upload the image to a file sharing site (Automatically resizes the picture for you):
a. Create a free Photbucket account
b. go to http://register.photobucket.com/?ref=headerregister
c. Log in to your photo bucket account
d. Click on the "Choose Files" button
e. Select the picture from your computer and click on open
f. Click on "skip this step now"
g. The picture will now be added to your account
h. Under the picture, right click on the "Img Code" area and select Copy
i. In your post, simply paste (edit, paste or CTRL+V) the copied text (you don't even have to click on the insert image button).
