There have been a lot of people who don’t know how to put pictures in their posts. I figured I’d make a quick tutorial on it.

1. You’ll need to make an account on a photo sharing website like PhotoBucket.

2. Upload your photos.

3. When your photos are done uploading, click on the one you want to post.

4. Copy the direct link.

5. When making your post, select “Insert Image”.

6. Paste the direct link and you’re done!

Let me know if this helped. Thanks.

You can also copy-paste the BB code one, since it already has the BB [img][/img] tags. The same goes for signatures. Avatar pictures need to be the direct link, though.

Happy picture-posting :wink:

Make sure it looks like this:

(img)DirectLink(/img)

but with instead of ().

You may have accidently done it like this:

(imgDirectLink)(/img)

Sometimes you can accidently paste it in the wrong spot.
