silly newb question

How do i put an image up here that is stored on my computer? any help would be great.

I've forgotten how, but I think there's a similar question in the archives you might be able to reference. I think if you can get your pics in the gallery here that makes it easier.

As you can see, I'm a tech-tard, too. :wink:

Heckler,

The way it works (not just here but on any internet forum) is that a picture must be stored somewhere on the internet if you want to include a picture in a post. So just go to the flyaddict photo gallery page and follow the instructions to upload. Your pictures don't necessarily need to be in the flyaddict gallery, if you have web hosting somewhere else, they can be located there as well. For example, sites like ofoto.com let you upload as many photos as you want and they host them on their site (they make $ by charging you for prints).

Once the picture is in the gallery (or hosted somewhere on the internet), it is now has a URL address and can be viewed by just about anyone with an internet connection. In order to put a picture in one of your posts, you need to know the URL address of that image. You can get the URL address of any image on the internet by right clicking on it and selecting properties. Highlight the URL address and right click again and select copy. Try doing this for any image you see in your browser and you'll see what I mean. Now go make a post...when you want to insert the picture hit the Img button and paste the URL address of the picture between the slashes.

For example, here's the flyaddict logo at the top of the screen:

Nope, definately not a guide. That must've been someone else.
