How to upload pictures for posts?

[Pull Tab Hunter]

Newbie question here. I can do attachments but they are small. How do I upload pictures with my posts?

Thanks,

Photobucket

I use Photobucket, it's a free service because for some reason the ipad will not allow me to attach more than one photo to a post doing it the standard way.

1) Open an account
2) Upload pictures to your Photobucket library
3) Then copy image URL
4) Paste image URL in your post
5) Hit "preview post" next to "submit post" to see if it worked
6) Submit your post now with pictures
Here's a picture of my other two passions, "My kids and archery"

Thanks 48. I opened the account and uploaded the pic to Photobucket. I then uploaded the url through the pop up to insert image but it said it was invalid. I could only post a link to the pic. Must have done something wrong.

This thing is as easy as 1 2 3. You just need to find a upload or Attach button on your screen, click on it and Browse your desired picture.

tinypic is a useful one for quick image uploads

I just started uploading to my pic storage available here. I think they allow 1K of pics.

Make sure you use the little image that looks like a picture in the attachment menu-if you use the link lookin thingy it won't display the picture correctly

I got it to work.

Vorra65 - I was using the picture icon the problem is i think the url was some how causing the coding to think it was a broken link. so after messing around i figured out to use the BB Code versus the actual URL. I think the problem was that the coding was set up to read the BB code when the picture is on its own server unlike other sites where you just need the URL at the top of the window. Thank you however for trying.

If you go to my profile you can see all my finds and such. I'll be taking pictures after every detecting session as a way to mark how good I've gotten over time sort of deal and to remember good finds and such. I just got started so right now its not much but its there if your interested.
