I got that by wrapping this link;

http://fishwrecked.com/files/images/tn_IMG_0732.preview.JPG 

with the bbcode (img) (/img) links. Make sure you use square brackets when you want it to actually work. 

To just put a photo into the galleries it can come straight from your folder(depending on size.see below). But for forums and alike you need to have them hosted!! Also the size of the file is important. Too big and the forum spreds too wide to read properly!! My photos I put through PAINT, select image/stretch-scew! Change the hor/ver (should be 100)to 20. Save as, if you don't want the smaller version in your files(put mine in a seperate file for forums). Save with host. Copy code for forums and paste to the forum (topic or comment).

Only been on the site for a couple of months or so and met some very helpfull people. So don't worry about asking them ANYTHING!!!!

ALWAYS TIME FOR FISHIN' 

1) Basically, there are two ways of displaying photos on this (and most other) sites.

2) The two ways are uploading the photo to Adam's server, or uploading it to another server (in each case, read site).

3) In each case you need to use tags (html code) - tags/code to imbedd the image into your post.

4) You need to use [image] to start with and [/image] to finish with, wrapped around the URL (address) of where the photo is hosted. (This is pretty much a standard convention across the internet). You can control the display side by further enhancing the code using the syntax (convention) [image=wxh]url[/image], where:

w is the width, for example 640

h is the height

x is a literal

5) I find the easiest way, is to use a remote site that hosts your images and then copy the web address (URL) of the image.

6) The easiest (and best IMO) is Photobucket, because it allows you to copy both the URL(web address) and tags(html) - you can see that in photobucket - you want to be copying the direct link facility.

7) Anyone that wants help with this, PM me and I'll sent you my phone number and I'll walk you through it.

Hope that makes sense, I've had a few wines and may not be as articulate, lucid and erradite as I am normally.

I find imageshack is pretty easy to use. Has an option to resize to various sizes, and gives you forum code, direct linking, etc. Option to paste a URL so your not using th original websites bandwidth. Also gives you the option to post clickable thumbnails.

E.g.

To direct post an image, then you just past the url between som [IMG ] [/IMG ] tags (without the spaces).
