How To: Attach Pictures to the Forum

[listy]

All Credit to Scott M.

 

Noticed a lot of people struggling with the attachment app on the forum so thought I would do a little guide.

 

Firstly create your post/thread like the following....

 

 

Next Scroll down the page and click "manage attachments" (See note 1)

 

 

Click "Browse" on the first box and then select the image you wish to upload. (See note 2)

 

 

You can add multiple pictures by clicking the next "browse" button, up to 5 at a time.

 

 

Once you have selected the images you wish to upload simply click "Upload" to upload the files to the site. Once finished it will look like the following.

 

 

Job finished (See Note 3)

 

 

Note1:

 

You cannot manage attachments using the "Quick reply" box. If you are in a "quick reply" box simply click "Go Advanced" in order to access the attachment options.

 

 

Note 2:

 

There are some image restrictions. The maximum filesize that you are allowed to upload is 200kb so check the size before uploading

 

 

Note 3:

 

If you want to embed the images into the post do the following....

 

Right click on the hyperlink of the image you want to use and click "copy shortcut".

 

 

Right click in the window where you want the image to be, click "Paste" and then put the tags on either side of the link</p><p> </p><p> [img]http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=133594&stc=1&d=1306702492
