Using ImageShack to place pictures in posts

[Mars]

INSTRUCTIONS:

To find a picture stored on your computer:

#1 Click the "Browse" button (this will open your default location, on your computer, where you store your pictures.)

#2 Double click on the picture you want in your post (the location of your picture will appear in the box to the left of the "browse" button)

#3 Click the "host it" button (you will be directed to the ImageShack site

#4 Scroll down on this site and numberous options will be shown with a *URL* before and after the name

#5 The first block (to the right of the URL address) says *Hotlink for forums* HIGHLIGHT THE COMPLETE URL ADDRESS - Use the *thumbnail* code

#6 Copy and past the complete URL address to the post where you want the picture (this box I am typing in)

You are now able to *preview* if you want to see if the procedure worked.


TO REGISTER - (the only way to retrieve pictures you have stored for future use), you must upload and host a picture first. This picture will need uploaded again. Just this first picture - the others will be stored for you once you register.

You can do the first 6 items listed in the instructions every time you want to incert a picture. These will not be stored at the ImageShake if you don't register. Either way is fairly quick.

PS the only information used in the registration is your email address.
