When posting images on a forum it's always good to keep in mind some people are on slow connections and posting large images can really slow them down.  So posting clickable thumbnails is a good idea    We ask that you do not post large images here at SMF for Free Support.   Use links to the image or thumbnails.

I'll show you how to do it with Photobucket and Imageshack.

With Photobucket

a.  Login to your Photobucket account.
b.  Upload your image
c.  Find the image in Photobucket, put a checkmark in the little box under the image
d.  Scroll to the bottom of the page
e.  Click "Generate HTML and IMAGE Code"



f.  The next page will have links on it for you to copy and paste into forum posts.
     Choose the one that says:    IMG clickable thumbnails for message boards - recommended

g.  Copy the code,  paste it to your post.
    It will put a small thumbnail of the image in your post.   
    When clicked on a new page will open with the larger image.

Example:   (click pic to view larger image)






With Imageshack

a.  Go to:  http://www.imageshack.us/
b.  Click the Browse button
c.  Browse your hard drive and find the image you want to post
d.  Click the "Host it"  Button
e.  After the image is uploaded you will have a page with the links on it to post in threads.
    Choose the one that says:  Thumbnail for forums (1)
f.  Copy the code,  paste it to your post.
    It will put a small thumbnail of the image in your post.   
    When clicked on a new page will open with the larger image.

Wow Thanks Sibly This really Helped me i Thought U had to do Something WAY Different.

you can also try imagebeaver if you want to post multiple images but I am not recommending this site because it is really not safe for working people because of its background images.

Hi Lucas. Its really pretty easy.    Keep a browser window open with the Guide in it.
Go to either your Photobucket acct (if you have one) or to Imageshack in another window (or tab)
Follow the directions in the Guide.

Thanks for this,i use to post in a different way,but now i don't.
