pictures

So, what is the preferred method for posting sweet pictures of your ride? I usually use imgur.com but, they don't show the actual picture in the thread, just the link. What do you use that puts the picture right in the thread?

This is for loading pictures:

If they are on the internet your can switch to editor mode and copy and paste. Editor mode is accessed by clicking on 2 A's in the upper tight hand corner.

You can post the pic by inserting the link into your reply by using the picture icon on the advanced tab.

I prefer the pic in the reply vs clicking a link.

I usually upload right to the site and use that link in my reply

imgur works. After you upload the pictures to there site there is the code in the right column you can copy and paste. Use the bbc code, that will embed the picture to your post. Just make sure your images aren't over 800 pixels.

nice, I wondered if the BBC code worked like that. I'll use it from now on.

yup, but like I said, try to make sure you resize the images before embedding them. I know imgur lets you do that from their site (there is an edit or resize button there) and try to keep it under 800px in width. Forums can have a hard time handling giant things.
-Happy posting.
