How to Post Pics

Here's a quick picture tutorial for how to post pics when they are hosted elsewhere, like on Flickr. I'll be using my Flickr as an example.
I posted these on my Living Reefs album and it looks like they downsize the pics, so these are a little hard to see. I'll try to redo this later when i have time.

Step 1, go to your photo account and find your pic that you want to post here in the forums.

Step 2, right click on the photo and choose "copy image address" or whatever sound similar on your system.

Step 3, go back to Living Reefs and go to the bottom of the page to use the Quick Reply or click on any of the Reply icons. Either way you can find this button that looks like a polaroid photo. CLICK IT!

Step 4, paste the url into the dialog box that pops up. Make sure you don't have "http://" in there twice.

Step 5, click ok and your url is now pasted in the reply box along with the appropriate image tags so either do this again to add more images, or if you are done click the Post Reply button.

I think photobucket is easier. Put the cursor on the pic you want. a pop window will open. Go to the bottom one. Img click once to make blue and right click it to copy. Then just paste in your post.
 
Even in photobucket, you should be able to right click on the photo, no?

And cool pic david! But who's tank is that? :D
 
I can tell by your url that you skipped a step.
Above your pic there is some text that says "all sizes". Click that. THEN right click/copy the url.

And I also said to make sure you don't have "http://" twice in the dialog box. You have it twice.

Yes, I did not have it twice before I was just trying to edit that one, thanks for your help so far!
