How do you post pictures in posts?

[Shackles]

I've been trying a lot of different ways of trying to upload my roster, but no matter what i do, copy/pasting the image URL or just the name of the file, when i look at the post preview it never shows the image. I feel pretty stupid for having to ask this, but how do I put images into my posts?

You're almost there. What you need to do is:
[img]<insert your url here>[/img]

that's what I tried, I clicked the 'Insert Image' button, then pasted the URL between the [ img] and [ /img ] boxes, but when i preview the post, the image still doesn't show up.

Check your profile, see if you're actually showing images. Also, check your url, see if it's right.

Try posting it in this thread to see if I can see it.

I see what you're doing...

You can't post pictures directly from your hard drive. It has to be on the web. Upload it to Photobucket or SpamtheWeb first, then use the img tags.

spamtheweb.com/ul/

Go onto there, click browse, find the image, and double click on it.

Click upload, wait for it to upload, copy the link, and post it in between the img tags.

BMPs don't work, sorry mang.
It's a glitch in the forum, not your fault.

Use a different format.
