    Linking Off Site Photos

    Hey,

    I post on other forums and I always use the [url] way to show pics from a site like imagevenue or something. Which was a lot eaiser cause i could just copy and paste it to diffrent sites without uploading it all the time. Is that possible here I don't wanna add all my pics as attachments.

    Thanks

    Sure.
    The photos that you attach here usually last longer though.

    Are you using the BBS code provided by the hosting sites?

    It's probably working, you just can't see it yet. You will be able to see all of the links and pics that are hosted off-site once you log in the second time.

    Here are detailed instructions if you need them.
    If you can't see the links your privacy settings may be set too high.

    6. Close that window
    7. Open your Notebook or Notepad. Point your curser at the big box, right click and select PASTE. Repeat as often as you like BUT Hit your SPACE key after each post. After 4 posts hit your ENTER key to place the next thumb below the previous group.
    8. Come to the board and select New Post or Post Reply, as you choose.
    9. Right click your Notepad and select Select All
    10. Right click again and select Copy
