Hi, I think this is the right place for getting some suggestion about "how to use the forum" Actually I just start to use such forum that's why I don't know so much about the setting of forum, so I want to know how to share an image here ................
I hope I'll learn many thing more from here with the help of you people so thanks in advance.
There are a few ways to add an image to this, and many other forums, but it will depend on the image you want to add, and it's location.
For a picture stored on your computer:
A. The easiest way! This way will work for smaller/average size pictures (if the picture is too large, go to option B.) To add a picture from your computer, you have to "go advanced" when making a reply. Below the typing area (text box) is a little button that says "Manage Attachments" (Red Box in the top picture). From here, you can click "Choose File" (Red Box/Step #1 in the bottom picture) and then find & select the image from your computer hard drive. After you've found the picture you want, click on it and then chose "Open" or you can just double-click on the picture and it should select it automatically. After you have "Open"ed all of the images you want, click the "Upload" button (Blue Box/Step #2 in the bottom picture) and the pictures should now be attached. Close the pop-up window and finish typing your message/post. Then, all you need to do is click "Submit Reply" and your photos should be attached!
B. If the picture is too large, be it file/data size (too many megabytes/kilobytes/gigabytes) or the actual picture is too large (more than 620x280 pixels) you have two options:
Option B-1 is to right-click the photo and select "Open With" and choose Microsoft Paint (or you can just open Microsoft Paint and then import the picture through the "File" -> "Open" menu). Once in MS Paint, click "Image" and then select "Stretch/Skew" and change the picture size down to a lower percentage. Make sure you "Save As" and save the picture as a DIFFERENT name as the original, if the picture is important, because once saved shrunken, it cannot be undone and still be of good quality. Once you get the picture the correct size, go back up to Option A and attach the image to the forum.
Option B-2 is more complicated, but can be useful in the future. You will need to sign up for a free service like Photobucket. Then you upload your desired picture(s) to your Photobucket account. There will be an option near the picture (or the little 'gear' symbol in library view) for the pictures "links". Simply copy the link that has the IMG tags: and paste it in your post's text box!
For images you find on the web on other websites, you again have two options.
A. Right click and "Save As" the image, then go back to the above instructions for uploading off your computer.
B. Right click the picture and select "Copy Image URL". Then, come back to the forum and go to "Manage Attachments" again, and then "Upload File from URL" (Yellow box/Option #2 in the bottom picture). Paste the URL of the picture in this box and then "Upload". The picture should be attached!
Also, you can just click the little 'picture' box with the mountains (Blue arrow in the top picture) and then paste the URL from the picture into the pop-up box, making sure to delete the "http..." that was already in the pop-up box. When you press ok it should add the link with the [IMG] tags around it to your text box. Simply finish your typing and click "Submit Reply" without deleting that link and the picture should be in your post!

If you have any other questions, just ask! If your computer is newer or older than mine, or you use a different browser some of the menu names may be different. If so, again, just ask.
