Ok, I have noticed there are many many posts with photos that do not show up in these threads.

I have also noticed the photo uploader for this forum just doesnt work. I have tried over the past year to get it to work, and it does nothing!

So, how do I get all my photos to post every single time now?

Well, Im glad you asked :)

You need to get an account at an external media uploading site. I use Photobucket.com, its free.

All you need to do is upload your photo to that website. Then it has 4 optional links to choose from.

In order for it to work on this forum, you need to choose the "Direct" link. Clicking on the link address to the right will automatically copy it.

Now go back to the forums...

Now you need to look at your "Editing Tool Bar" right above the typing window.
There is a little image that looks like a picture frame. If you hover over it, it says "Insert Image", Click on that.

It then asks you to enter the link either from your computer or from a URL.

Always choose URL. Right click in the space given and click on "Paste" from that menu.

Remember, the "from computer" uploader does not work, and has never worked for me.

UNCHECK that box the says "Retrieve remote file and reference locally"

Then click "OK"

There you go.... Your photos should now be viewable in your post.
