"Can I post images?
Yes, images can be shown in your posts. If the administrator has allowed attachments, you may be able to upload the image to the board. Otherwise, you must link to an image stored on a publicly accessible web server, e.g. http://www.example.com/my-picture.gif. You cannot link to pictures stored on your own PC (unless it is a publicly accessible server) nor images stored behind authentication mechanisms, e.g. hotmail or yahoo mailboxes, password protected sites, etc. To display the image use the BBCode [img] tag."

photobucket or some other external site works fine. Supporting members can upload and attach images directly to posts or to their personal image gallery.

I have moved this to: the Ask the Moderators forums instead of Introductions. It states: Problems or Questions on General Forum Usage go in Here. (not bike related)

The double post has also been deleted.

I downloaded the pictures to photobucket.com.
Then I clicked the URL button just above the posting window on kdxrider.
Then I placed the prompt next to the URL symbol and added 1 extra space.
Then I copied the URL of the picture from photobucket.
Then I pasted onto the kdxrider post where the prompt is.

I hope this helps.

There are "Img" tags you can click on, then just copy the address of the pic and post it inside the [img]and[/img] tags.

[img]address[/img]

I like using Blogger.com to host my images. It's free and there are no restrictions on 3rd party hosting as in Photobucket. Also, Photobucket images will not show on browsers until you install an add-on (which is not available for all browsers). Once you upload images to Blogger, just right click and select "Copy Link Address". On your post here, select "Img" and paste your link.

Thanks for mentioning that.

If I had to post pics to a hosting site, it would not be Photobucket. "Hey guys, what is wrong with my bike? Here's a pic. Can you help me?" Uh, no. I can't see any pic, so I can't help you. :shock:
