    This will provide three methods for posting pictures that appear in the thread. Both of these methods will assume you are on the full site on a computer. If you are reading this on a phone, the first step for following these methods is to find a computer. The first method will use the site's attachment system.

    When you start a new thread, you should be in advanced mode. If you are editing your post or replying to a post, you should see a button at the bottom right of the edit window that is labeled "Go Advanced." Clicking that will put you in edit mode. Click on the attachment mode to bring up the attachment panel in a new window or tab.

    In the upper right, you should see a button labeled "Add Files." Click it.

    Click "Choose File" and find the file on your computer.

    Once you have found it and clicked "OK," you can "Upload" the file to the server.

    You will see all of the newly uploaded files on the bottom, starting from the left.

    When you have your files uploaded, click on "Insert Inline." The number in parentheses is the number of files you are inserting.

    Then click "Done" and the attachment window should close.

    You should see the link to the local attachment in your post.

    You can "Preview Post" to see what it looks like. When you are satisfied, "Submit New Thread."

    Your image should now show up in your post.

    The second method uses the site imgur.com. At the time of this posting, there is no charge to upload images and no account is needed. When you go to the home page, click on "New Post" in the upper left to start the process.

    You can either drag and drop images from your computer to the browser window or you choose the image to upload.

    Once the image is uploaded, move your mouse to the upper right of the image.

    You should see some stuff appear. Click on the three dots.

    The third method uses the site's image hosting. You can get to it by clicking "Image Hosting" in the site's header.

    From there, you "Choose File" you'd like to upload.

    When all of the files have been chosen, click on "Start Uploading."

    Click on the text to the left of "Hotlink for forums." If not all of the text is selected, click on the text one more time. When all of the text is blue, right click on it and copy. You can also use ctrl-c (pc) or cmd-c (mac). Paste that link into the new post. If you uploaded more than one image, you will need to copy and paste the link for each image.
