Quest. loading pics

Help! I've noticed in other threads big pics. How do you guys get good size pics on your post? Is there anyway to add more than 3? 3 is not enough!

tips? pointers?

Upload your pics to the members gallery, view the pic you want to post (separate window) right click on the pic and highlight/copy (control/C) the url, in your post window click on the icon of a yellow square with a mountainlike symbol, and then paste (control/V) the url into that popup. This will place the picture full sized into the message box rather than an attached link. The same method can be used if you utilize an image hosting site such as photobucket.com

That is when the user is utilizing an outside host/source for holding the pictures. This is where I suggested photobucket.com Free hosting, easy to upload pics and when it comes to posting into a forum such as this its very simple... I wrote up a quick how to for my chihuahua website let me see if I can dig up the post:

The other method for posting pics is to use a pic hosting site like Photobucket. Once you load your pic onto the site, you can copy and paste the IMG tag into the text window on here, and the pic will appear. The advantage of a pic hosting site is that you can make your pics available for any website.

When posting pics, make sure they're no larger than 150 dpi, and maybe 4 x 5" or they will take forever to load for those who don't have broadband.

You can also host your pics on ShowMeTheMINI.org.
Pics larger than 800 x 600 are automatically resized and compressed slightly so that they will load quickly.
