Use the Image tags. Either press the button on the relpy/new page and type in or paste in the address or just place [img] & [/img] around the address of the image that you'd like to post.
How to post pictures to the internet that you then link to the board?
If they're photos that you'd like to share you can use the album link at the top of the page. Click on "Upload" and retype your password (even though it appears to be there - it's not). Browse your computer for the image, and title it anyway you like. Press "I agree with the rules" and voila! There's a limit to how many you can have in your folder there so...
If you have a lot of images you'd like to share, you can try to sign up for some webspace. There are a lot of links of sites around here, specifically for MyNetscape. I use Portland Communications to host my images. It's free and allows remote linking. You'll need an FTP program to upload them though.

Well, I didn't do the part about posting images to a thread, so I guess between the two of us we got it covered

Thank you both, again, the speed and clarity of your replies is far far more efficient than I'm used to, many thanks....
I'll post my pics for B over the weekend and you can all scratch your heads and say "if he's a pro artist how come his art is so bad?!"....

Actually, you can use IE - just put the following in the address bar,

Okay, damsel in distress time. Sonnie and Alan have gotten the scanner to scan, have created a sub domain to host then both went out. Alans got work and Sonnies got a social life!
I have the scanned pictures in my Pictures folder and have downloaded a free ftp programme. Now it is talking techno talk with me and I'm getting scared! There are a few huge files - Dak is 43000 kb alone- is this right for a b&w drawing? - and the 'Cute ftp' programme is taking an age to retrieve them. What do I do with themonce they are downloaded into the ftp thingie?
I am less technically minded than your average fish so have no idea what I am doing. How sad is this?
This will definitely learn me for saying I'd be fine to the boys before they left!

Then you need to only use the address, such as http://[your site's name]/[any sub folder, seperated by "/"'s if there's more than one]/[the file name of the image].[the type of image file it is] between this tag: [IMG] and this tag [/IMG] in your post.
To post this image from my site I do this:
My address was "http://nightcrawler.8bit.co.uk/images/EcchsMen.jpg" And all I did was add [IMG] & [/IMG] to it.

If you meant to say 43000b (ie 43kb), then that's fine. If you typed what you meant, what frelling resolution did you scan it at? Can you fit it all onto your screen without shrinking it?

No SoM, I need to shrink them bigtime to get them on the screen. Guess the new scanner doesn't work the same wy as the old one! Thank you for your help here guys, I'll grab Sonnie when he surfaces later and we'll try again.

For image-manipulation and resizing, check out the free IrfanView for Windows. More is posted about it at the top of the Bits forum.
Another free Webspace alternative that allows "remote linking" (calling an image up with an IMG tag used at LW.net) is Graffiti.net. You can upload images to this 20 MB of Webspace on the site itself, without using FTP, and can create folders easily to sort your images.

If you get the images below 150kb - then it's fine no matter what dimensions the images are.
We now have the new THUMB option. If you use [thumb] & [/thumb] instead of the IMG tags, the image will appear to be no wider than 400 pixels and should fit nicely on the message board.
Good luck, Belinda.

For a comic page, scan @ between 75-100 dpi (although you might want to go bigger if you're scanning a small panel, never scan above 150dpi for webwork. Its overkill, and probably won't fit on the screen - and make sure you trim the scan so that it at least roughly fits what you're scanning).
