How do i add pictures?

By Asmodi, in X-Wing

Wanted to add a couple of pictures of repaints but the forum seems overly awkward.

None of the usual ways seem to work.

I am obviously missing something,.

What's going wrong? I take it that you're hosting the images somewhere and then linking to them with the 'image' function?

Hosting on photobucket and linking to the site.

I am a semi pro photographer so I do this all the time but for some strange reason this site wont let me copy and paste and when I use the gallery icon it wont work at all and results in me having to shut the page down.

Copy image location from photobucket.
When posting in the forums click on the picture icon (image), paste url in the box that comes up.
Check "preview" when posting.

It should be that easy.

Works fine if you use the "direct" link, and then paste that in the dialog that pops up when you click the "Image" toolbar icon.

i use photobucket too. use the "links" and the one that says for forums

Postimg.org is free and easy to use

I use the "Hotlink (2) for Forum"
