Thanks!

Um...

It's still the same internet on a Mac. Upload to photobucket... copy the bbcode/forum option from the pic you upload (usually with a [img][/img] tag). Paste that code here...

My old standard answer...

Here's my standard reply...

First, put http:// in front of it: http://tijil.org/Vanilla_sig.gif

Then enclose that complete address between [img] and [/img] like so:



When that is included in your post, a browser will show the image when the post is looked at.



Like that. :D

(Just an additional note, in order to work right the last thing in the URL must be either .jpg or .gif or .png - no other image formats are accepted by the software.)

Because ScionLife does not have the space to store several hundred thousand large images for free.

It all comes down to what to spend the money on, and storing images for free (other than the limited number each member can store in the personal gallery in their profile) isn't one of those places.

There are a lot of places on-line members can store images for free if they need to, and we certainly have NO objection to members storing images in their profiles gallery for free.

Here's mine:

(...and here are a few thousand more that I pay to store elsewhere... http://www.flickr.com/photos/uuv_one/sets/ )

(Personally I also have three other private domains that I pay to have hosted elsewhere that are also loaded with images and such... two of them are in my signature...)

Yeah, it would be easier if we just stored everyone's images for free on ScionLife, but I don't think that is going to happen.

Thanks for the tips! When I have the time, I will post some pics. Just got the xB lowered with Tanabe NF's, so it'll be in the official Tanabe NF thread.

Tomas, wow, looks like you're quite the avid photographer.
