why can.....

[simmy]

some people post pics directly on to here but others have to create a photobucket account?

As far as I am aware no-one can post pictures directly on here. Ithink it's more a case of some people post links to their pictures on photobucket, others paste the link into the image box that opens when you press this button as opposed to: http://www.reptileforums.co.uk/image...nsertimage.gif

Exactly what Ray said. No one can upload directly to the forum, you have to use the [ image] tags or button.

I suppose my pictures may look as though there pasted but thery are just linked to my server, there is no option here to upload pics (wise admin choice may i just add)

Simmy - If you find a picture on the internet you would like to share, you can do so by clicking the button and pasting in the link to the picture. That will show the picture in your post.

However if it is a picture of yours (saved on your compuer) you will have to host it on the internet somehow. You can do this by adding it to photobucket. Then you just paste in the code underneath the picture that starts with [ image] and it will show in your post.

Those are the only way to add photos on the forum.

Hope that helps a bit?

You can also host pictures at xs.to - Hosting and you don't need to register, just don't delete the cookies they give you.
