how do i insert pictures without making them attachments? i also want to put a large pic in my sig. hopw can i go about that?
You insert pictures by hosting them in an external site such as photobucket then inserting the link to the picture within tags. If you add a large image to your signature, we will have to kill you. Click here and read section 2.4.4 to find out why. We do enforce this rule and we will send ninjas to your house to put poison in your cornflakes if you break it.
You can add a pic to a post that is already on the internet (preferably in your own Photobucket account or similar) by clicking this button in the New Thread and Post Reply areas: As for the large pic in your signature, please review the Terms of Service regarding sigs: It is the same procedure to add a pic, just in the Edit Signature area of the User CP. EDIT - two ways of saying the same thing!
Im afraid not, linking directly from any website not owned by yourself is called Hotlinking if a MOD spots a hotlinked Image it will be removed. We've had some nasty instances with hotlinked Images in the past that were protected and subsequently turned into rather vulgar pornographic pictures, hurt my eyes that did. Easiest way to load Images is how the guys have described above.
