Hi,
Welcome to the forum. There are three main options for displaying your pictures here:
- Users Photo Gallery
- Attachment to a thread post
- Link to a photo on the Web
Actual uploads either to the gallery or to attach to a thread result in the image being reprocessed by the forum's server. This causes some image degradation. As a result many users choose to avoid the gallery and attachment mechanism.
It is better to link to a photo on the Web. This can either be an image on your personal Web site or at one of the many photo hosting services. To do this, you either create a new thread or reply on an existing thread. There is an icon on the toolbar with a mountain. The is the one that allows you to paste in the path (URL) to your picture.
The only restriction that I am aware of for linked images is that they be no more than 800 pixels on the long axis. There is also the unspoken rule that nudes or objectionable content may be disallowed at the discretion of the site owners.
So, enjoy! I am looking forward to seeing your stuff!
Steve
