We love sharing images on the net but forums usually have a strict rule against posting of images as they eat into their limited webspace. So how do forum members post images?

Larger forums provide a facility to host images directly on their servers but there is no facility at present for uploading images directly to this board. Therefore to you need to provide a link to the image which you need to store on a publicly accessible web server such as http://www.imageshack.us .

Steps to upload an image in Imageshack.us :

1. Open the link www.imageshack.us in browser
2. Click on browse and choose the file on your computer that you want to upload.
3. If the size of file is greater then 300 kb then select the option resize image.
4. Click "host it" to uplod the image. (* It make take a few minutes to upload the image depending upon your net connection)
5. After the picture has been uploaded copy the text in the box having the title "hotlink for forums (1) "
6. Now open the section of forum in which you want to post an image and click on NEWTOPIC
7. Now the paste the text that you had copied to the main text box
8. Click on preview to see the orientation of photo and adjust accordingly.
