How do I add pictures to a post?
To add pictures to a post on NICO, you need to first have an external (outside) host. Many members and staff use Iserve and you can signup there and for a nominal fee, have the ability to not only host and store pictures, but also a full assortment of photo-editing tools and the images aren't deleted after your membership expieres! Other free options include hosts such as photobucket, myspace or facebook. 1. First off you will come to this screen when you go to http://www.photobucket.com . Click the red “Join Now” button.
2. Enter the information that it asks for. Just choose a username from the list they give you if yours is unavailable. Here is an example of what I entered you will not be able to see the password, but can figure out how to make your own. Just try to make it at least 6 characters and try to use letters and numbers.  3. At the next screen it will ask you for your basic information. Such as First Name, Last Name, Gender, Birth date, etc. Just enter the appropriate information and click “I Accept”. 
4. You will be taken back to the main page. Now you want to login at the top right of the page and click login. 
Then after you login you will be taken to a page that looks like this. 
5. Where the 3 “Browse” buttons are I want you to click the first one and another window will open that will look like this. 
When you are here I want you to find your photos that are on your computer. (It is easier to have them on your desktop to begin so you don’t have to search for them.) When you have found the photo you are looking for click it once and then click the “Open” button.
Then you will go back to the other screen and you photo will be ready for upload. Continue this step until you get all three boxes filled. You screen will look like this when that is done. 
6. If you wish to add a title to your photo you can but it is not needed so I will skip this step. Next I want you to click the “Upload” button. After which you will get a screen that looks like this. This tells you that your photos are in the process of being uploaded 
After they are done you will get a screen that looks like this. 
If you wish to upload more photos repeat steps 5 and 6. 7. Next I want you to scroll down and you will see small images (also called thumbnails) of the photos you have uploaded. You will also see 3 lines below it. All you have to do is click the line next to the letters “IMG Code”, and it will be copied. This is what your screen will look like. 
8. Open another Internet Explorer window and go to the forums. Then start a new topic 
9. Ok to post a picture click the button that looks like this  . You will get the “IMG” handles to come up in between those simply right click and click “Paste”. You do not need to click this button anymore if you are following this tutorial.
Repeat for any other photos you have. Then click post and you are done. 
Congrats you have successfully posted a picture on the NICO forums.
