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. Once you've loaded up your picture, right click on it and you'll see 'properties.' Click on that and you'll see 'Address: (URL).' Highlight that web address, right click, and hit 'copy.'
Now go into your post and type in " [img] " with no quotation marks. After that, right click and hit 'paste.' Now after the address type in " [/img] " with no quotation marks. The [img] tage starts the image command and the backslash "/" ends the command.
It should now read [ img ]
http://your picture here. jpg [ /img ] but without the spaces (which are there just for informational purposes.)
Now hit the done button and your image should show up! Congrats! If you have problems and your image doesn't show, make sure you copied the address correctly and the image tags are in place with no spaces. After that, if your still having problems, contact a moderator.
