Heres a guide on posting images and avatars.
Images
Although the forum has a picture attachment tool i find its easier to set up a photobucket account ( my favourite)
photobucket.com/
Or flicker account
www.flickr.com/
There are others but these 2 are pretty good.
Once you've uploaded and resized ( if necessary ) the picture
you then copy and paste the photobucket image code , which is the 4th link down in the drop down box or in the case of flicker the ubbc code onto your message box i.e this area.
If you want to see if its come out ok just hit the preview button.
When your happy with it hit the post message buttton.
Avatars
Copy and paste the direct link url from your image host ( 2nd link down on the photobucket drop down box) to the section in your profile setting that says avatar direct link/url
click on 'modify profile' in the bottom left corner then it should appear.
The boxes above will show the size its automatically been set at
but if it looks a bit squished in either height or length you can alter the dimensions manually by changing the numbers manually in increments up to a maximum of150x150. Hit save settings or modify profile and you should be good to go.
The Youtube button
If you'd ike to post a youtube and want the movie to appear on the post then 1st click on the yutube button then copy and paste the link in the middle as below.

If anyones still struggling then feel free to pm me with the prob and i'll include the problem/answers in this guide.
Thanks , Mick
