I need help guys. Im not able to post pictures using the "insert image" function given on this website. Is there something I am missing like basic uploader option? Im kinda new to this, help.

First, welcome to the Museum and the Forum!

Second, other members may have different methods for posting their pics but, here's what I do when I post pics of my customs...I upload the pics of my customs to my Flickr account (Flickr is free and if you have a Yahoo email account you have a Flickr account and it uses the same login info), by default Flickr saves a pic to my Photostream, then I click on the pic I want to share and it loads up the pic. On the bottom right of the black box the pic is in is a series of icons, the third one is a right pointing arrow, clicking it takes you to where Flickr generates the code for sharing the pic, the fourth option is BBCode which is what the Forums uses.

I copy the code from Flickr and paste it in the URL tab of the Forums Insert Image pop-up window, make sure to uncheck the "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" box. Then click OK.

The Insert Image utility puts the Flickr code in between [IMG] & [/IMG] as you continue to edit your post, you can click the 'Preview Post' to see how your text and your pic from Flickr look while leaving the Edit window open at the bottom if you need to make corrections.

Hope this helps.
