Hey, guys, let's keep things interesting....Everyone's been doing such a great job, but since I've just sent this to one of our awesome community members, I figure, why not share it with everyone? Maybe someone doesn't know the secret method? (Once you've tried it, it gets easier and easier!)
HOW TO POST AN IMAGE ON BCTOne awesome, safe, old, established, very useful piece of programming is called irfanview from irfanview.com. Veery nice. (It's free, and I've donated to them, before.)
If you have an IBM-compatible machine (not LINUX or ICraps), then you can use the [fn] (function) and [prt sc] (print screen) or equivalent to get any snapshot of whatever is on your screen, minus the cursor.
Then, you open irfanview and go to menu --> [edit], then [paste], and it drops in the image. Then, if you can crop the image with a cursor rectangle and go to menu --> [edit], then [crop selection] while still with the cursor's rectangle up, and your image is now smaller (easier to upload, maybe cuts out private information, too.) Play around. Remember to "Save" your cropped image!
Open an account on imgur.com and upload your images from your computer that you want to post on this forum. It's free, of course.
Open account, click on your handle name, there's something for 'Upload Images' and then 'from computer', and go to the file directory in your computer where you've saved it, and upload. Once image/images are uploaded onto imgur.com, a fun website, find the naked URL code for each image, "http:\\... .jpg" or whatever (some images may be .png or .mpeg, or whatever,) which you will use to post on this forum.
Once you have your imgur.com image http internet path, you can post it in a BCT thread by clicking on the.... ...Hmm, ....See the buttons for
B bold and
I italics in the button toolbar up top when you 'reply' and start to write a post? It's the button under the
I italics - "Insert Image". You get: [ img ][ /img ] ...And then you just place your path between the two terms, which looks something like this: [ img ]http://www.walls-inc.net/wallpapers/2013/02/Dallas-Cowboys-cheerleaders-1080x1920.jpg[ /img ]
(I had to add extra spaces for you to read the code, or even in this message, it would just be an image, like this:
