If you want to post a topic or a reply and include an image within that post then below you will find instructions on how to achieve this.
If you want to upload an image that isn't already on the site then follow this link to find out how: CLICK HERE
To add a standard image (photograph) to a topic all you need is the images "URL" address, you can get this by searching the picture section to display the image that you want and below that image you will find further details about who uploaded it, copyright information etc and also the "URL" address, it will be something like http://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/images/userpictures/Yourimage.jpg" Copy this address into your computers clipboard memory by highlighting the full address with your mouse while depressing the left mouse button then release. then using your right mouse button over the highlighted address select the "Copy" option.
At the area within your new topic or reply where you want the image to appear, click on the "Insert Image" Icon on the editors menu, it will then ask you for the "URL" address of the image that you want to include. In that request box copy the address from your computers clipboard memory by either pressing the "CTRL" & the "V" keys simultaneously or by right clicking your mouse and selecting the "Paste" option.
In your topic you should now see that the software placed the following code into your topic {img}http://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/images/userpictures.yourimage.jpg{/img}
IMG Commands {img}xxxxx{/img} = left aligned image with no word wrap {img=left}xxxxxx{/img=left} = left aligned image with word wrap {img=right}xxxxxx{/img=right} = right aligned image with word wrap {center}{img}xxxxxx{/img}{/center} = centered image with no word wrap
Note: I have used the "{}" characters for instructional purposes only in reality it will show the "[]" characters, this is because if I used them here in this example it would try and display the image or the function and not the code used.

I wasn't criticising OGFB's time - I was just trying to make an analogy. It is a lot faster than 2 days, I agree. And even faster using your method where the picture's URL is copied at submission and used immediately!
