HTML Code on posts

lee634

I am trying to post a thread about a problem i have and want to add a screen shot,
at the bottom of this reply box there is posting rules and under that it says HTML code off is there any way i can turn this on, how can i add a pic to this post as the insert image box comes up asking for a url of the pic,

Is there any way to insert a pic into my post ????

Many thanks
Lee

you cant turn it on, because its a security measure on the board.
allowing html can allow people to run unauthorised scripts, (including the ability to screw up the website and/or your PC)

Why would you want to post in html if i may ask?

to insert a pic you would have to host the image on webspace, or on a site such as imageshack.us
this will give you a link including all the necessary bb code (code this board uses to allow links/images) which you just copy and paste into your post

so theres no way of copying and pasting a pic into a post without hosting it first

nope, not on this board

use imageshack to host, copy the direct link, then use vb:

[*img] 'direct link here' [/img*] (< without the '*' puts the image in the post)

There are plenty of image hosting sites available
