How do I post an attachment on MSE?

Hi

I've been trying to post a photo on a thread now for a week but to no avail. I'm not sure if this is the right thread or not. At the bottom of my screen are my posting rules and I am not allowed to post attachments. Does anyone have any idea how I do this. I know that it is possible as I have seen other threads with images in them

Thanks in Advance

Jo

    You need to use one of the free photo hosting sites, upload the photo there and post a link to the URL of the photo.

    www.photobucket.com is a popular one.

    MSE doesn't upload photos. That's the only way to do it (unless you're running your own webserver!).


    If it's a photo of something common, find a pic on the internet and link to it instead.

    Image URLs are added here by using the button with the picture of a mountain on it. Like this: insertimage.gif

    That's how we do big spam:spam%20boy.jpg

    Bare in mind that this could be considered as bandwidth theft from the owser of the site you are linking from - be careful :)
