To post pictures i think you need another source for the pictures, for example photobucket or facebook. You also add the image tags to the url to show the pictures instead of showing the links to the picture if you know what i mean. The tags are [ img ] link [ /img ] without the spaces in the brackets.

If you want to sell parts or anything within the forum, then yes you have to be a paid member. I think other than that you can do anything else by just being a member.

Not 100% sure, but i think i'm right about those two lol. Sucks that the weather's bad over there Can't wait to see the pics though

Hope i helped lol

Welcome aboard! Do you have pix hosted somewhere already? If not, you can purchase an S2KI membership and host them here. Otherwise, you can host them elsewhere and image link them into your post here.

For example, if you have them hosted on flickr, you have to click Actions, then View all sizes, click on a size (I usually select a medium size like 800x600 or similar), then right-click on the image, select Copy image URL, and then paste (Ctrl+V) that here within IMG tags. Sounds like a lot of work, huh? Maybe there's an easier way.

If you use Photobucket as your image host, they automatically give you the image link code to copy and paste here. It's the "IMG code" option under the Share or Links menu.

If you have a smart phone, you can download Tapatalk and upload images directly from your phone.

If you have a facebook account, you can grab the image URL (right-click on the image, select Copy image URL) and paste it here using the "Insert image" button.

Basically, once you have the image hosted somewhere, what you want to do is obtain the URL that ends with the photo's file extension which is usually ".jpg." Here's an example of what a proper image link looks like:

Code:
Oh and the "right-click on the image, select Copy image URL" is only valid if you're using Google Chrome. If you're using Internet Explorer, the only way I know how to obtain an image's URL in IE is to right-click on the image, select Properties, triple-click the Address (URL) to select it, Ctrl+C to copy, then Ctrl+V to paste it.

Hope that made sense.
