Option #1 - Forum Hosting
Below the posting box there are three tabs and one of them is 'Upload Attachment'. You can point it to a file on your hard drive, give it a comment and add the file to the post. This method will allow up to medium sized images but is not ideal if you upload a lot of images. This option also does not display the images well. However, the more images that are held in the servers of this forum, the slower the server will respond. This won't happen until the size of the forum reaches much larger levels but at some point, we would need to start to "Prune" older posts to prevent any slow down.
Option #2 – Imgur.com
There are plenty of file sharing sites but the one that I have found to be the most user friendly and stable is imgur.com Imgur is simple to use and is very fast at serving up images. Upload the image by browsing your hard drive or even drag and drop it onto the page. Once uploaded they provide you with sharing links. Copy the BBCode text and paste it into your post. The correct way to use BB code is in the image below. This is the simplest way of uploading images and does not take up a ton of our server space so the forum will work faster for everyone.
