How do you add pictures to a new post?

Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.
In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:
1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.
2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).
3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).
4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”
5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.
Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.
Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.
How to do Pictures??

I see you figured out how to add attachments in your 500 Mag revolver thread (beautiful revolver, BTW 
). If you want to have those attachments show up as images in your post:
1) upload the attachments and submit the post (as you've already done)
2) open each attachment, one at a time, and copy the URL address from the properties of the image (do a right click on the image to see the properties)
3) edit the post and paste the URL in the post
4) surround that URL with the tags [ img] <the URL> [ /img]
(But don't include the initial space in the tags I have included so that they will show up here.)
5) repeat 2 through 4 for each attachment
For example, your first picture has the URL:
http:// www.thefiringline.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=11338
If you surround it with the img tags, it'll turn into:
If you have a link to a picture from outside TFL, simply surround it with the img tags as above.

Hey Mal,
I understand the tags thing, but how do you actually upload the attachment to your server? I cant figure it out. In my forums that I administrate, there is an insert image button in the compose window and you just select the file form your computer, and it automatically uploads it and inserts it into the post. ; )
Also, I think everyone here on the board would enjoy using avatars(small picture icons) next to their name, to show off their gun, or whatever they use to identify themselves. Can we do it? Pretty please?

snacktrack - Regarding avatars: Don't hold your breath. It just isn't going to happen. TFL is about substance over style, signal over noise, etc.
Under the "Reply to Thread" box is a box entitled, "Additional Options." In that box is the subheader to "Attach Files" Just click the "Manage Attachments" button and follow the directions.
Hope this helps.
