How do you convert an img file to url?

[Ace]

Can anyone help me out with converting an img file to url to post pics? I cant seem to figure it out. Sorry if this has been discussed before - I have tried to search via the SE, but cant find it. Sorry guys - any help is much appreciated

hehe yep it's been discussed a fair bit

Either upload your picture somewhere on the net, such as a personal space of your own; or use the gallery (link is up the top) you log in, choose the correct folder then click 'new image' once it's uploaded you right click on the image and select 'properties' then copy the URL of the picture; paste this url in image tags within your post; [img*]past URL here with no spaces[/img*] and that's it, except don't inlclude the * in the img tags

Yay I figured it out - I used the file attachment function (i was trying to use the 'insert image' icon before - to no avail)

Thanks Gerbil!
