You need to have your images hosted somewhere on the Interweb.    Once you have done that, use the picture icon on the toolbar above which will enable you to insert the link to you image.  Your picture will then appear in the post.


I have plans.   I am dangerous when I have plans...

Hi DAB, it looks pretty simple but it is not, follow the steps:    1) Peter is right (as always!... dangerous when he has plans... but a mine of info)... get a hosting service like Flicker or similar.    2) Once you have putted your pics there (remembber to reduce the size of them)... export using BB code... that will give you an URL that you have to copy/paste on the case of Baccus Forum (clic on the mountains icon to do so)... BUT (A VERY BIG BUT)...  3) You have to erase any part of the URL code between jpg and https (I always do it from right to left)... in my experience the last part and the beginning of the URL... after a couple of intents (do not despair) the bloody small blue icon will dissapear and your pic will be displayed!... It took me time to get the knack of it (but I have an eldest son  with a "Computer Science all degrees and some more... " who taught me how and eventually I understood!). Hope it helps. Any doubts?
