Just thought I create this thread to give new members a bit of info on how to post pictures in the forum..
Created by the admin for tutorial purpose only. It will be much appreciated if the admin can be notified first if you want to copy the above instructions.

- Firstly, go to a free picture hosting service website like imageshack.us and click on the "Browse" button to navigate to the picture you want to post. Click "Host it!" to upload the picture.
- Once you have uploaded the picture, you will see the following screen with lots of URL links. The one you will be interested in is "Hotlink for forums (1)" or "Hotlink for forums (2)" URL. If your picture is too big and would like to include thumbnails for user to click on (e.g. like what I've done here), you need to select the "Thumbnail for forums (1)" or "Thumbnail for forums (2)" URL
- Right click and copy the URL, for example "Hotlinks for forums (1)" or "Hotlinks for forums (2)" URL as stated in the picture above. This is the link which you need to include in your message post.
- In your message, include the following message tag and paste your URL in between the tag. See picture below. If you are lazy to type it in, you can use the Tag icon. click on the icon that shapes like a "picture frame" which is the 4th one on the lower left row, it will insert the necessary tag for posting image. Paste your URL in between like the picture below.
- Once you have done the above, your message post should look like the following. You should by now included the necessary tag to link a pictures to be display in your message. Click on the "preview" button on how it looks like.
That's it. You have just posted a message with picture.
