We have again installed the ImageShack feature to allow you to easily post images in threads. The procedure is pretty much the same, with a few added requests.

To post an image in a thread, while in the "New Thread" or "Post Reply" sections (note, this is not available in "Quick Reply"), in "Additional Options" under the editor you will see:

Simply browse to your image and choose "host it!"

With vBulletin, we ask that when the ImageShack window opens, you select the "Thumbnail for Forums (1)" code and copy and paste it into your editor. This will produce the following thumbnail and hotlink to your image:

If the image resolution is small enough, the option for a thumbnail will not be available and you may then simply select the "Hotlink for Forums (1)" code and paste it directly in the editor. This will produce a hotlinked image; however will be small enough to not break the thread (like the first image used above).

If for whatever reason ImageShack does not work for you, you may use the "Attachment" option directly below the ImageShack option. You will be able to upload many file types--including images--however the size allowance is more limited.

Thanks!
