Title: posting pics in thread

Hi,

I can't seem to post pics in a thread nor upload pics to my gallery.

Can anybody help me out?

There are 2 different ways you can do this. If you have the image on the web you can use the [img]http://ovas.ca/gallery/531_13_05_09_7_58_57.JPG[/img] tags with the url
This is what you get
(https://www.ovas.ca/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fovas.ca%2Fgallery%2F531_13_05_09_7_58_57.JPG&hash=263d2563bf6a7dc811185b5411ffa7b597423341)

you will notice the image is pretty big so might want do the following
[img width=600]http://ovas.ca/gallery/531_13_05_09_7_58_57.JPG[/img]

Notice how the image is shown much smaller.

Another option is to open up additional Options and You can select to Choose a file for upload and attach to a post. I attached tank.JPG in this post. Notice how it shows up at the bottom of the post

I can't seem to upload pics to my gallery, is this reserved for members only?

You must be an OVAS Club Member in order to create/use the ovas gallery. That being said there are other free sites you can post photos on or even on your own website in an images folder that you can link to. You should still be able to also attach/upload the images to a post like the tank.JPG I uploaded using the Additional Options...
