Tried to add a couple of pics I've just taken of my dish/pole to explain my issue of a previously sent post as requested but now realise I'm not permitted to do this. Any reason ? Never tried to before so I was unaware of this. Should have read forum rules obviously I know.

I do not know the rules limitation here but normally many forums do not allow to upload pictures directly. You see You can have 1000 to 100,000 or more post in the same space that takes just 1 picture!!!! SEE THE POINT.

So you only need to learn the way that works every where. But requires you to type manually the links to the picture.
So yes it is harder. This is to the use of BB Code tags.

Please see for more details => http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/misc.php?do=bbcode

Lets do an example:

For images the bbcode is

Simple image post. Use to post medium images.
Code:
 [img]web_address_to_medium_size_Image[/img]

Important NOTE: THE Code in this forum has been tampered!!! In general anything inside the CODE area should be ignored by imag and url links. So to illustrated my example I was force to write ans extra space that you should ignore and not use in your samples. See that inside the CODE area "img" and "url" has extra space and not "im g" and "ur l" to force the forum to ignore the commands.

For posting Large Images, useful to post details. You show a medium size image, but allow the user to hit on the images to then see the BIGGG Image for the details.
Linked image posting is done wrapping a
Code:
[img][/img]
with a
Code:
[ur l]...[/ur l]
code around see

Code:
 [ur l=http://web_address_to_BIGG_Detail_Image] [img]http://web_address_to_medium_size_Image[/img] [/ur l]


1) Select your Picture Hosting Server. I use:

http://imgur.com/upload

Then you only have to Grab and Place One or many pictures from your Desktop and release then on the window. Hit Upload.
Many picture create an album. So Now you have your Pictures Ready on the WEB. And you get a Link, Where it reads copy. Now this link is surrounded by imgur.com hosting menus.

2) If you think the creation of individual links is hard for you. Then you provide the users with that link it is offered to you. Let the user go to imgur.com ans see the album.

3) Now lets see how is done more professionally. Lets use my C-Band Home Antenna. After I did the steps in 1) I got

Code:
http://imgur.com/a/IHO2O
my album but it has only 1 picture in my case.

while I am in that album amd over the Image I want I right Click and hit "View Image". This open the REAL address of the BIGG FULL Image

Code:
http://i.imgur.com/UscL2hF.jpg

So If I want to place this image on the forum I need to surround the address with

Code:
[im g]http://i.imgur.com/UscL2hF.jpg[/im g]

But it will fill the screen. So I then do the Link method. In imgur.com Medium size images are presented by adding an "m" just before the ".jpg" in other words
"________m.jpg". See my example. The name of the picture is "UscL2hF.jpg" so I write "UscL2hFm.jpg"

or
Code:
[im g]http://i.imgur.com/UscL2hFm.jpg[/im g]


Now the right way to do is to write

Code:
[ur l=http://i.imgur.com/UscL2hF.jpg][im g]http://i.imgur.com/UscL2hFm.jpg[/im g][/ur l]

Please note that the link for FULL BIGG address has no "img" tag

Code:
[ur l=http://i.imgur.com/UscL2hF.jpg] * * *[/ur l]

So now I will post the info without the protection of the code to show the image with link.

Hope it helps.

The attachment permissions are only granted to members who prove their uploads are good files.

You can do this by uploading attachments here

http://www.sat-universe.com/forumdisplay.php?f=169

Anyone can upload attachments in that section.

If your pictures are hosted at say photobucket then you can press icon above the resembles a letter with a stamp and use that for the links to photo bucket.
