For those who don't know, there are two ways to add an image to your post.
One is by using the "attach file" feature, and the second way is to use the tag.
The "attach file" feature is pretty straightforward (please be aware of the rules (http://www.dragva.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=241233#post241233) before attaching anything), and for those who didn't know, is one of the available options when clicking on "new thread", "post reply", or "quote".
Using the [img] tag
This is also fairly straightforward. The only caveats are that the image you want to insert must already be hosted at a site that allows remote image linking. This meaning that the image is already online and not on your computer.
See this thread (http://www.dragva.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63570) for places that you can host your images at.
Once you have the address of the image (right-click: properties if you need to), just shove it between [*img] and [*/img] (remove the * in the examples!) to make it work. If the address of the image starts with a drive letter like a: or c:, that means it is on your computer and not usable! If you use an address like that, we will make fun of you.
Example of how to use the image tags:
[img]http://www.geocities.com/youaremybitchesondragva/theimageurl.txt
When you make your post and want to insert an image, it should look like the above example (of course, with the proper url substituted). It's just that easy!
