HOW TO: Post Pictures, Report a Sold Item, and File a Complaint
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 [img] tag.
The "attach file" feature is pretty straightforward (please be aware of the rules 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.
www.tinypic.com is a place that you can host your images at (which I highly recommend). See this thread for other places that you can host your images at.
Just upload your image, set the sizing to Message Board and copy the [img] url blah blah blah [/img] and paste it in your post or thread. 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.example.com/directory/filename.ext[/img]
When you make your post and want to insert an image, it should look like the above example. It's just that easy!
First step is to load your image.
Second step is to set the sizing to message board
Third step is to copy. Then paste in your post or thread. DONE!!

How to report your sold item or file a complaint
If you sold an item, please report your thread so we (MODERATORS & ADMINS ONLY) know that the item is sold. We will close the thread allowing the forum to run smoother. If you have a significant complaint regarding a certain post in your thread you can also report it or pm either one of the green classified moderators, Daft Punk, Flinch, Chezkers, ravenracer, and Fobby
So here is how it works, from in your thread:
Here is a sample picture illustrating the process:

So here is how it works, from in your thread:
- You will see a triangle icon with an exclamation point inside, if you hover over it with your mouse it shows "Report Post"
- Click it, and a message box appears. In there mention if your item is sold or if there is a major issue going on in your thread.
Here is a sample picture illustrating the process:
