right click the image, go to properties and copy the address of the image.

then:
[ img ] your image here [ /img ]

(without the spaces)

e.g.

Go into your photo archive.
Select the photo you want.
Right click your mouse on it.
Left click on "properties".
Left click THREE times (rapidly) on the address/URL (text should ALL turn Blue!).
Right click (or CTRL C) the blue highlighted text.
Click copy.

Go to post reply or start a new thread.
Click the SEVENTH button along above the text box (looks like a pic of two mountains and a sun with an arrow pointed at it).
Then right click (or CTRL V) and paste your copied text into the box.
Hit return.
Post reply...

If you want to add more photos then repeat the steps!

Kudos to Worx for writing legible instuctions, im always getting in trouble with our tester for writing instuctions that only make sense to me and the other IT geeks.

One thing i would say is in Worx's instructions where it says

You need to do this fairly quickly (the clicking that is) so that it highlights ALL of the text.

The only other pointer i would give is that if you click on the 'quote' button on the forum then you can see what the others have typed. So if you 'quote' one of these posts with the image in you will see roughly what is needed.

Well done to Worx...

Thanks.

easiest way is open a free account with photobucket.com, loads you pics into there and then they give you a link that you can copy and paste here, simple!
