I am trying to find out how to post pictures and also how to place a saying or quote at the bottom of my post
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Below is a great HOWTO on how to post photos. Please realize Photo bucket has gone from a free site to a pay site. If you want to use PhotoBucket, you will need a paid account. Find any number of other free hosting sites and follow the same process.

You'll need to find an outside website (like Photobucket, Imgur, etc.) to host your photos.

Then follow these instructions to post a photo:

The signature is set within the personal zone. It is also advisabe to put a contact email address there for other members to see. This info isn't searchable by bots, but it is advisable to take extra care when posting an email address such as typing "at" instead of "@".

Welcome aboard, read lots, lots to read.

You're welcome but, I swiped the info from a post in the office section. There is infor on posting vids there too.

The signature is added in your profile settings.

Please put the hr "tag" (letters hr between [ ] brackets) as the first item in your signature so it will present a "line" above the signature.

Otherwise your posts will look like your signature is the last sentence of your post.

Since it is not searchable by bots, I have found no reason to obfuscate the email address in the profile. It is only visible to members. Making it the regular address, without any "at's" or anything like that, also makes it clickable. Clicking on it opens a new email in your email client already addressed to the member. I've had my full address in my profile for over 10 years and never got any spam from it.

Welcome to the forum!

Re the procedure (above) for posting a photo -- as has been said, you need to use a hosting site. Many folks here used to use photobucket, but when they got kind of crazy with their fees, most people went someplace else.

I find that PostImage is very user-friendly, and it's FREE.

Re: the photo posting procedure above. Be advised that Flickr® does not permit just copying the URL of the photo on their site and posting it between the "[img]" and "[/img]" boxes. Doing so is a violation of their rules. Instead, they provide a feature for sharing photos that produces a link that can be copied and directly pasted into a forum. The procedure for doing this has been very nicely documented and posted here some time back. Perhaps the person who posted it then will repost it here.

ETA: I found the old link. https://sigforum.com/eve/forums...920069724#7920069724

and please don't go overboard on the sigs. They shouldn't be longer than the average post.

You are not posting too much at all, just finding your way on a new forum. Your sig is a single line. This is good! Some people go overboard and have their sig list every gun they own, or use some lengthy quote, or something else that takes up a lot of space. As a result, their forum posts are often much shorter than the sig line, which can be annoying when having to scroll to the next post.
