Here's how it's done.

Find a picture from the internet. MiniMotoClub's software currently does not allow you to 'upload' pictures from your computer. So if you want to post your own pictures you'll first have to 'host' them. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) normally gives you some web space to do this. Please make sure you keep your image files small by using image software that prepares your picture for the net.

Right click on the pic you've found and select 'properties' from the drop down menu.

Among the information in the properties box is the URL of the image. Copy the URL either by writing it down or easier still by storing it temporarily into your computer's 'clipboard' (to store into clipboard highlight the entire URL with your cursor, right click on the highlighted text and select 'copy' from the drop down menu)

Come back to this site and either create a topic or post a reply.

Now you need to use BB Code (http://www.minimotoclub.com/bb/faq.php?mode=bbcode) to display the saved URL as an image.

Type using the square brackets or click on the 'Img' button on the posting page. This gives you the first part of the BB code.

Write in or paste (from your clipboard by right clicking and selecting paste from the drop down menu) the image's URL. If it hasn't already got it, you will need to type http:// before the 'www' bit of the url.

Finally make sure you are at the end of the pasted url and 'close' the BB code by either typing or clicking on the 'close tags' button in the posting screen. There must not be any gaps.

Submit you message and it should work.

Sounds complicated but once you've done it a few times it all makes sense and is really quite easy.

BB code can do much more as well click here (http://www.minimotoclub.com/bb/faq.php?mode=bbcode) to see.

Remeber, NO OFFENSIVE PICTURES. What might not offend you may offend others.

In your profile, make sure the box marked 'allow bb code' is checked

If you are posting your own pictures keep the image size to 500 pixels wide and about 30k to 50k in size, the picture won't be too big and it will load quickly

For all those who don't know how to post pictures on the web.
Firstly you need to get them hosted so you can link to them. You can do this from your own personal website or you can get them hosted on a photo site.

I use Fotango (http://www.fotango.com/) it's free and pretty easy to use.

Photos usually have to be in JPEG format. If their not then open them on your computer using paint or whatever then re-save them but at bottom of save options select JPEG

Once you have figured out how to upload your photos you need to get a link to them and funnily enough there is a button that says get a link to this picture, so press it.
Above the pic there will be a web address ie (http://www.fotango.com/p/aed/120f2222221.jpg) copy this down or copy and paste it.

Once you have done this go to post a topic or reply to a certain topic. Type whatever you want to and where you want your image to go typeThen the web adress of your picture that you copied And lo and behold you should have a picture.
Just check it by previewing your post first to make sure it's there or you hav'nt just posted a naked picture of your girlfriend.
Infact ignore the last bit just post anyway. Should be fun :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
