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.
