Hello Blackdog. To post a photo in a thread. Go to your flickr and view the medium size one, scroll down and copy the text in the first box. Go to your new thread and paste the text into the reply box. If you now preview post, you should be able to see your picture. If you are happy with it then submit post. Hope this helps.

Hi Blackdog.

To post full size photos you need to have them hosted online somewhere, Flickr is a popular choice. Do you have a Flickr already? Once you have your pics online right click on the pic and "Copy Image Location" (or something similar if you're using IE), the in your DPS text editor click on the little icon of a mountain on a yellow background "Insert Image" then paste your copied image location into the pop up and hit ok. Your image is in your post

You can edit your signature (the text at the bottom of peoples posts) in your User CP (or quick links - your profile) to put an image in your sig you'll need to use the same code that you saw go ito your post earlier.

Hope that helps
