I want to start a new topic. But, I want to post a picture with it. How do I do it? I've seen others do it,I can't get it to work.

Go to Community > Help > BBcodes (which you may test in this topic)

Your first step is to open up a photobucket account (or a public photo storage equivalent that Mingle accepts).

In the Forums when you post a reply, while keeping that open...open up another folder to go to photobucket (or it's equivalent)

The following instructions are for photobucket as it's all I know/have:

Once you have an account and upload pics to there all you have to do is Left Click on the picture you want to put on Mingle. To the right of the picture will be a box. In that box (Links to share this photo) will be several choices.

Left Click the: IMG line. (it should blink and say:copied quickly)

Then go back to your Mingle folder and right click in the spot you want the image to appear. (I don't know if it's necessary, but I always put it on a separate line from any words that I have in the reply).

Choices will then appear. Right click "paste" and a bunch of jargon will show up. It's supposed to, that's the computer jargon that links Mingle to the picture. When you hit the Edit Reply (on Mingles end) the picture will show up.

You can practice this in the forums without even opening an account in photobucket by simply going there and in the top "search photobucket" just put in something like smileys, or cats, or birthday....anything really and images will pop up.

Follow the above proceedures and you should be set, well... unless
photobucket gives you the Picture has been moved or deleted Then just find another

Hope this has helped. It took me years and other peoples' patience in helping me to know how to do this

You place the URL of the picture between IMaGE tags thus:
[*IMG]http://www.address here[*/IMG]
WITHOUT THE ASTERISKS.

And you get that address just like jemare said,
setting up an account that hosts your images, such as the FREE
http://www.photobucket.com.

I finally figured out how to post a picture. Thanks for the help.

I took the picture back off. Might have copy write on it. But,Thanks.
