Putting pictures in forum threads

Hello everyone. I am very computer knowledgeable person. But....... I can't for the life of me figure out how to put pictures in the forum threads either for selling or to put your psn id or xbox gamercard etc. each time you make a post it automatically shows up? I click on where it says add image then it wants a URL. Is that the only way to post pics in threads if you have them online somewhere? Also I have tried adding my psn id to my posts. It says you copy the html and post it in a forum where your making a post and then your psn id is suppose to show up. Instead I always get this :



And the picture never shows up. I was wondering if anyone can provide some insight to me on this. Thank you very much in advance,

It's just the url of the pic inside the IMG tags. If you want to make it a link, put the IMG tags inside some URL tags.

There are spaces in those tags to prevent them from parsing. When you do your own, don't put any spaces in.

Thank you very much I figured that part out. Is there a way to automatically have this show up each time I enter a post? Thanks very much and about adding pictures to selling threads. How do you do that? Do the pics have to be on the internet posted on a website? Or can I post pictures in selling threads otherwise?

Put it in your signature if you want it to show up all the time.

Posting pics in sale threads works the same as any other thread.

You can host you images at sites like tinypic.com or imageshack.com

Just copy and paste the link that they provide you.

Yep I figured it out thanks to the help from everyone. Thank you !
