{img}C:\Users\bitcoin\Pictures\AntMiner1.jpg{/img} is not working

Nobody?

Do the pics need to be hosted online or something?

K I figured it out.

Step 1 - Do a search for a free image hosting site...I chose http://imgur.com
Step 2 - Create an account
Step 3 - Upload the pic
Step 4 - Figure out what the URL for the pic is
Step 5 - In your forum post enclose the URL with (url)(/url) except with square brackets

Is it possible to upload a picture on this site? NOt to some image sharing service.

Doesn't look like it.

I don't think that's possible.

If you could post a screenshot of what it looks like it would help tremendously

Code:

 [img] www.mypicturehostingservice.com/mygreatlookingpicturewithalongassname.bmp [/img] 

BUT! the picture has to be online. You cant "link" to a picture on your computer. Also bitcointalk.org does not host pictures so you need someone else to do it. E.g. imgur.com

Yep  this is the way you post pictures on forums

[pjviitas]

I think for a lot of people the question was not so much how to use

Code:

[url][/url]

with the Hyperlink button, it was more a question of whether you could upload pictures directly into your profile to use in forum posts.

I think this thread makes it pretty clear that this forum does not host images and that if a person wishes to post a picture they must use a third party image hosting service.

In any event, thanks to everyone for their help.
