We love to see your photos on the forum, but we do not host the photos on clcboats.com.  So... 

 

In order to post photos on the CLC Builders Forum, you will first need to host the photos somewhere out there on the web.  Flickr, Photobucket, and Picasa are all popular image hosting services and there are plenty of others.  The important thing is that the service allows you to link directly to the image itself (an image URL should end with a ".jpg" extension or similar), not just the page on their website.

TinyPic is a service that doesn't even require you to create an account.  Here is what it would look like to host your image on TinyPic.

 

 

Most services will provide a few linking options, like the ones above.  Look for the direct link, with the .jpg (or similar) extension.  Copy the URL (CTRL-C or Right-Click and "Copy").

 

 

 

 

 

When composing your post, click on the icon that looks like a tree (see below) to insert an image.

 

A small window will pop-up.  Paste your URL into the first field.   

 

 

 

 

 

The dimensions of the photos are automatically detected (above: 575 pixels wide by 424 pixels high).  You only have about 575 pixels of width to work with on forum posts.  Wider images will be truncated on the right side.

 

 

 

 

 

 

To resize an image, choose a new width and leave the height field blank.  This will resize the image and keep the proportions right.  

 

Click the Insert button and you should see the image in your post, like below.
