1. Create a new thread in the Photo Exchange forum, and give your new photo thread an appropriate title.
2. Open ImageShack.us in a new browser window - we insist that members use this website to host and post photos.
3. From the ImageShack.us homepage, select the first image you wish to upload by clicking 'Browse...', making sure the 'file' radio button is selected first:
4. Once you have selected the image in the 'Browse...' box, press the 'host it!' button.
You must now wait for the image to send to ImageShack.
5. Once uploaded, look for the code next to 'Thumbnail for forums (1)', or if that isn't on the page, use the code next to 'Hotlink for forums (1)'. Select the code in this box (usually by clicking just once) then copy it to your clipboard (Ctrl-C or Edit -> Copy).
6. Return to the ArcadeXL forums window, and on a new line, paste your image code (Ctrl-V or Edit -> Paste), and add whatever captions or comments you'd like above or below the image:
7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for all the photos or images you wish to include in the post:
8. Your post is now ready for submission. Click 'Submit New Thread' and you should end up with a post like this example one I made earlier:
Example Thread:
The images will be shown as thumbnails, which when clicked will show the larger version. End of how-to.
What to do:
- Do use correct grammar and spelling, and write fundamentally in English.
- Do only create threads in order to display photos.
- Do provide informative captions and title for your photos or images.
What not to do:
- Do not create threads in the photo exchange which belong in other forums.
- Do not post offensive, or argumentative content. This includes pornography, swearing and insults.
