There seems to be a lot of questions about adding attachments and inserting images. First, let me say that we have made some adjustments to the board – the IMG button was not working before but has been corrected.
There are 2 ways to place images in a posting:
1) Attach an image that resides on your hard drive.
To attach an image or file from your hard drive, click the [Browse] button at the bottom of the post composition page (next to the “Attach file” box), and locate the file that you want to upload from your local hard drive.
You have the ability to upload images, text documents, zip files etc… However, only certain file types are valid for attaching to this board: .gif .jpg .png .txt .zip .bmp .jpeg. There will be a limit to the file size of up to 10k for any uploads you make.
After posting, a file icon and link will show up in the body of your message. To view the contents of the file, simply click the link.
2) Insert an image which resides online or on a website.
You can insert an image directly into your message if it already resides online. Start by typing your message. When you want the image to appear, click the "IMG" button in the "vB Code" box. This will bring up a box prompting you to enter a URL address for the image. (HINT: find the website where the image is located, right-click on the image, open the properties. The properties information will display the image address. Cut and paste the address into the IMG window.) Example of image address, http://hobartwelders.com/products/im...andler175.jpeg
Select "OK" and you will see a line of code inserted into your message that looks something like this (the {curly brackets} will actually appear as [square brackets]):

Sample of how it appears in the message:
GOOD LUCK!!
