Following will explain how to post pictures in a post on this site. Each of the pictures in this post is a thumbnail that can be expanded by clicking on it.
If pictures are posted in this manner, they will be on the sites server. That way, it will always be available, as opposed to direct linking a picture to a site such as Photobucket. The direct linked pictures may at some point in time no longer be available, dependent on the site they were linked from.
Click on New Thread or Reply or Quote button and scroll down to bottom to Manage Attachments button Click on It.
Window will open with ten browse buttons in it. Click on first Browse button and browse to where image is located on your computer. I did not show a screen shot of the Browse window open. Click on image file. Repeat this up to 10 times in each Browse button. Various sizes for files that can be uploaded are shown farther down in this window.
Click on the Upload button. Files will upload to VMax Forum web site. This may take some time depending on connection speed.
When files are uploaded they will appear in the window.
Scroll down to bottom of Manage Attachments window and click on Close This Window.
Uploaded files will be listed above Manage Attachments button.
Click on Preview Post button to see before posting.
Shows attached Thumbnail.
Click on Thumbnail in Preview Post window if you want to see image as it will appear.
You can then go back down in the window and either edit post or Submit.
If you stop at this point, all the pictures you uploaded will appear at the bottom of the post as thumbnails.
If you would like to insert the pictures at various points in your text, as shown in this post above, following will explain that.
First you upload all the pictures you want as detailed in the previous text.
Then, in the window that you are typing your post text into, there is a paperclip icon. This is in the top row, next to the smiley face icon. Click on the icon and it will display a drop down menu showing your attached pictures.
Click on the bottom line that reads 'Insert All'
It will insert the pictures in the following format.
The text '' will appear for each picture with the xxxxx's replaced by a number.
You can cut and paste these to rearrange your pictures. Also type in text between the displayed pictures.
If you delete the '' string for a given picture, it will revert to the thumbnail display at the bottom of the post. To remove it from there, go back to Manage Attachments menu and clicking on the remove button beside the file name.
You can also post more than 10 pictures by filling out the 10 slots in the Manage Attachments menu, uploading these files, then adding more pictures to the now empty browse tabs.
Do a preview post before submitting to see if things look the way you want.
Picture size display is dependent on pixel size.
Hopefully, this will help you keep from getting the picture below in response to a post without pictures.
