Ok I'd like to post a few screen shots of something I was requested to show the next time I did it when playing Oolite. So I've got the screen shots and I even know where to find them, shocking I know, what I am struggling to do next is post and add a screen shot post some more another screen shot, etc. So if someone one with a bit more understanding than myself can let me know, that would be helpful.
Cheers.

- Upload your screenshots to an online picture hosting service (photobucket, imageshack, …). Make sure to resize them to a BB-friendly size (for instance 640*480).
- Post the link to the picture here, included in (img)(/img)-tags. (Replace parentheses by square brackets, or simply click on the "Img" button when you compose your post.)
- ???
- Profit.

Rogue - Have a look at the example below (Which is from one of my previous posts).
Let us know if you have any problems.

Cheers guys, I'll give those suggestions a try when I've finished working or real life stuff.
Much rather be flying than doing this stuff but unfortunately that's not an option, at the moment anyway.

Ok, I've signed up to photobucket and and re-sized the to 640 x 480 and I've even found the link to paste the image, but when I try I get a message on our boards saying 'your images may only be up to 1000 pixels wide.' Were am I going wrong??

Did you re-size them in Photobucket? If so, it may have linked to the original image, rather than the re-sized one. Try posting the direct link.

Ok image is up, now is that an acceptable size and also is there a way of others clicking on it so it opens up and they can zoom in and out, that sort of thing?
Cheers for the help with this folks.

Use a thumbnail link or a direct link to the original full-size image... experiment with both.

Right let's give that option a bash.

Check your Photobucket upload settings - it will sometimes auto-shrink images, which is not ideal.
At least, the old Photobucket did that - the new UI is not great, to be honest.

Cody, the small image on the last post, did it open up when you clicked on it to give a proper screen size image?

Yep! I see that Photobucket appears to no longer have upload options, per se.
