Re: posting pics

You can upload small pics directly-- when you post go down to "Additional Options"-- "Attach files". But you cna't post very large pics. I think the limit is 70k. A better option is to sign up for Photobucket or similar pic upload acct. and post pics form that using the IMG tag. There's a sticky in the "Non-Boating Technical Topics" section of the forum explaining how to post pics.

Re: posting pics

If the pics are small enough you can insert a website img in your post.

Above your post box where the B, I, U etc are, is a yellow box, when you hover over it says, insert image. Click that and put the url in.

There is also a sticky you can read for other options here http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=285637

Hope this helps.

You might want to go a little smaller-- in my 17" monitor at 1024 x 768 I have to scroll side to side a little to see the whole pic.
