Not really. To display a picture, you would need to link to it -- it'd have to be hosted elsewhere.
So, in practical terms, you'd have to take yer picture file (a .jpg or .gif, in all likelihood) and upload it to somewhere like
http://www.flickr.com.
Then, once uploaded, you'd have to get its address (right-click on the image, "copy image address" or, if not that, then "view properties," highlight© the URL).
Once that's gotten, you'd stick it on here like so:
Code: Select all
[img]http://www.hostingsite.com/images/mypicturefile.jpg[/img]
It's not actually loaded up here, just displayed on here through a link.
That make sense?
Oh, and one other thing -- this bulletin board software doesn't let you resize images, so make sure whatever file you link to isn't too huge, otherwise it'll make the topic unreadable -- all the text will fall off the right margin, fitting the width of the image.
Oh, oh, and two other thing -- sometimes, the software won't recognize addresses that have colons and other strange characters in them. That shouldn't happen with flickr, but if you're using Google Image searches, that won't work.
