One of the really nice things that you can do in phpBB is to embed photos into your posts to help explain what you're talking about. There's a lot of truth in the old adage that picture is worth a thousand words! It's easy to do this and there are a couple of ways to achieve this.

If you're using the default subsilver "skin" to view this forum, here's how you can insert photos into your posts:
- The maximum dimensions for photos are 1024x1024 pixels. If your image is larger than this, use a photo editor to resize it.
- To insert an inline photo that exists on your PC:
- Scroll down until you can see the bar labeled "Upload Attachment"
- Click on "Browse" and select the file that you want imbedded
- Enter an optional comment in the "File Comment" box
- Click on "Add the file"
- If you want to add the image in-line, position the cursor where you want the image to appear and then click "Place inline". If you don't do this, the image will appear at the end of the posting.
- Repeat steps 2-5 for any additional files
- If you want to include an image that's on-line somewhere on the Internet
- Place the cursor where you want the image to appear
- Click on the "Img" botton above the text box.
- Enter the URL of the image between the "[Img ]" and "[/Img ]" tags.
