I think its time for ahow to post pictures pop-up accessible from the "post a message" page, probably. Rob?
but in the meantime, what you do is ftp your picture to wherever you intend to host it (your ISP's free webspace, usually, Geocities and other free sites just don't work). then go to the B3TA messageboard and click on the "post a message" button at the top of the screen. Type something amusing for a title in the appropriate dialogue box and, in the message box, type in the following:
IMG SRC="HTTP://www.yourwebspace.co.uk/yourpicture.jpg"
and surround the whole with "less than" and "greater than" signs so that the B3TA computer thingy recognises it as HTML.
Then click the "post message" button and all is sorted (you might want to preview it first using the "preview" button, to ensure that you're not posting something so wide that everyone else is pushed into the sea - if this happens add
WIDTH=250 before the "greater than" sign at the end of your HTML tag.
Course you can use same technique to post pictures found from other sources if you want, refering instead to the URL of that found image. Helping share the very best of the web with others...
If you continue to have problems (or don't have an ISP who can host your pics), you can always email them to B3TA using the "email us" button at the top of the screen. Some B3TA chap usually gets round to posting them on the board once they've finished ruining memories of eighties pop icons/childhood traumas with their devilish animations...
Simple really. Looking forward to seeing your pics!
