From the FAQ


2) How do I post a google link with the tag I just took a picture of ??

    * Note the address where you found the old tag while you take the picture
    * Go to google maps (www.googlemaps.com)
    * Input the address into the search bar, which will place a red marker on the map
    * Go to the blue "link" button in far right and click on it
    * You will see the "Paste link in email or IM" address will be highlighted
    * Right click in highlighted field and click "copy"
    * Paste in the reply to field on SSBA Motorcycle Tag thread from old tag


3) How do I host my images somewhere?
    We suggest photobucket to host your images.  It is FREE and allows you to resize your images right on their website.  It also provides you with the [IMG] tags needed to post in the game.

4) My images are HUGE, what is the maximum size of an image for the forum?
   We recommend keeping your images to a maximum of 800px on the largest side.  Use your discretion of course.  Photo bucket's photo size of MEDIUM would be perfect.

Just a quick piece of info.

Instead of photobucket, it is possible to use attachments and still embed the image into the body of your post (in order to allow for quoting the original tag and photo).



1. Attach your image to your post, as I have done here.

2. Post it.

3. Click on your attached image to expand it to full size.

4. Right click and "Copy Image Location" or "Copy Link".
   You should get something like this: http://www.sasksportbike.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=18180.0;attach=30925;image

5. Edit your post and use the [ IMG ] tag to embed your image

Code:

[img]http://www.sasksportbike.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=18180.0;attach=30925;image[/img]

6. Save your post.


This is for those people who don't have a photobucket account and still wish to play!
Hope this helps.

Kdubbs, getting close on those image tags.  Instead of using the http links off photobucket, use the IMG tags.  Just copy and paste out of the IMG box.  See the photo:
