I have some JPEG picture files of some of my AR's on my hard drive but I don't know what to do with them.  How do you post pics?

HELP,

You need to find a host server for your pics,  or become a paying member here and use our server.
Once you have a server, pull up the pic, copy the properties and paste in your thread/reply, then bracket with HTML code to link your pics to here.

1) Crop out your ugly ass feet or whatever in a photo editor.  

2) While still in the photo editor, resize the images - a good rule of thumb is to keep the width under 800 pixels so the horizontal formatting of the thread you post in doesn't get completely messed up for people trying to view it.

3) Use Imageshack to host your photos.  It's free, no registration required, and very easy to use.  

4) Copy the image link given to you by Imageshack after you successfully upload.

"Picture Posting For Dummies"

1. First you need to sign up for a free picture hosting site. I use www.hunt101.com.
2. After creating an album, upload any pictures that you want to store on the host site.
3. When you have the photo(s) in the album, click on the thumbnail photo to enlarge it to full size.
4. “Right” click on the photo and scroll down to “Properties” and “Left” click.
5. Find the address in the box that appears.
6. “Left” click behind the address and continue to hold the button down.
7. Move the cursor to the left until the entire address is highlighted and release the button.
8. “Right” click and scroll down to “Copy” and “Left” click.
9. Go to your post or reply on AR15.COM and “Right” click in the text box.
10. Scroll down to “Paste” and “Left” click.
11. Add {img} in front of the address that you have pasted and {/img} after it, only substitute the brackets [ ] for {}.
