Have a read of this. The same applies to all devices. You need to upload the picture first

Have you uploaded the pictures to the media library on the forum or are you trying to insert them directly into a post?
You need to provide a link to the picture (see the link I provided above) as you cannot put a picture directly into a post

Its not easy to upload pictures. Once you upload a picture to the media library, you get a code for each picture something like "smg id=439" but with square brackets instead of quotation marks. If you put the code (including the square brackets) into your post you will see the picture in the final version like so

Ahh that's complicated - I put my photo's on Tinypic.com then copy the "IMG Code for forums and message boards" link for each photo into my forum post. Uploading photo's is easy, as little no as I remember to click the "resize" button and set the photo's fir a 15" screen (don't know why, but it works).


Works perfectly for me and I use the same process for all forums.
