You treat them the same as any other image/pic you are puting in your post, I believe.

Sorry Figtree...I'm a div too I've never downloaded any.... just used them straight from the sites... but sure someone can help you.

imageshack.us and tinypic.com are good image hosts Very easy to use, upload them from your computer et voila

How do you put them in your posts

I can only use the ones that are available on here. I know I'll muck 'em up if I try to use others off site.

On smiley websites you click on the smiley you want to use, then a link appears and you copy and paste it into your reply box.

'Zactly ! I would like to put them in my posts but don't know how to obtain them now I have got them inthe scary bowels of my comput'

Like this you mean?

You now need to upload them to a picture storing site.

I use photobucket, but Charli has suggested some others.

Once you open an account (very simple to do)... its easy to upload them.

Once there you can use them as you would from a smiley site.

Upload them from your computer onto tinypic then copy and paste the link into your reply box.

Imageshack will give you a direct link to the image, which you can simply put between the (img) and (/img) tags

Tinypic and Photobucket will give you a direct link and, if you set your settings right, the code to put on the forum (look for BBCode or again the img tags) so you don't have to worry

Yes, it should be the same as from a smiley site, but I've never bothered downloading my own as there are so many sites around.

This is a practice..ignore it if it goes wrong..





*edit* ...yeah !!! it worked...

Thanks for the tips peeps

Woohoo! well done!

Go to tinypic.com. Just follow the instructions. A box will come up for you to browse through your images saved on your computer. Click on "open" to select the one you want to use. Wait a couple of seconds and tinypic will upload the image and give you a selection of links to use. Choose the link for forums and copy and paste that link into your reply box.

Try it out on here. If you get it wrong you can delete your post on this forum if you wish.

Figtree do you have a photobucket account or similar? They are very easy to open and don't cost a thing. Then you can just see a smiley you like and copy it, store it on your photobucket account (or similar) and 'share' it from there. Its such fun and well worth persevering with

Ta muchly fellow FMs
I will keep trying!

Figtree, are you saying that you don't know where they are stored on your computer?
As in you'd love to click on one to choose it, but you can't because you don't know where they are.
