Ok guys, I know there are a few different ways to post a picture from your computer, but here’s the one I found works the best.

First, when posting pictures, keep in mind file sizes. Keep the file size as small as possible (under 100k) and also keep the physical size small too. Try to keep the width smaller than the forum width. (It sucks to scroll sideways to see the whole picture.) Find a cheap (or free) image editor and use it.

Most of the problems of posting a pic have come from using the wrong path. When you upload a file to the 2nd Light server, it goes to a directory called:

http://www.2ndlight.com/forum42ndlight/attachments/

This is the path you should use to post your pic!!!

Step-By-Step:

1) From the Reply window, use the “Attach File(s)” button. This will open an "Upload Box" window.

2) Browse for the file on your computer, then Click “Upload File”



3) Note the name of your file listed, then return to the Reply window.



4) From the Reply window, Click the Picture Icon.



5) This should open a Prompt Box like this:



6) Now we need to type the PATH to our file in the Prompt Box.

When we uploaded our picture, it went in a folder on 2nd Light called “Attachments”

The path to this folder is: http://www.2ndlight.com/forum42ndlight/attachments/

NOTE: Copy and Save this path for future reference!!!

7) Now type that path in the prompt box.



8) Then add the name of your file at the end, and click “OK”



9) The code will automatically be put into your Reply:
