huh? I dont get it? you mean post pictures when you post a reply?


if that is what you mean then here goes.

First check the resolution of your image. you dont want it too large. Generally 800x600 is big enough. (say you took a picture with a digital camera, set the quality to the lowest setting. 3 megapixel and up is too big for Internet viewing)

Second go to some image hosting site. Somebody or some place needs to host your images on a server somewhere. I recommend www.imageshack.us it is free

When you go to the website above, there is a field box and a "BROWSE" button. browse for your picture you want to put up.
Then click "Host it"

Afterwards it will host the image and the page will change, There will be a series of boxes with text written in them. highlight and copy the last one. on the right hand side it will say "Direct link to image"

copy all of that in the field box. then go to Racing Paper Models Forums or wherever you want to post it.

When you reply or create a new post (DO NOT DO quick reply) there are icons above the message box. on the second row, 4th from the left there is a little icon that looks like a picture of some nature image.

click that and you should get the text {img} follwed by {/img}

(instead of { it will be [)


or sometimes a pop up window will show up. If it is the first then paste the link from imageshack inbetween the two texts. or paste it in the pop up window if there is one.
