Here's how to add images into a post:

I use a free account at photobucket.com to copy/paste pics into a post.

You have to upload your pictures from your computer to your photobucket account first, using the 800 X 600 re-sizing option in photobucket.

You will "bloat" the thread if you use larger image sizes!


Here's a tutorial on how to upload & re-size images using Photobucket.








Click "link options" of your PhotoBucket Album to set the link options you want to use as shown below and click "save":






When you want to add a picture in a post, first click the "insert link icon" --> <-- on top of the "Reply to Thread" box.




A message comes up and you have to allow the pop-up.

Now go to your album at photobucket, put your mouse on the pic you want to insert: a little properties screen pops up now.

Click on the lower "img code box" and copy (right mouse click) this img code (see below).




Now go back to your post at HDF.com and put your cursor in the text where you want to insert the image.

Now click the "insert link icon" , paste the img code into the box and click OK (see below)




Preview your post and check if the picture is not to large.

Here's how to add an images to your Avatar:

Before you start select an image you want to use and be sure it's size

does not exceed 150 by 150 pixels or 1,91 MB (whichever is smaller).

I use MS Paint to check these numbers and to re-size the image of needed.

Click "User CP" and "Edit Avatar" (see image below):





Click "Use Custom Avatar" checkbox, click "Browse" to find the image

on your computer, select the image and click "Open" (see image below):





Now click "Save Changes" and check the result in your User CP (see image below):
