____________________________________________________
In the forums, posting photographs is generally allowed, however it requires you to do one of two things.
Option 1. "Attach File": This option allows you to attach an image from your computer into the bottom of your post.
You are allowed only one picture per post.
In Lieu of, I recommend the following:
Option 2. "IMG tag": This option allows you to link images that are hosted or saved on a remote server and post multiple images at once.
You do need to link each image at a time, using the web address that it is located at.
The "IMG" tag is located in the VB code area (see picture, linked by the way)
Click on the IMG tag and a JavaScript window pops up (see picture)
Here you enter in your address, preferably using the Copy (ctrl-C) and Paste (ctrl-V) method to link your address.
Make sure not to double up on the defaulted "Http://" Now, hit enter and you will see text that looks like:
Once you complete your post, your image(s) will load from the remote location. If you see the text instead, you may have mangled the link or process, so give it another try.
OR
If you are using a Site such as [url]www.photobucket.com[/url] that provides the IMG tag address ready to go (see picture) then simply Copy (ctrl-C) and Paste (ctrl-V) the address directly into the text area, bypassing the IMG tag button as described above.

Posting pictures in the Gallery:
The gallery is a place you can post as many images as you like up to a total quantity of 4,024 kb. This is the place to share your Subaru pictures.
Each user has their own gallery. To post pictures into the gallery, first select the gallery (see picture)
Then, select "Upload Photos" on the upper right side of your screen.
A new screen will show, indication a button called "browse". Press the browse button and locate the image you want on your harddrive.
If you did not remember to save your image somewhere that you can remember, hit yourself over the head. My photos on the harddrive are saved in a folder that looks something like c://user/my documents/my pictures/Subaru .
Now, enter in the rest of the information about "when, where, etc." and press "Upload/Submit" at the very bottom.
The image should be uploaded and available for viewing right away. For multiple image uploads, simply repeat.
After clicking "My Gallery" from within the Gallery area, you can get neat-o information about each of your images. (see picture)
In the event you run out of space in your gallery, delete your lamest pictures and then upload your latest masterpiece.
Notes:
- Please note in your thread title if you have a large quantity of images.
- Please abide by www.subaruoutback.org rules regarding approved content.
