There are two kinds of message boards...
1: Boards that use UBB code.
2: Boards that use HTML code.
Don't understand what those are? No problem I'll walk you through it and make it
as easy as possible. I find that UBB code is most common so we'll start with that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UBB code + basics
UBB code is a simplified version of complex HTML that is very user-friendly.
Here's the code for inserting an image...
[image] url here [/image]
To find the url of an image, simply right click on it and select "Properties".
Now find the section named either Address, URL, or Location and look for
a line that starts with http://. That's the url of the image.
For example, the url of this image....
is http://www.ifthineenemyhunger.com/banners/JUCIFER_banner.gif
Try it out yourself and look for that url. ^
Once you've found the url of the desired image, take the cursor and highlight
that text, then right click and copy it.
Now your ready to paste the url into the image code, which would end up
looking like this...
[image]http://www.ifthineenemyhunger.com/banners/JUCIFER_banner.gif[/image]
If you would like to link the banner to yahoo.com then the code would look like this...
[url=http://www.yahoo.com][image]http://www.ifthineenemyhunger.com/banners/JUCIFER_banner.gif[/image][/url]
Feel free to just copy the above code and paste it into message boards,
then change the link (http://www.yahoo.com)
and the image url to whatever you want.
The best thing to do is put one in the signature of your profile on forums. Some boards however
have a limit on how many characters your allowed and these may not fit, if this is the case you
can always just paste it at the end of all your posts.
*Note: Some Boards may have different tags for images, such as [img] instead of [image].
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HTML code
HTML code is the backbone of all webpages, it works in the exact same manner as UBB code
for Message Boards, only the code is a little different.
For example, if you wanted to post this same image...
on a forum that only allows HTML code, it would look like this...
<img src="http://www.ifthineenemyhunger.com/banners/JUCIFER_banner.gif">
and if you wanted to link it to yahoo.com it would look like this...
