In order to post a picture to FFCobra.com you will need to you need to store the photo somewhere on the Internet that anyone has unrestricted access to. A lot of people are using ClubPhoto which is a free service and works great for this purpose. So, the first thing you need to do is go to www.clubphoto.com, and open up an account.

Once you have done that, you are ready to go. Create a new album and upload the photo(s) that you want to post on the forum. The tricky part is finding the complete Internet address for each photo, so that the photo will be properly displayed in your post. The easiest way to do this is to go to the album where the photo is located, and click on the that you want:

Click on a photo and the photo will open in a new page, which should look like this:

To get to the complete Internet address, right click on the picture, and select "Properties".  

You will now see the complete address for where this photo is located.

In the example above, the address that we are after is:

http://a8.cpimg.com/image/AC/CB/2760108-81e1-02000155-.jpg

You need to copy this address and paste into your post. There are a couple of ways to do it. The easiest way is to click on the address with your mouse and drag the whole address. The whole line should turn blue. Then either right click and select "copy" from the pop up menu, or use the CTRL key and at the same time the "C" key on the keyboard. Either way, the address will be copied into your computer's memory.

Either start a new post or reply to an existing one. Once you get to the point where you want to display your photo, click on the IMAGE button which you should find at the bottom of the page. A small window should pop up, with the instructions Enter the complete URL for the image you wish to display. This is where you paste the address that you have captured from the steps above. They have already started the http:// for you, but all you need to do is use CTRL and at the same time the "V" key to paste the address - it should over write it, but make sure you do not have two "http://"   If it didn't work, you probably did not copy the address correctly. Again you should see something like http://a8.cpimg.com/image/AC/CB/2760108-81e1-02000155-.jpg on that line. When your satisfied, hit the ok button and you should be done.
