    There are a couple of ways to post images to the forum.

    Below are instructions to assist you in doing so. Please be aware that ALL images are subject to the Forum Rules. If you have any questions please contact the Forum Staff via PM.

    ----------------------------------------------------

    Option 1: Using the Gallery (Preferred way of adding Arkadia or EU related content)
    1. Open the "GALLERY", from the Forum links at the top of the screen, using a new Tab.
    2. Click "UPLOAD PHOTOS"

    3. Click "CHOOSE FILE" and navigate to the file you want to upload. You can do this multiple times in a single upload.
    4. Give you file(s) a Default name and specify and Keywords you want. If you are uploading more than 1 image at a time, you get the option on a following screen to change the title for each one.
    5. Your image is uploaded to the Gallery. Left Click the the image to make it appear in a new window at full size. Right Click this full sized image and select "COPY IMAGE URL" or whatever the equivalent is in the browser you are using.
    6. If you still have your original post open in a separate window to the Gallery, then click "GO ADVANCED" and then to the 'MANAGE ATTACHMENTS". If you are adding the pics afterwards, click "EDIT" and then "GO ADVANCED" before you can get to 'MANAGE ATTACHMENTS".

    8. Your image should now appear in the bottom left of the "Manage Attachments" window. Select the one you want and click "INSERT INLINE" and then close the Manager.
    9. Put your images where you want them to appear in your post.
    10. Double-click the pictures and a new dialogue box will appear with options for alignment and size for the picture. Choose the ones which are appropriate for your needs and click Ok.
    11. Congratulations, you now have your image(s) in your post.
