How to insert pictures?
May 27th, 2013 at 7:56am
 
Is this the rule that I'm not allowed to post messages containing active links to websites or images before I have posted 3 normal messages. What's mean by 'normal' message? 
Also, can I just insert a photo?  how to use the 'insert' icon above, like FTP Link, images?  Many thanks.

It just means you need to post on the forum at least 3 times before you can post links.

The forum no longer accepts image uploads so you will need to upload your files somewhere else and link to it on your post.

Some free services you can use to upload images are

Anonymous upload:

Sign up for an account:
http://www.flickr.com
http://www.google.com/photos/
http://www.dropbox.com

There are many others but the above are the more popular services.

Can you explain the rationale behind having three posts before posting a photo?

It stops spam bots from posting images on each visit.
