How to Start a Thread and Post Pictures

[Wikidbchofthewst]

I'm making this post after reading a "how do I start a new thread?" question for the millionth time. I kinda meant it as a joke, but who knows, maybe it'll help someone.

Ok, so, starting at the RIU homepage....



Pick the forum that your thread should go in. We're picking Newbie Central.

Click the New Thread button at the top left.

Screw it, while I'm at it I'll cover how to post pics, lol. Either click the Manage Attachments button, or if you have the photos on the web like photobucket, just post the link between the "[IMG] [/IMG]" tags in your post. These pics will show up IN the post, like the example pics I'm using.


When you click the Manage Attachments button, a new window like this should come up. You can either upload the pics from your computer, or you can upload them from a URL. These pics will appear as thumbnails at the buttom of your post that people can click on to enlarge.

Once you're done you can Preview Post to make sure it looks right. Then Submit New Thread and let's smoke!

You are not alone atom, I posted her instruction again in the new member thread, next newbie was a new page, he posted four times in like 20 minutes, his last post asked how to make a thread. I think this is the most commonly asked question. VV

To quote someones post you just click on quote the little box on the right hand side bottom of the post.

To place quote marks around something else you have to be in the advanced mode, then you highlight it an click on the little comic dialog box fourth from the right top of the text box.

Preview your post, you will see how it looks. VV
