Posting photos to your message is really quite easy and fun to do!
General Info:
1) The picture has to already be hosted on the web in order to appear in your message, you can not upload photos to TER. The host location can be your personal web site, excort mall ad, or an image hosting site like photbucket or imagecoast.
2) Only jpg, gif and bmp images can be linked to TER.
3) Only one image can be posted per message.
4) It both a picture URL and a link URL are entered, the picture becomes a hotlink.
How to post a picture link:
1) Right-click on the image you want to post and locate its URL by:
a) If you are using Internet Explorer, click on "Properties." In the Properties window, you will see a string of text beginning with "http//" and ending in ".jpg" (it will likely wrap around 2 or more lines). Select and copy the entire string.
or
b) If you are using Firefox, Safari or Opera, click on the option to "Copy Image Location/Address", the entire address will then be copied into your clipboard.
2) Paste what has been copied in the "picture URL" in the "Post Message" form. Be sure to either delete the "http://" that is in the box, or paste over it. What you end up with should look something like this: http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p428/newbieboardmod/faq-2.jpg.
Other Information:
1) If the picture is changed on the hos site, it will also change wherever it is linked.
2) If the picture is removed from the host, or the host site is down, the picture link will not work.
3) Not all image host sites allow photos to be linked to TER.

Hello,
I have tried and tried several times to post a picture. Ive used different browsers, and I still cannot get an image address that ends with .jpg or .png. All addresses that I am able to copy from my photo all DO NOT end in those file types. Please help!
This is the URL: https://i.huffpost.com/gen/1492252/original.jpg
I paste that into the "Picture URL [ ] " box like this:
Picture URL [ https://i.huffpost.com/gen/1492252/original.jpg ]
and hit Post Message.
How about this ...
.
This is the link for one of your photos from your website:
https://img1.wsimg.com/isteam/ip/88bf89e2-95ce-4a5b-be94-4853349229cd/DSC_4996_postGIMP.jpg/:/cr=t:26.57%25,l:0%25,w:100%25,h:55.56%25/rs=w:1200,h:600,cg:true
TER will reject that because it doesn't END with gif, jpeg, png, or jpg.
.
The trailing stuff, /:/cr=t:26.57%25,l:0%25,w:100%25,h:55.56%25/rs=w:1200,h:600,cg:true I think has to do with the size or other properties of the image. Sometimes, it's needed; sometimes, not.
.
If you delete the gobbledygook after the jpg you get this:
https://img1.wsimg.com/isteam/ip/88bf89e2-95ce-4a5b-be94-4853349229cd/DSC_4996_postGIMP.jpg
Sometimes that will work; sometimes not.
.
Now I will paste that into the "Picture URL
[ https://img1.wsimg.com/isteam/ip/88bf89e2-95ce-4a5b-be94-4853349229cd/DSC_4996_postGIMP.jpg ] "
box and hit Post Message:
