How do I post images to the ads and discussion board posts, etc? I found an image hosting site and did place the link in the image url section and it did not post, but, it is definitely 'allowed' on TER by all means. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

it has to be the direct link to the image.
The link has to end in a known image format, such as .jpg .png .bmp

imagecoast.  You upload your pics to the site, which will give them a URL that you can include in your posts.  You can't just copy and paste a pic in a post, unfortunately.

Isn't imgur fairly public?? like Instagram? I don't want my pictures floating around or popping up on some newly submitted page/folder there for random viewing/trading. Are there different levels of privacy there? Thanks all of you.
ps. imagecoast pics havent been posting for me. :/

Okay, so I checked my feedback from the TER moderators and the reason my pics did not post was listed as "appeared to be an ad", when they weren't. Other girls post pics when a discussion board asks ladies to post pics, guys post them as well. What is the difference? I'm not advertising, so I'm not positive I understand how they mean. Is it the site im using for image hosting (imagecoast) or something im saying or where i put the link? Thx a bunch everyone
