Hello!
I'd like to ask the probably dumb question: how can I insert picture reference into the forum topic? Is there the special bbcode or html tags?

Thank you, in advance
Andrejs.

Andrejs,
I assume you mean an image that is not in a portfolio, since the process is slightly different and you have no images in your port YET!~
It is quite simple. Select your image, and make a copy with the size no bigger than 256 KB. I can be a gif or a jpg, if a gif do a save for the web if using PS.
Then if you scroll down as you are typing your message you will see the "Browse" button, click on this, locate the downsized image on your hard drive, and select it. Then click on "Submit", simple as that.
If you want to add a second image just press the "Add Attachment" button, new Browse will appear and you find the second image and then hit the submit button. Like this.

Thank you, but I mean photos from the portfolio. Like this:

Image locateв at http://69.90.174.250/photos/display_pic_with_logo/91190/91190,1195495026,1.jpg

That is not my picture - I've copy link location from other thread. Question is: how can I find such links for my photos?

Thank you.

Ah ha! That was interesting, the first time I looked it appeared you had no images now it does! Kinda weird?

Anyway there are several way to get to them. For Example, just click on the images in gallery button on your page, it will take you to your portfilio. Then right click on a image, a new page appears, the one a buyer would see. Then left click on the image, click on properties, and new window appears with the link for the image. Copy the link down (just high light it and hit ctrl C).
Then go to you post and do what you did with the other image. img-paste-img-submit

The best way to learn the different ways of posting an image in the forums is to look in the thread that was created just for this purpose. For many questions that are asked many times specific threads are made so people can just open them up and read them. The thread for this is just above yours in the Question and Answers forum. For other basic questions check out the FAQ page and you can also search the forums for all types of answers. Here is the link.
