You can directly upload a photo.

First, click on the "clipboard" icon. It’s the third one from the right at the top. (Click on the image below for an illustration)

Then, click on [Upload attachment] that will appear under the text input window (and under the smilies if the smilies are ON)

You'll have the options:
"Insert: Thumbnail Small Medium Large Fullsize Remove" The Fullsize option is usually best for most viewers.
PLEASE DON'T USE THE THUMBNAIL OPTION

This procedure will insert your photo directly into the thread.

Please remember that the only file types allowed are jpg, jpeg, png and gif.

For the Unregistered users (or anybody else, for that matter) who aren't allowed to upload images due to what seems a software glitch, in addition to the option of sending their .jpg images to one of the site administrators listed on the Home page, an easier and more direct method is available.

They can use one of the free image posting services on the Web, like Postimage.org or Freeimage.host.
Postimage.org is particularly easy to use, you don’t need an account and it provides options to resize the images for you. Please don't post images that are more than 800 pixels wide.



Once you have dragged and dropped your images onto their Home page, a list of Web addresses for them will appear. Copy the "Direct Link" address(es) and paste them into your Turkotek posting, adding [img] before and [/img] after each Direct Link image address.

When you click on "Preview Post" on the page below the text box, your images should appear where you have positioned them in your post.

If, for some reason you are unable to get the images to appear, feel free to contact an administrator who can insert the images into our server and send you instructions on inserting them into your post.
