Newbie here... I can't seem to find out how you post images/pics/charts to your posts...
If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be much appreciative...
Thanks!

You do it the same as you do for quotes, except you use "img" instead of "quote".
If you see a picture you like in a website, right click on it and select "view image" and you will get a link to that image only, which you can paste into a post.

In true form to this forum, someone actually provided a helpful explanation instead of a smart*ss response to the effect of...... "Let me google that for you"

I see all these great graphics posted by everyone and I have figured out how to post images from websites but I still don't see how to post a chart that I generated with EXCEL on my own computer...
Any insights?
Thanks

It's a pain in the butt, but here's what I do:
- take a "print screen" of your excel graph
- paste into the Paint program
- crop the excel graph
- save as a jpeg
- upload to
http://tinypic.com/
- then copy the link it provides into a ['img][/'img] in the dialogue box
I'm sure there are more elegant methods, and would be interested to hear what others do.

I'm actually pretty sure this is the best way, and it's what I do too (I'm a software engineer by day).

I agree, except that JPEG is great for photographs, but may not be the best format for a graph. PNG or GIF might work better.
