Since the attachment function is no longer working in the new RCOnline Forum here's a tutorial on how to post Links and graphics in the forums.

1) POSTING LINKS

To post a link just write the text of your post and then use this format to post the link
<A HREF="[your url locator for the link]">whatever you want the underlined link to say</A>

example:

<A HREF="http://www.RCOnline.com">Click here to go to the RCOnline site</A>

will post this link:

Click here to go to the RCOnline site
 

2) POSTING GRAPHICS

To post a graphic you first need to place the graphic in a web page or FTP area in a server of your choice in the internet.
There are several places where you can get space to place a webpage for free.
As an example let's use freeservers.

Go to the freeservers webpage and register for a new webpage space by clicking in the register link

That will take you to the register screen. Once you register you'll receive the confirmation by e-mail and then you can login into your newly created website by using FTP.

Let's assume you used the name "yourwebsite" for the creation. That means your new website is yourwebsite.freeservers.com

Using Internet explorer you can login by typing:

Ftp://yourwebsite.freeservers.com@yourwebsite.freeservers.com

When you try to login it will ask for a password

Once you login you'll be able to upload graphics into your site by dragging and dropping the gif or jpg file into the ftp window.

 

For intance the vigorsetup.jpg picture can be seen by typing:

Http://yourwebsite.freeservers.com/vigorsetup.jpg

the line: "http://yourwebsite.freeservers.com/vigorsetup.jpg" is the one you need to post in the forums.

 

CAPTURING AN IMAGE FOR UPLOADING

To capture an image you want to upload you need a screen capture program like Snapshot or something similar.
Download Snapshot You can find several screen capture programs at www.Shareware.com
Once you captured the image and saved it in GIF or JPG format then you can just drag and drip it into the ftp window for uploading it into your website.

 

Copy the URL locator. In this case "http://yourwebsite.freeservers.com/vigorsetup.jpg"

That will be the URL locator used when posting a graphic.

Now use the locator to post the graphic using this format:

<IMG SRC="[URL locator of the graphic]" BORDER="0">

in this case it would be:

<IMG SRC="http://yourwebsite.freeservers.com/vigorsetup.jpg" BORDER="0">

That's all.

Hope this helps bring more lively posts into the forums.
