I've had a few questions about how to post pictures here, so here is a quick guide.

In a nutshell:

When posting a new topic or replying to an existing topic, there are file tabs below the box where you type. Click on the one that says Attachments; then click on Add Files; then pick the file you want from your computer (just one); confirm it uploaded by seeing the file name and green check mark; then click Add Files again for each additional picture you want to post (max 10 per post). All pictures will appear at the bottom of your post. If you want to place the picture somewhere within your reply, place the cursor where you want the picture to appear, and click Place Inline.

Here are screen shots of each step:

Thanks for the guide. It was the first thing I searched for.
Maybe it needs to be a pinned / sticky thread?

Hi and welcome to Carpokes! You can post videos as long as they are hosted somewhere else. If you post a link to a youtube video (or most others like Vimeo, etc.) they will embed and play here. If you have a video hosted on a private or lesser known site, you can use the VIDEOPLAYER option above the post entry box. To use that, you just put the URL of the video between the tags created when you hit the VIDEOPLAYER option.

p.s., I'm exploring options for Carpokes-hosted videos, so that may become a possibility in due course...
