How do you attach a picture in the body of the message? Not attaching the link, so everyone has to click on it.

First thing is you must have your image hosted somewhere on the internet.. This can be ***boatimage center or elsewhere, doesn't matter. What you can't do is have it on you own computer and have it appear in a thread.
Assuming you done the above...
Bring the image up on screen wherever you have it hosted (we'll assume ***boat image center for now).
Right click on the image
A drop down menu will appear at the bottom will be properties
Click on properties.
A window will popup showing information on the photo.
One of the thing will be the URL address which starts with http....
Highlight the address (starting with the http) with your cursor
Go do edit on your tool bar (edit) and click "copy" (this copys the address you just highlighted to the clipboard on your computer)
Now go to the thread you want to post in (a second window open is handy for this)
When you post you will see a series of buttons at the top of the posting window.
Click on IMG.
A separate window will pop up that will have http.... in it. The http... will be highlighted. Hit delete. Now the box will be blank.
Now go to your tool bar again (edit) and click on "paste".
This pastes the address of the picture (which you copied earlier) into the little window.
Click done or whatever it says to complete. You will now see the image address code appear within your posting window.
Its important you only have one http series within your IMG tags which is the reason we hit delete above. Otherwise you end up with two and it won't work.
When finished your code should look something like this (with no spaces) and substituting [ ] for my ( ).
(IMG]http://yourpictureaddress[/IMG)
You can type message above or below the IMG tags but don't disturb them or anything between them because that is your picture address code.

I have a question, where do you go on hot boat to upload? I think I found it once, but they wanted money from me..

You go to the image center from the home page... you will have to register in the image center to upload photos... Then follow FM instructions above.

From ***boat.net, got to the image center. You will have to register, but it's free. Then just sign on, and you will see an area to upload pictures. :D

because ***boat has so many users they do not alow hotlinking. which means you cant post a picture hosted on ***boat on any other site or boards. if you need to post a picture on any other site or boards use www.hotboatpics.com site. i alow hotlinking to other sites including ***boat. you need to red in the picture section and use a real e-mail address because the system sends you a confermation e-mail you must respont to to be reg. we never give your e-mail address to anyone.

Heres a couple of shortcuts to simplify posting images .
after uploading your pic to ***boat image center .
rightclick the image / select properties/ leftclick and highlight the URL / rightclick the URL you just highlit and select copy/ go back to your message that your posting and click the IMG tab once that window is open press shift and insert on your keyboard at the same time . VIOLA .
Who loves ya baby ? :p
