Please visit our friends at https://pimpandhost.com/. They are one of our favorite image hosts.

An image host is a website that stores any images you upload and gives you different sets of codes to share those images. Forums typically use BB-code for forums so it is important you select that type of code and select the size (250 is typical for thumbnail photos) and simply paste it in the large white box before you submit your post. You may add text above and below the image code which will appear as text on top or the bottom of your images.

Let's walk through the steps you'll need to use P&H.

1. You'll see this page when you first go to P&H.



2. I highly recommend you register in order to access all your files and you get some perks too. Registration is free and easy.

3. Once registered your page will look slightly different with a green box at top right which is a drop down menu with all the info about your account and the sign out button.

4. The upload button is also green and to the left of the top bar. Try it a few times and you'll see how easy it is to upload your images. Once you have uploaded images the page will look like the following:



5. Once your images are ready the page will look like this.



6. Wait for the blue progress bars to disappear and then you're ready to copy paste the code. You will see 4 different icons under where it says 'add images'. Select the first one after the white box (place mouse arrow over the icon and it will say 'Get Share Codes for this Album'). The icon looks like this ...



7. You'll see the codes (in a big white box below the size options) after you select the share icon. You want to click on the BB CODE tab. You'll notice the code in the big white box and there is a little copy button on the top right side of the code located within the white box. (There is a copy button above where is says Album Link ... DO NOT USE THIS!) Click the copy button that is right beside the code in the white box to copy the code and then paste the code in your post and submit. (Notice the size choices. Typically 250 is a good thumbnail size. I'm using 500 for these demonstration pics so you can see them clearly without clicking on the picture.
