How do you post pictures on the boards,such as personal pictures.What would be the URL of a personal pic,or where to find the URL.

If your picture is online somewhere, and you're using Windows (I have no idea how it works with other systems) then you right click on the picture and select Properties. A dialog box will show up, and there will be a line that says Address or URL followed by what looks like a web address. Copy that address. Then you need to click on the forum button that looks like a picture frame (it's right below the Italics button on the standard board background), and this will show up (without the " "):

["img"]["/img"]

Paste the address between the brackets, like so:

["img"]http://i815.photobucket.com/albums/zz80/jsalstad/th_downsized_05090916311.jpg["/img"]

When you remove the " ", that will show up like this:

A good site for hosting pictures (that I've used) is photobucket.com. Facebook also works, but I've had issues before with links not working anymore when I post Facebook pictures. I'm sure there are other options as well.

Be warned, however, posting pictures needlessly (like tons of pointless pictures at a time) is annoying, and will likely get you warned. Posting offensive pictures is likely to get you banned. So use the privilege, but do not abuse it.

Yeah. It's an old water tower that was built on the highest natural point in Minneapolis. It's called the Witch Hat Tower. Now that you mention it though, I can see how you could get an afro out of it.

I don't get how you guys can see a guy with an afro or a doctor out of that picture.

I'm 99% sure I'm 101% insane. Which is where the 1% from my 100% went.

Well considering it has windows, I don't think I ever would have guessed it to be a water tower, but I always did think it was a tower of some sort (something likely to do with Fortress Alstad :dunno:).

Nope. It was just a cool picture (or so I thought) looking up at a Minneapolis landmark. My girlfriend (now fiancee) and I went up to the hill it is on (unfortunately people aren't allowed to climb up the tower). It was a pretty awesome view of the Minneapolis skyline from there.
