Need some help with posting

[BubbleTea]

I'm new here so when I started a post I ran into a problem: pictures. I'm new to this forum thing and I'm seriously stumped on how to insert an image. I'm aware of the insert image button but I don't know how to use it. If someone could plz tell me how to I'd appreciate it.

The Arena doesn't offer image hosting/storage, so you have to provide your own - via a service such as imgur, Facebook, google, etc.  Once you have a web-accessible URL, just stick it in between the (IMG)(/IMG) tags (square brackets for the actual tags, parentheses used here so they'll actually show up.)

You can also use a free image hosting site such as TinyPic.  When you upload your photo the forum code is right there.

 Basically it's [ IMG ] website URL here [  /IMG]

I wouldn't recommend Tinypic - they delete pics at random and they recycle URLs, so sometimes your pic will be replaced with a NSFW or otherwise unsavoury pic :x

I use Imgur, its proven to be fantastic!

If you already have some kind of Yahoo account, you also have a Flickr account - just go to the site and learn how to upload/share.
