OK, so you have a SQ and now you want to show off your new ride? Here is how you upload pictures from your computer to a site, I'm using Photobucket (http://photobucket.com), and then using the site to host the images post your pictures on SQC.

Step #1:
Starting in your Photobucket album you can see the "Upload" tab. Left click this tab.



Step #2:
Now you can see options for uploading pictures and videos. You can drag and drop files, or, browse files. I will be browsing files. Left click on the "browse files" button.



Step #3:
Now you can select the pictures you want to upload to Photobucket. Select the pictures and left click "Open". This will begin the upload.



Step #4:
Once the upload is finished you will see the upload success screen. You should now left click the blue "View Library" button. This will take you back to your album view where you can see the new picture.  



Step #5:
Now you can either hover the mouse pointer over the "gear icon" in the top right of the picture and the link and tag options will appear, or, you can double click on the picture and you will come to a single picture view where your options are easier to understand. You will want to use the IMG code option on the right side of the screen, left click on the text in the IMG code box. This will copy the IMG code.





Step #6:
Now you can start a new topic on Star Quest Club. Right click on the text box (or ctrl+v) in your new post and select "Paste" this will paste the image code from Photobucket. Now you can add the text part of your post. A good idea at this point is to "Preview Post" to make sure the IMG code works. Assuming that works, you will want to click the "Post New Topic" button under the text box.




Step #7:
Now you should see this



Step #8:
Continue to post pictures on SQC.
