Simple questions

[pokaplayer]

Sorry, I'm new to the forum, have a few basic questions and my search thing has been down for a couple days (so if one person would just take the time to reply, that'd be awesome)...

1)Once you have a screenshot on ms paint, how do you insert it into posts?
2) What's the simplest way to post a hand from pokertracker?

Sorry that these questions may be obvious and answered elsewhere...

i havent answer newbie questions in awhile, so here ya go.

1) You need to upload the image onto a web image hosting service like photobucket or imageshack, from there, you will get a link to the picture, and you can use the Image button under the "instant UBB code" down near the bottom.

2)For posting hands, take the hand history, and run it through the convertor at either www.pokerhand.org (http://www.pokerhand.org) or use bisonbisons convertor here. (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi) Most people use bisons convertor.

Either way, both programs spit out a bunch of stuff, copy all of it, and paste it into your post. All prettified.

peace

I did this, but it still just shows up as

Right click the pic and click properties. Then highlight the url. Copy the url. In the post, click image, then paste the url into the space.

Let me try doing that right here....

I think it's because it's a bitmap, isn't it? I have a suspicion you can only post jpeg and gif images. Maybe.
