Quick tutorial for those who don't know how to post a picture:
First you need a picture, ideally taken from a digital camera, but scanned images will still work.
Save them as jpegs (.jpg) or gifs (.gif).
Do not save them as bitmaps (.bmp), as this format uses about ten times the memory and makes the pages load slowly. Then you need to host the picture. Personally I use
Then, you just need to post a link to the image.
Taking the example of an image on RTWH:
shows up as:
[img] http://rtw.heavengames.com/forums/rtwh.gif[ /img]
shows up as:
[url] http://rtw.heavengames.com/forums/rtwh.gif[ /url]
shows up as:
[url=http://rtw.heavengames.com/forums/rtwh.gif] Picture.[ /url]
I have removed the pictures that Ace linked to that no longer exist. If you want your picture in the gallery (or to change the one that's already there, post it or link to it in the thread. If you want your picture removed, I can do that too.
NB - It is against Heavengames policy to allow anyone under the age of 14 to post personal pictures.
