A question on using the PF forums

AI Thread Summary
To post images on the PF forums, use the tags [img] [ /img] without spaces, which only work in the "PF Lounge" and homework forums. Alternatively, users can upload images as attachments through the "Manage Attachments" option, but these must be approved by a mentor before they are visible to others. A variety of attachment formats are supported to accommodate different posting needs. For a complete list of available "vB codes" for formatting, users can refer to the link provided at the bottom left corner of the posting interface. Understanding these methods will enhance the posting experience on the forums.

I'm not sure if this is where I post this, I'm kind of new here. But how do you put images in your posts?
I tried normal HTML but that didn't work at all.

The tags are [ img ] [ /img ] without the spaces. Image tags only work in certain forums though, I think.
 
You can also upload images from your computer as attachments.

Go advanced --> additional options: manage attachments
 
As far as I know, the image tags only work in the forums that are listed as "PF Lounge." For the more serious forums, use the method of including an attachment that Gokul mentioned. We support a wide variety of attachment formats that should suit the needs of anyone posting in the main forums. Note that attachments need to be approved by a mentor before they will appear to others, so be patient for us to get to it if you don't see it show up right away.

Image tags also work in the homework forums.
 
For a list of all the "vB codes" (the HTML-like tags that you can use for links, images, formatting, etc.), see

There's a link to this at the bottom left corner of the page when you compose or edit a posting.
