I've noticed a few people struggling to get their photos up here, so I've made a quick tutorial for posting photos
from an external site such as flickr, photobucket, etc.
It's Flickr in this case.

I hope this helps !
If you still have trouble, PM me and I'll help you through it.


Note: There are two key combo's to be aware of.
Combo means you need to press both keys at the same time.
1) Ctrl-C = copy
2) Ctrl-V = paste

1. Here is a standard Flickr Page.
I would like to post the 'Kanga-huahua' photo (center, row 2) shot on Chi People
__________________________________________________ __________




2. I've clicked the Kanga-huaha photo, and chosen the appropriate size
Below the image note the box the arrow is pointing to: '2. Grab the Photo's URL

__________________________________________________ ___________




3.Highlight the text in this box by putting your cursor in the box and dragging
it - note the entire box has turned blue - you need to highlight ALL of the text

Now that the text is highlighted use the Ctrl-C Key Combo to copy the URL

__________________________________________________ ____________




4. Back At Chi-People, click on the "Insert Image" Icon

__________________________________________________ _____________




5. A pop-up appears. Don't touch the mouse, simply use the Ctrl-V Key Combo to paste the Photo URL into the box

__________________________________________________ _____________



6. The box will appear something like you see below

__________________________________________________ _____________




7.Once you've hit the Enter button, the text will appear on your screen like this

Note at the bottom of the screen there are two buttons "Submit New Thread" and "Preview Post"
Use the "Preview Post" button to see what your photos will look like.
You can make changes and hit the Preview button as many times as you need.
Finally, clicking 'Submit New Thread' will 'publish' your photos.

__________________________________________________ ___________



8. Finally, you, and everyone else, will see your gorgeous pics posted here.
(You will have to provide your own Kanga-huahua ! )

Bandit's mom - Flickr and Photobucket are really the best way to post photos, and they're free sites! Just set up a free account and you're all ready

You are very limited to amount of data you can actually upload to Chi-People directly - I can't even recall the amount or the process.

As Tricia said, Flickr (or photobucket) is free, and it really is the easy way to put your pictures here.
