how to's

how do i move up the ranks
how do i place image please answer

You move up in rank by posting. It just takes a while. If you want to post a pic you have to find a website that will host it. For the URL's to some of these look up "Searching" in this forum. After you get an image host just use the "img="" button in the post reply window. Click on the "Img" button, past the image's URL and click the img button again.[" alt=""/img]

i need a little more detale in instructions please

Do you mean you want to have a pic show up under your name when you post? Or are you asking how to post an image in the body of a forum post?

For the first, you go to the Profile[=http://www.thornvalley.com/commons/forum/profile.php?mode=editprofile]Profile link (usually at the top of the page). Then, scroll down to the Avatar Control Panel section. From there you can upload a small image to use as an avatar, link to an offsite avatar (via it's URL), or choose one from the avatar gallery.

For posting an image in the forum, you must first find a place to upload your image that allows for remote linking. One such service is http://www.imageshack.us. Then, follow the instructions in the BBCode help regarding posting images[=http://www.thornvalley.com/commons/forum/faq.php?mode=bbcode#9]posting images.
