I wanted to share some pics of my first [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) build, but I’m confused as to how I go about uploading the photos. I see the Img button when I go to post a new topic, but I’m unsure as to the steps I take after I press this button. I have the images saved to my computer, and want to share them in a new topic thread ---

You need to find the direct link to the image you want. You can do this by going to sites like Photobucket, imgur, tinypic or right clicking a facebook photo and clicking “open image in new tab” or properties and there’s a url that will end in .jpg (depends on which browser you’re using). That URL is what goes inbetween the IMG tags. Here’s how imgur works as an example: ![image](http://i.imgur.com/6CYQc.png) You can click the IMG button here on the forums and put in the top link, or they have a forum code in the second circle that you can just copy and paste into the post! ---

Thanks man. I posted all the pics from my Facebook page using the img option, but they only show up as a box and you have to right click to open them. Should I have used the url option instead? ---

Uh, probably. I’m not sure what you mean by showing up as a box. But here’s a picture that might help your Facebook troubles. ![image](http://theitechblog.com/media/facebook-private-image.png) You right click, click that, and then you paste the url you copied into the two IMG tags and it should work! ---

I actually ended up signing up for Photobucket and uploaded them. But I do appreciate the help. Thanks man ---
