Step by Step How to put pictures on the 80-90 forum First go to Misc tips and tricks editing pictures to upload to prepare your image for upload.
PLEASE dont link a picture uploaded straight from your camera it will most likely be HUGE and will generally annoy people. Follow the suggestions in the above link to reduce it t to a manageable size. Muchos will not permit file sizes of over 70KB on the free version.
Registering with Muchos
now go to http://www.muchos.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - See note below !!
click on 'register now' button
fill in the details
and click submit
now check email address you gave in the form
after a few minutes you should receive an email containing a link to click to activate your account
click the link then after the muchos page opens your account is ready to log in.
Posting pictures
click on the image upload button
then click on the browse button
find the image that you reduced in size in the Misc tips and tricks editing pictures to upload page
select the image file in the the window that pops up and click on the open button.
the click the "click here to upload button"
click on the "Show messageboard codes for this image" on the new page that opens
on the next page scroll down to find find the box that has "Muchos messageboard and Invision Power Board"
click on the button to "copy to clipboard button" (note this doesn't work with the Firefox browser so you'll need to select the text and right click/copy)
THE text you are copying will look something like this Image
now go to the message on the club 80-90 forum you want to add the picture to and paste this text into the body of it.
when you click save your picture will be shown in the messsage
Job done, you clever IT Guru you.

Just to the right of your picture is a list called 'Links'. Left click on the one that says 'IMG code' and the word "copied" will briefly appear. Then just paste the link into your 80-90 post and the picture will appear on the forum. Simples!!
