Deb - two members have contributed instructions on how to insert chart images into posts, so I've included them both in this thread - thanks for adding this info!

From Tanit33:
----------------
HOW TO POST A CHART:
1. Go to www.astro.com/ to create a free astrology chart
2. Save the chart to your desktop as an image file
3. Upload the image file using TinyPic's website defaults: www.tinypic.com/:
a.) Click the "Browse" button to locate the image file on your desktop
b.) Don't change any of the settings, just click "Upload Now"
4. From there you can do one of two things:
a.) Post the chart directly into the forum: copy/past the link from "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards"
b.) Post a link to the chart in the forum: copy/paste the link from "Direct Link for Layouts"

Hi all,

Seems that some of the members are having problem inserting chart here so I decide to give guide how you can insert chart in your post.

First, save your charts within 600 pixels in width so it can fit Forum width without scrolling.

There are several ways to insert chart but try this one.

Go to www.imageshack.us (or any other free imagehost you like) and follow the steps as below.

First, look at the row where the Browse button is. You can find an option of "Image" and "Url."
If you have chart on your computer, select "Image" and click "browse" to upload it. Than click "host it". Click and see picture below.




But if you have chart on your website or other online server, you have to change the option to "url", type in the url of your image and than "host it".

Once the file is uploaded, a new page will load as below. Click on image.



In section "Action" click on "Get code for forums"

After you copy that text , paste it in your post!

And beleive me, this is sure way that you will get faster response to your post!
