Posting Pics:
The Smoke Busters site does not allow space for image storage.
Instead, to post a picture, you must link to an image stored elsewhere on the Internet.
Images can then be pulled into posts by inserting them between the image tags:
[ img]<http address to image here>[ /img].
(all spaces removed)
These tags are automatically inserted when one click on the icon from those listed when composing a post.
Note: Some Internet sites do not allow "Hot Linking" since this indirectly places demands onto their servers and network, slowing them down a degree.
Here's a list of web hosts that you can register with and upload\send your pictures:

Custom Avatar pics:
Many people like to change the image that appears under their username, also known as an Avatar.
This can be accomplished by clicking on the Profile button on the top of the page when logged in.
This will bring you to the "Edit Profile" screen where you can change your Personalized Picture to one of the standard offered or linked to an image hosted elsewhere on the Internet.
To link to your own image, click & place a checkmark into the box for the section entitled: "I have my own pic:" . In the adjacent text box, enter the exact Internet location of the file to be used as the Avatar picure.
Not all pictures appear to one's liking and so you can change the aspect ratio of the picture by changing the values of the Avatar Width and Avatar Height in the text boxes provided. This is very useful for fine tuning an image to appear as intended, eliminating distortion.
