Add photos to your post
There are two main options that members may use when adding photos to their forum posts.
- Attachments
Add attachments to your forum posts by pressing the paperclip button viewable in the image below. If your chosen interface does not show the paperclip, use the 'manage attachments' button located below the post window. Once your attachment(s) have been uploaded, you can place them within your post using the paperclip button. If you don't place the attachments within your post, they will automatically be added to the bottom of your message. Each Member receives attachment space that is manageable from their control panel.

- External Images
Any photo that is not an attachment is an external image. It is very common for members to use this option by linking images from the Chameleon Gallery or from external sites such as photobucket. To add an external image to your post, use the mountain icon shown in the image below and enter the url of the image you would like to add.

Add video to your post
Due to the space required, the Chameleon Forums will not be adding internal video until a server move is made later down the road. However, appropriate video may be added to posts using youtube or google video. This is very similar to how external images are used, except there are no special icons like there are for external images and attachments.
- You Tube
To post a youtube movie, you will need to know the movie ID. An example url from youtube is below; notice the movie ID in red.
