Please read - Avoid duplicate pictures
When replying to a post that has pictures embedded in it, it is best not to copy the pictures into your post. This results in duplicate pictures in the thread which is unnecessary and slows browsing down. Just delete all the picture code between the quote labels but leave any text comment as a reference.
You can always preview before posting to check edits are correct.
This obviously also applies to any embedded videos.

EDIT: Most of you already do this but some people don't.

It helps just to put a "*" in the image code, such as [img]Image goes here[/*img].

GAME OVER YEEEEAAAAAAAH!

Below is a screenshot of the "post new reply screen", containing some image code (which I nicked borrowed from one of Bunna's posts somewhere else on the forum), which I have circled clumsily daubed around for clarity's sake.

Also included is the image itself, 'cos it's a cool image and well worth a re-post.Big Grin

[Image: predator.jpg]

A good rule of thumb is that when you're replying to a specific post and see the quoted text above where you type your reply, delete anything which falls between these two tags [img] & [/img*] and of course, the tags themselves. It only takes a second to do and can greatly increase the loading speed of a page, particularly for those with slow machines and/or slow connection speeds.Smile

RE: Please read - Avoid duplicate pictures
I'm seeing more posts which are including duplication.
So I thought that I'd reopen this thread which explains how you should post if you want to include previously posted pics, caps and vids.

If I want to reply to the previous post/s I alway use the ^

Or just reply to the post and remove the image details and replace with a [snip]
