To reduce the amount of threads that ask how to display an image in a post, or how to change one's font color, and et cetera, I've made this thread, which will fufill the purpose of informing the new members the basics of basic HTML Coding.

Question 1: How do I post an image?

First, find the image or link to the image you like. Right-Click it and click "Properties", located at the bottom of the sub-menu. Look for the words "Address (URL)". The text beside it is the URL of the picture (Example: http://mortalkombatonline.com/lv6/themes/Frost/emoticons/smile.gif). Highlight the whole URL, right click it, and click "Copy".

Return to the thread in which you wish to post the image in (If you want to post it in your sig space, go to the Settings page). Type this in the desired text space:

<img src="">

Right-Click in between the quotation marks, and click "Paste". Upon doing so, the image should appear.

Question 2: The picture is in my Hard Drive. What do I do?

Visit a free site host, such as Sharemation. I'll use Sharemation as an example, as that's what I use to host my pictures. Follow the link posted above to go to Sharemation. Then click "New users register here". Register, and go check your e-mail address for confirmation and activation of your account. After activating your account, sign in at Sharemation. The FIRST thing you should do (Very important), is to click that image of a hand holding a piece of paper with a globe on it. It's right at the top of the screen, beside the words "Directory: /".

Click "Change" at the bottom of the page, and look under the "Read" column. Turn "Users with accounts" off by selecting "No", and turn "Public" on by selecting "Yes". This will allow everybody to see your pictures, and more importantly, without the Sharemation prompt (It asks for a username and password) popping up everywhere your picture is posted. After this, select "Apply changed settings to sub-directories and files", and click "Apply Now".

The screen should load back to your main directory. Now, click "Upload" at the very top of the screen. After the page loads, click "Browse". Find the picture, and double-click it. Click "OK". The file will upload, and your main directory screen will appear, with your image in it. Now your image is on an online host. Go back to Question 1 and follow the instructions from there. Be careful of what you use as icons and sigs, you don't want to have questionable material that breaks the rules in the MKOnline Kommunity FAQ.

Question 3: How do I create a link?

Simple. Type this:

<a href="">

Put in the URL of the item you wish to link to in between the quotation marks. After the ">" symbol, type in what word you want to be used as a medium that links this page and the item you wish to link to. For example:

<a href="http://www.mortalkombatonline.com/content/kom/faq.cds"> This is where you type the medium in. The medium could also be an image.

After typing in the medium, type this:

</a>

After doing all the steps, it should look like this:

<a href="http://www.mortalkombatonline.com/content/kom/faq.cds">This is where you type the medium in. The medium could also be an image./a>

This is how the link will look like to everyone else after you post it:

This is where you type the medium in. The medium could also be an image.

Simple.
Note: Remember that linking to other sites is forbidden in MKOnline, so contain links to sites in your signatures.

Any other questions should be asked and contained in this thread, so as not to pollute the forums with repeated questions addressing these things. As more questions are asked, I will do my best to answer them as soon as possible.
