Here's how to post...

A chart or a picture into a post here on IHUB...

You can also add one to your signature (it will show up at the bottom of every post) by clicking on your alias, then clicking on "Edit My Profile" in the top left corner of that page...Then go to the bottom of that page and put your pic into "Message Signature"...

The first step to posting a pic or chart is to save it to your hard drive...Right click on the chart and select "Save Picture As", then put it into a folder you've created in "My Pictures"...

Next, you have to Upload that file to an 'Image Hosting Website'...I use:

http://xs.to/

Which is a 'Free' site that allows 500 files to be stored there...You have to register with them simply by giving your email address, and then activating your account in the email they send you to do that...You cannot delete 'Cookies' from your computer, or you will lose all the files you have stored, and have to begin again...

Once you have uploaded the file to xs.to, scroll down to the bottom of the seven links it gives you for that file named "Direct Link"...Then you 'copy' it by clicking once in that box until the box changes color, and press "Control+C" at the same time on your keyboard...

Then, go to the IHUB Board you want to post the chart on, and select "Post New Message"...

Now this is where it gets tricky...What I'm about to type CANNOT have any spaces like I'm typing here...I have to type it this way or you wouldn't be able to see it...If I did it the right way, all you would see is a white box with a red 'x' in it...

Type this:

[chart ][/chart ]

But close up the space by the two ] next to the t's...

Then put your cursor in the middle between the ][ and 'Paste' the "Direct Link" URL you 'Copied' from xs.to in there...You do that by pressing the 'Control+V' keys at the same time...

Next...you MUST take the "http://" out of what you just pasted in there...

Then try to preview your post...I suggest you test that your chart shows up on the "Test Board" here on IHUB:
