This is what you should do if you want to insert pictures of your career in one of your forum posts:

Step One –

You need to get a picture, so of you might ask how do I get a screenshot from the game? Well it’s simple you press ALT + F9 and a screenshot will be done. Now you might be asking where my screenshot is and well it’s simple, it will end up here;

“My Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2012 > Screenshots” (Automatically made once pressed ALT + F9)

You can then edit your screenshot to your desire.

Step Two –

Once you have edited your screenshot to your desire you would then need to upload the image to an HIS (Image hosting Service) such as ‘http://imageshack.us/’ ‘http://photobucket.com/’ and ‘http://tinypic.com/’ although there is many more around these are the three main ones around.

I shall be using ‘http://imageshack.us/’ for this tutorial as I feel it is the best one around, this service is free but it will not allow you to use all of their features unless a member which I do recommend as it doesn’t take long at all.

Step Three –

Once you have done the first two steps you will then need to upload the image to that specific host, to do this you shall need to click on “Browse” once the window has popped up locate your Screenshot folder which can be located via “My Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2012 > Screenshots”. Once you have chose your desired picture just click on the “Open” button and that will take you back to the main page. If you have managed to do all this so far you are not far from completing your goal. You will need to click on “Upload now” doing so 'http://imageshack.us/’ is uploading that picture to the server.

Step Four -

Once you have clicked “Upload” you will be re-directed to a new page, here is the important bit! You are handed the choice of six different options (Links) with them being “Link” “Direct Link” “Widget Code” “Forum Code” “Alt Forum Code” “HTML Code” out of the six only one is important to you and that is “Direct Link” click on the box to highlight the link and you can either press CTRL + C or right click and click on “copy”

Step Five -

You are now 90% there; all you have to do is click on “Centered” and “Insert Image” once you have pressed them all you need to do is insert that link you copied from Step Four “Direct Link” in between http://[/b] and [b] if you have managed to do so click on “preview” and you have finished and managed to get a picture into your post with no problems.

You can use a free program called PicPick then you can just take a picture in game of what you like a player for example and it opens up in that program then you can edit or re-size it and save it to where ever you like I find that the quickest and the easiest way. :)
