ImageShack® generates automatic image code for your images. Using this code, you can link to your images in any number of ways. Ranging from embedding your images in your personal website or auction, to hotlinking a series of clickable thumbnails on a message board, ImageShack® is as versatile as it is user-friendly.
In order to use these linking codes, click anywhere inside the code-box to select the code, then press CTRL+C to copy the linking code. The linking code now exists inside your computer's "clipboard" and can be pasted anywhere. Now, you can open your target location(such as a messenger window or a message board post box) and paste your linking code there.
"Thumbnail for Websites" allows you to hotlink clickable thumbnails on HTML-compatible websites, such as your own personal website, livejournal, blogger, etc.
"Thumbnail for forums (1)" allows you to hotlink clickable thumbnails on BBcode-compatible message boards and forums. If your image does not show up after submitting your post, please use "Thumbnail for forums (2)". This occurs because some message boards use different BBcode, and are not compatible with each other.
"Hotlink for forums (1)" allows you to hotlink your original uploaded image on BBcode-compatible message boards and forums. If your image does not show up after submitting your post, please use "Hotlink for forums (2)". This occurs because some message boards use different BBcode, and are not compatible with each other.
"Hotlink for websites" allows you to hotlink your original uploaded image on HTML-compatible websites, such as your own personal website, livejournal, blogger, etc.
"Show image to friends" allows you to send your uploaded image to your friends and family, such as by using AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ, IRC, etc.
"Direct link to image" is the real location of the image on ImageShack's servers. This link is best used for when your message board provides you with a designated field in which to hotlink your avatar, forum picture, or signature image.
