If you have a website of your own and it's not a free server like Tripod or Angelfire (which do not allow you to link to pictures from another site) skip this and
CLICK HERE
Please note that you must have JavaScript active for Network54 to function properly. Network54 does not support picture names with anything besides letters and numbers in the name.
For example picture10.jpg will work picture#10.jpg or picture 10.jpg will not. (spaces are a big no-no). Dashes and underscores are the exception and there may be others, but try to stick to letters and numbers.
If you need image editing software, you can try a free download of Paint Shop Pro at

There are 2 ways to do it if you don't have a
website: Version 1: Temporary pics.
*Note*
These pics are supposed to last for a week and then
get deleted by the server. Sometimes they don't delete them after a week and you
have no option to delete them yourself. For this reason, I recommend skipping
this and going to:
Version 2
Login to Network54. You can do this at http://www.network54.com/ If you click on that link, a new window will open so you can continue to follow the directions here by switching back and forth.
Make sure you go completely through the login procedure. You must enter your name and password to do this. If you do not have an account, create one.
Now, go to whichever board you want to post your picture on and hit "POST"
You'll notice the posting page has changed, there will be an option to insert pictures. Click on the little yellow box that looks like a mountain with a sunset.
Upload your picture into the temp folder (If you need more instructions on how to do this,
and I'll do my best to help you. Make sure your files are smaller than 100K in size. The best way to do this is make sure they are 640X480 or smaller and use JPGs instead of GIFs. JPGs are better quality and they are a smaller file size than the same sized GIF image. The exception to this is any animated file, which needs to be in GIF format.
After you have uploaded your file, you can insert it in the post. This picture will have a limited shelf life and you have a limit as to how many you can store at any given time.

Create a permanent login. Make sure you choose the WYSIWYG posting feature during the login creation process (you'll know it when you see it). This allows you to post pictures just by copy-and-paste, and it also allows the link to be displayed if your pics don't show due to your server not allowing Hot-linking. Also, choose the monthly reminder and reset feature. I don't know why, but using any other settings seems to screw things up.
Create a realm (you'll see it when you get there, trust me).
Upload your pictures into your realm, not the temporary folder. These pictures will remain in this folder until you delete them. You have a limit to how much space you can use, but it's more than the temp folder. Make sure your files are smaller than 100K in size. The best way to do this is make sure they are 640X480 or smaller and use JPGs instead of GIFs. JPGs are better quality and they are a smaller file size than the same sized GIF image. The exception to this is any animated file, which needs to be in GIF format.
Post as normal, you will see a completely different set of posting options now. There will be a picture button, font and formatting buttons, etc. You will also be logged in whenever you go to a Network54 website. No more typing in your name and e-mail address each time you post a message.
One note on the permanent login. If you notice you need to enter your name and e-mail address when you post, it's time to login again. This should be about once a month if you choose that setting. If you choose any other setting, it appears to be a random time that the login stops working. You need to go to the Network54 home page to login again. It takes about 2 seconds to do it.

Go to the picture on your website that you want to post and right-click it. Hit "COPY" then come back to the page you are posting on.
In the message box, click where you would like your picture to be and hit CTRL-V on your keyboard. That is the keyboard shortcut for "Paste". You can also right-click anywhere in the text box and hit "Paste".
