You need to find a 'host' for your picture first - somewhere to upload it to.

I usually use imageshack - here

link to imageshack

When you have uploaded it to the host you will be given a link to the internet address of your picture - all you do then is copy the link and paste it into the post you have written - click 'preview post' first to check it's worked and away you go!

You will get a big long list of links to use - the best for this forum seems to be the first one offered for 'forums' - just copy and paste the link directly - don't be clicking the add image icons this site offers as the correct code is already written into the link imageshack give you.

This is a free site and you don't need to subscribe either if you don't want. Imageshack will even re-size images for you at the same time.

Okay - your turn - lets see some of your piccys then!

Here's an example;

The link I pasted to show that pic looks like this (I have removed "[ "and "]" from the ends or you would just get the picture again)

Or you can use the site that I use

www.photobucket.com

you'll need to make an account first but after that you can save and store images and then do whatever you want with them. Hope this helps

Photobucket is better and more user friendly in my opinion = but personal choice I guess

Personally I usually can't be bothered to click on a small thumbnail (lazy!) and then open another browser with loads of ad's jumping in my face.
