I don't know if there was already a thread about how to post pics or not, but to possibly clear up some confusion, heres how:
1) First you need a web host to upload the pictures to . You can't link to a picture that is stored locally on your computer. If you can, then you have a worse problem than posting pictures and I suggest you visit another forum tailored to computer interests.
The site you need to upload to must allow external linking from other sites. Your ISP may also provide you some web space, and is often the best choice.
Other hosting sites you might want to try:
http://www.domaindlx.com/
http://www.rcpics.net/
http://www.montypics.com/
http://members.villagephotos.com/
http://www.imagestation.com/
Note that the sites above were suggested by freinds. Image hosting sites often change what they allow you to do for free. So it's possible in the future that they may prevent pictures from showing up on the forums.
2) Create your account on the host of your choice and upload your pictures. Note the actual web address of the image you wish to link to from the forums. To do this you can right click on the picture and select properties if you are using Internet Explorer, you can highlight the web address. Note, however, that all of the address may not be showing so you may have to scroll while highlighting the address. Then right click on the highlighted address and select copy.
3) Now to the forums. Start a new post or thread and click on the IMG button in the menu that's above the area where you type in your post. Right click in the resulting box and select paste. After doing that select OK. Your post should now contain something similar to the following.
www.yourhost.com/picture-directory/picture.jpg
Note that your picture location will be different than shown above.
4) That's all there is to it. When you submit your post or thread, you should see your picture if you have followed the above steps correctly.
Hope this helps...Alex:macho
