I host my pics on photobucket. I just find this the easier way for me to do it. On photobucket there is a section under the pics that has [IMG. you can left click on the and it will copy it for you. You then go to the post and just right click and select paste.

I am a little slow but I get there eventually. Now I have to play around and figure out how to size them so that they are not so big. It is simple once you figure it out.

using photobucket

Go to http://photobucket.com/register/?specia ... b_join_now and create an account. Once you have your account, you can log in to your album page and start the process.

First, choose where the pictures are coming from. In most cases you want to choose your computer as the source.

Before you begin uploading, you need to resize the pictures. Photobucket does that for you.
The resize tool allows you to upload pictures even if they are really big. The pictures are resized as part of the transfer process. Use either the 15" or 17" screen for best viewing results, the images shown here are done using the 15" option.
Image


Now you are ready to start uploading. Use the blue button to navigate to your pictures, then select which ones you want to upload.
Image



Once the pictures are uploaded, you need to find the URL with the right HTML tags so the pictures will appear. This forum uses the IMG tags.

This is how the URL of your picture should look when its pasted to the response box

Use the preview button at the bottom of the forum page to see if you have done it right. If you have, your post should appear with the pictures in the preview box above the response box. If it has worked, click submit and your post will appear.
