I'm with Anders on this... it's pretty easy once the photo is hosted somewhere on the internet. Scott has the images display using a link to an internet resource, rather than embedding them directly, or storing for each posting... this is good because it saves memory if the same photo is reposted several times in different threads, and saves having us have to find them on our own computers each time... where you are a member, you can set up a photo gallery, and looking, it seems you already have done this... so it's pretty simple to post a new photo - add it to your gallery, then copy the link to the photo (right click on the photo in your gallery and select "copy image address") and then paste that into the "optional image link" at the bottom of every posting form... The picture ends up at the end of your post.

If you would rather have pictures embedded in text (aka "inline images", read the green blurb in the posting form under where you type your message. It's as easy as pasting and then adding the square bracket flags before/after... like this:




Note that for this photo, I right clicked on the thumbnail in your gallery, so I get a small thumbnail photo. The photo will be the size of whatever the link was, usually, what it shows on the screen. Here's another thumbnail from your same intake gallery:



But for the photo I put in the "Optional Image Link" field, I went to that photo in your gallery and right clicked etc to get it's address. That is why it is bigger. The default there is a nice size for posting the way Scott has done it... but... if you have stored giant photos in your gallery and you want those, just click on the "display original size" and then right click on the photo. I try to upload everything in 640x480 because then it fits on most screens with enough detail and doesn't use too much memory.

In principle, you can post pictures from anywhere, just by grabbing the link to the image file... like this...



or this...



The copied address should end in an image file name of some sort, ie a jpg or png or maybe gif... but not .html or something like that.

Sounds a little complicated, but really it is not. Hope that helps!
