Could some one help me understand how to attach photos to postings? I am going crazy trying to figure it out. Sometimes I've actually done it , but I don't have the slightest idea how . Please help me.:( George
 
if you dont have an account at photobucket or any other online host you'll need one. when your pics are uploaded copy the url and you can paste it like this
or there is a button you can click to attach the image when you are posting the new thread.

There are basically two ways.

One, upload your photo to some sort of website, photobucket, flickr, or your own space. One you have done that, you can use the
insertimage.gif
button above your message to insert the image by pasting the URL that points to it.

Two, use the attachment button. This does not require you to have your photo already on some sort of web space. Just click the
attach.gif
button above your message, and use the "Upload from your computer" box to attach your image.

I hope this helps!

To put an image within your post just resize your image so that it is no more than 800 pixels wide and no more than 90k in size. Then, after you have typed in the words for your post, click on the paper clip icon to insert an image. Browse to find the image on your computer and click on "upload." The image won't show in the preview of your post, but will show up when you submit the post. Hope this helps!:)
 
I gave you a step-by-step in your other thread (why did you make two of these?).
Aside from being able to post it here on the forums, you can post it on a free image host (like they said).

Just be sure to enclose the image's url (path) with BBcode image tags.. I.E;
if you're going to post http://www.picturehost.com/picture.jpg make sure you put "" and "[/*img]" (without the *asteric).
So it would look something like this "[img]http://www.picturehost.com/picture.jpg[/*img]"
