1) If you want to post your images directly to the forum, then you will need to find a web site that does image hosting. Here are a few sites that will host your images for free:
Picture Trail
My Imgs
Data Zap
There are many more web sites that will host for free, but I don't have THAT much time on my hands. A Google search on "free image hosting" should help you find the hosting service that is right for you.
Please keep in mind that most free web hosting services do have a bandwidth limit. This means that if you exceed your daily or monthly limit your images will disappear from the board. Whether or not this happens will depend on what the bandwidth limit is and how much traffic this board receives.
Once you have your account and pictures uploaded, you should see an address for the particular image(s). You will want to copy that address and place it in between the image tags here on the forum. The image tags (IMG) can be found under the heading add tags.. If you have any trouble posting your pictures using this method, then please feel free to ask for help.
Tips:
* Get two or three accounts with different hosting sites. If/when you use up your bandwidth limit at one site, you can switch to another account to get you through the rest of the month.
*If you would like to have your avatar or signature reliably show up on the forum (and if you feel having them show up is worth a few bucks), then you might want to consider buying web space. I have seen some web sites offer it for as cheap as $2.00/month. The best way to find such a site would be to do a Google search on "avatar hosting" or "image hosting."
