To post photos your first need to upload your pictures to a website that gives you an {img} code, sites like FLICKR will give you this code once your pictures are uploaded. Personally I use PHOTOBUCKET and below is a detailed description on how to use this site. I'm sure there are other ways but I must stress you will need the IMG code before you are able to upload
1) Firstly you'll need to register yourself an account at PhotoBucket - www.photobucket.com. That should be straight forward (I hope). There are other sites but I find photobucket the easiest
2) Once you've registered and logged in, you'll see the upload function at the top of the page. If you wish to upload several files at once, do so by clicking on the drop down box and selecting the number you need. Use the "Browse" button to locate the files on your hard drive.
3) Once you've located the files on your PC and uploaded them, they will appear in the album below the upload function. Under each image are three lines of text - links to the image. To post on this forum, you'll need line marked "IMG".
4) Copy the link from the "IMG" box, and paste it into a new post on here. Repeat as necessary for all of the images you want to post. When making your post, make sure you hit return after each link you paste - this 'stacks' the image down the page, if you don't hit the return button the pictures will appear side by side
5) Before you post, hit the preview button to make sure all your images are there, and that they're displaying correctly. If you're happy, post it!
Image sizes for the forum should be no bigger than 800x600 pixels, and less than 150KB. To check the file sizes, you can use the "Save for web" function in photoshop, and use the slider to control the file size, or save at quality 9 or 10 in photoshop. That should keep the file sizes reasonable for those on slower connections.
It's also worth noting that image over 250 KB will automatically be resized by photobucket -
Any problems with the above just drop me a PM or send an email to rampvan2000@yahoo.com and I will try and help you through
