hi timbershort - here's a good tutorial:

HTML tutorial for forum

I use photobucket free hosting. After signing up it's an easy job to upload your pictures (I try to adjust them ahead so they'll fit on a screen and be under 140 Kb - fewer Kb is better). Photobucket then shows 4 boxes of text under each picture. You copy the text in the 3rd box down called HTML code. Now I have to hover my mouse over the photo for those boxes to appear. maybe that's just with Vista? Then you write your message in this forum and choose paste (from the edit menu or a mouse right-click box). When you preview your message you will see your photo if you've done it correctly.

thank yall so much. i will have to try it out.

Hi Timber.

Stop on by the link below at the Test Forum Gallery and try your hand at it. There are 'regulars' there that will help if you have problems.

Once you have your pics uploaded to Photobucket (free) you can proceed with the instructions here that I wrote up for a friend.....Posting pics dumbed down
