    OK what you need to do is to go to a site like photobucket get an account, it's free, follow the steps there on getting your photos uploaded to the site then to post them over here you want to paste the IMG code into your message, photobucket gives you the code. Here is an example of what I mean:

    I know exactly where you are coming from and it took a lot of kind people a lot of time to teach this technodunce how to do it. Actually it really is not that difficult to do once the instructions are put in words of one syllable. Help will be on the way soon, for sure. What you do need is a "photobucket account", its free, so while you are waiting for an expert to chip in, make a start with photobucket and then transfer your pictures to there.

    If you want to post a photo from a website, including your own, open the web site and bring up the photo. Right click on the photo, then scroll down to "properties" and click on that, then you will see in the middle of the screen that comes up a URL for the photo. Highlight the complete url then , with your mouse button over the highlited url, right click and click "copy". Go to the place on xmarks where you want to post your picture and start your post, then put in the following exactly as I have below:

    [img]*[/img]

    right click paste your URL for the photo into the space between the two bracketed img's where the asterisk is and the image should show up when you finish the post. Repeat as needed. This should work from photobucket, snapfish, or your own website or any toher website. Enjoy.
