I knew I had seen instructions somewhere.

I must admit: I have never tried posting a photo.

Here is a link that might be useful: Posting photos

Here is a link from my webpage, if you do not have photobucket. It includes pictures. Only on page five the original photos I used in my example are missing, but everthing else is complete:

I use webshots. Once your shot is uploaded, then click on the desired pic.
There will be 9 little thingys to click on right under the bottom right of the pic. Click on the next to the last one that says "copy the code" when you mouse over it.
Then you will see a box that is titled "post this photo"
at the top of this box there are numbered boxes that say 100,200 etc. This will determine size of the inserted pic. 425 is a nice size. Click one, then go to middle box where it says to direct link to image. Copy all of this code.
then in this same box your typing your message, type the following:

the only space you leave is between img and src,putting your code in quotations.

for example, my code is:

Bobbi, Phyllis from THS just told me the absolutely easiest (IMHO) way to post an image if you just have it stored on your computer:

Go to Tinypic.com, click on 'upload', browse your files to get the picture, upload the picture from your computer and (the scanned photos have to be "Valid formats: jpg,png,bmp,gif,tif "). It will probably take a minute to upload.
Choose the HTML file (the top string of code), not the IMG. Right click on that code, choose 'copy', and then:

Come back to the forum you wish to post the picture in, type your message, THEN under your message, in the SAME box, right click and 'paste' that first line from tinypic.com

Hit preview to make sure it 'took' - if not, try again. I just posted a picture of my Grandsons and their friend on the Kitchen Table site. There is also a test site on the main page here, that you can post a practice attempt.
