Posting pictures vs. posting links:

USE PHOTOBUCKET, seems to work easier than IMAGESHACK [at least I think it does]

Assuming you've already created an account with Photobucket:

1.In Photobucket's site, select the 'My Album' option.

2.Find and Upload an image using the 'Browse' button. When you locate the file [aka the photo you want to use] left-click to 'highlight' it's name and select the 'Open' button. The name of the file will appear next to the 'Browse' button. Select the 'Submit' button below.

3.A new window should open in Photobucket ['Current album' window] and you should see the uploaded image [you may have to scroll down a bit]

HERE'S THE CRUCIAL STEP --- to make sure your image will appear 'active' in your Garden Web post versus a link:

BE SURE TO CHOSE THE FILE FROM THE 'TAG' SECTION/WINDOW.
**********

4.Right-click and 'copy' the file name from the middle 'TAG' window.

5.Go to Garden Web message board, right-click and 'paste' the file name directly into the "Message:" section. This can be done when creating a new message or adding a 'photo' reply ;-)

6.Select 'Preview Message' button to make sure the image shows up. It should. Cross your Crassulas...
