lycheeluva: I use Photobucket when I want to post a picture to this forum. They are an image hosting site for just this situation. Go to http://photobucket.com/ Use the big red button to join. There is no cost to join. I haven't received any spam from them in the four months I've been a member. Then upload your pictures to them. They have a good tutorial site if you need it: http://photobucket.com/faq?catID=4 Then use the HTML code (one of the three codes beneath each of your pictures on Photobucket) in your message on this forum. Tutorial for this if you need it: http://tutorials.photobucket.com/tutorial_74.html Then submit your message. When you return to this forum and open up the message in question... Voila! Your picture will be in your message at the place where you inserted the code. juniorpilot
