1. You must have storage space on a web site that is accessible 24/7 to the public.
http://photobucket.com/ is good free space to store your photos.
2. Your photo can be in the .gif or .jpg format and maybe others. It should be small in physical size (about 640x480, 90kb) for fast page loading and ease of viewing on the forum. Photobucket has built in tools that allows easy resizing of photos.
3. Save your photo to your storage space and then find out what the web address (url) to the file will be. For example, the address to one of my photos on Photobucket is "
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb46 ... 280077.jpg". You can find this two ways in Photobucket: (a) Right click on your photo and choose "Properties". Copy the link shown next to "Address (URL)" [caution: sometimes websites add some info after your file extension so just copy your file information up to the extension type of your photo] (b) Use Photobucket's link provided to the right of your photo... use the one called "Direct Link". Copy that link as displayed there in its entirety.
4. In your message where you want the image to appear click on the "image button" at the top of the post window. Next, paste the URL in your message. Now click the "image button" above again. The finished line will look something like this:
(img)
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb46 ... .jpg(/img).
Round brackets have been substituted for square brackets in the sample line so that you can see the code.
5. Preview your post to see if it worked.
(Thanks to Bruce who's previous directions I have copied and edited here!)
