Since we've gotten quite a few new members asking about posting pictures, here is a quick tutorial.
Case 1 - The picture is on your computer or on the web, but you don't want to link it directly.
1. Go to http://www.imageshack.us
2a. Choose either upload "image" (if it's on your computer) and click browse to find the file on your computer.
2b. or URL (if it's on the web) and paste the image link (will most likely end in ".jpg") right into the image bar
3. Check off "resize image" and choose "640x480 for message boards"
4. Click on "host it!"
5. Copy the entire link towards the bottom of the page that says "
Hotlink for forums (1)"
6. Paste the link right into the body of your post.
Case 2 - the image is on the Internet, and you want to post it directly (not a very good idea, since images sometimes get removed from the original website, but quicker)
1. Right click (Control + mouse click on Mac) on the image and choose "copy image location" (not to be confused with "copy link location")
2. In your post formatting bar click on the little green tree icon.
3. Paste the link into the pop up window in the "image URL" bar.
4. Hit the "insert" button.
