Well, first you sign up with a free image hosting website. Lots of the guys here use Webshots. I personally use Photobucket. Once you have an account set up, then you need to get your digital images onto your PC. Once that's taken care of, you're all set. Follow the instructions provided by your host site to upload photos to your online album (you can get an idea of how mine looks by clicking on my website button). The final step is to copy and paste the image url (which may already include the [img] tags. If not click the above Img button or simply type them yourself) into your post. Should look something like [ IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/f ... GP1221.jpg[/IMG ]. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.


Oh yeah, welcome to your new obsession. :wink:

Personally, I prefer Image shack, http://www.imageshack.us./ the interface is quite "user friendly" and allows you to simply cut and paste the link to your pic into your forum message, I like that, easy is the name of the game with me, now...I have not tried the others mentioned, so I cannot comment. Good luck.

My favorite site is:

http://www.uploadfile.info/

You don't have to register (avoiding A LOT of crap E-Mails) and it's dead quick. Once you get the picture up, you right click on the image go to properties, copy the URL and paste it to your posting like this:

[img]myphoto.jpg[/img]

remember to use the entire URL. You won't be able to access the picture after that, so make sure you get it right!!

For what it's worth I did have to register at Image Shack, but I don't get any crap e-mail because of it, most likely because my ISP does a tremendous job of filtering out spam and the like. Your mileage may vary, depending on who your ISP is, and your own individual system settings. Good luck.
