    Dave,

    You need to have a place on the Internet (a hosting site) that you can load your pictures to. Once they are there, you can then use the

    [IMG]

    tags here on the Forum to place the URL of the picture you wish to display.

    Many times, your Internet provider gives you space to host a limited website. Or you could try a site that allows you to upload pictures. There are a lot of free picture hosting sites out on the web. I've used Photobucket successfully.

    Pictures should be in a compressed format like .jpg or .gif. Large .bmp files will use up space very quickly and will load more slowly on peoples' computers.

    I think Flickr is one of those places that lets you host images for free--there are a few out there.

    Thanks both Harry and Rudy for the info - I have never posted images on the Forum before - I thought it would be a simple case of copying and pasting!

    photobucket.com is another one. I think a guy could just type "free picture hosting" into Google and get a ton of places to keep stuff. All for the price of looking at an ad or two! :)
