For anyone who wants to post pics that are visible inside a thread you first need somewhere to "host" your pics on the web. A good place is....
http://www.photobucket.com/
You create an account and then upload pics from your PC to the account.
Once you have your pic on your account you will see under it two boxes, one says url the other img.
If you want people to just see the pic inside the thread copy the whole of the text in the img box and paste it into your posting, press preview to make sure it's working and there you are.
If you would like to post a link to the pic on your photbucket album then use the url box text and paste that into your thread, when the url has appeared in your draft post highlight the whole of the url and then press the button above the smiley bar, second from the left.
This will enclose the url in [ url ]....[ /url ] tags.
When the post is viewed clicking the link will take the viewer offsite to your pic.
The two effects are shown below
img:
url:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/VulcanScorpio/DCP04059.jpg
I hope that this helps somewhat in getting peoples pics of their pride and joy in the public eye.
Oh and if the pic goes absolutely huge when you post it then go back to Photobucket and click edit above the pic then click "resize" and reduce it by 50% That should bring it into shape.

Well spotted Craig. It is indeed an earlier photo.
Still got the crystal repeaters on.
Must do a fresh photo session when the weather gets better.

Fits fine 576 x 432 at 70k.
fairly small pic really...
EDIT: the original was 1280 x 1024 on my pc but I reduced it and uploaded it, can you tell me what you see, what screen def do you use?
If it's still too big on some peoples PC's I will have to find out why.
Have you tried a ctrl F5 to hard refresh your browser?

Screen def.? I don't know do I !! 
I'm using a Sony Vaio laptop though.
The pic goes off the right off the screen so I have to scroll across to see it all (even with the window maximised)
Just did the CTRL/F5 thing and its done the trick!
As you say, its quite small really isn't it. 
Thank you

When I am selling on Ebay, I use AOL. I find that easy.

Don't know John, I've never used AOL so I don't know anything about how it works... sorry
If you post the procedure that you use for ebay I try and figure out if it will work for here.

John.... I'm on AOL but I've never used their picture thing.
Had a little go with it earlier though, just to try it. I think its good for sharing pictures (via e-mail, etc) but for posting them up on here, you'd do better to set up an account (free) with someone like "PhotoBucket" (thats the one I use).
Let me know if you want me to experiment for you.
