TO POST AN IMAGE ON THIS SITE:
In order to post an image on an internet forum or message board, your image must be "hosted" on an internet web site, and assigned a "URL" or web address starting with "HTTP" and ending with the image's "file extension," such as "JPG," "GIF," BMP," etc. There are a number of sites that offer free image hosting. I use Imageshack --

Follow the instructions on the screen. (USE the "BROWSE" button on the site to locate your image on your computer, and go from there.)
After your image is hosted, you will see a screen with a number of options. Toward the bottom of the list, you will see your image's new URL -- again, starting with HTTP and ending with JPG, or whatever. Highlight this, and copy and paste it into your browser's "address bar" and press the Enter Key on your keyboard to see the image itself in it's own screen. It's a good idea to "bookmark" this page, or ad it to your "Favorites," depending on the browser software you use -- Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, etc.
Now that you've done this, all you have to do is compose your message on this board, and when you come to the place where you want the image to appear, click once on the IMG button. A set of brackets will appear on the screen -- [img]. Paste your image's new URL right after that--with no spaces in between the bracket and the URL--and then click the IMG button again. You will see something like this --
[img]http/:myimage'sURL.jpg
[/img]
Finish composing your message, and click on the PREVIEW button below to verify that your image displays correctly.
