Right Gerry,
First step is to upload your pictures to some webspace. If you check with your internet service provider (ISP) you will probably find that they have provided you with some free space. If not try registering with a commercail provider such as
Geocities who provide free space.
They will provide instructions on how to upload images.
You will then have an address which points to your picture. It is important to make sure the link goes straight to the picture not to the webpage it is on.
This address will look something like this:
http://mysite.freeserve.com/crblakey/22.jpg
Next, create your message on the forums and enter the IMAGE tag. This can be done by clicking once on the IMG button at the top of the reply screen.
This appears: [img]
Then type the full address of the picture you wanted:
[img]http://mysite.freeserve.com/crblakey/22.jpg
Then click agan on the button which now says IMG*.
This will appear [ /img ] (but without the spaces.
You should have a line int he middle of your message that resembles this but without any spaces in it.
[ i m g ]http://mysite.freeserve.com/crblakey/22.jpg[ / i m g ]
And hey presto, a picture should appear when you post the message!!!
