This site requires the photo be stored online. I am using pbase which charges a small yearly fee. Someone might be able to steer you to a free site.

Some other discussion boards allow you to upload the image from your hard drive and they store it on their server. Most boards devoted to imaging like this one require you to link to an image already stored online.

After you have the site, note the link to the JPG and click IMG in the message editor, type in your link, then click IMG again to close the picture link. After it should look like the following (except it should be square brackets instead of round ones):

(img)http://www.website.com/directory/image.jpg(/img)

In regards to posting images, be kind...it's nicer if it's 800x600 or less, and 150k or less...or you will get people mad at you (especially those on dialup).
