You have to upload your pictures to a site like photobucket, or imageshack then when it says insert image.. you post the direct link to the image in that.

Also, it's a good idea to downsize your photos before posting. I like to use the microsoft picture resizer. It makes the file size not so dang large. It can take a few mb file, and turn it into like 100 kb or less. But you have to go through a separate site like those first, then put the link in the insert image thing.

Can we put the directions to do this in the FAQ section? I looked and couldn't find it posted in there.

WIth photobucket, it will resize the pics for you when you upload them.

To post a image you can either click on the yellow postage stamp icon or type it out.

[img] url of image here with no spaces [/img] you must remember to have the forward slash (/)in the second bracket as it part of the code.
