Get a photo hosting account at villagephotos.com or photobucket.com. You can get a free account.

Upload the picture from your computer to your photo account. After you upload it, you will have (usually) 3 links to use to post pictures for each particular pic you uploaded.

Use the http// link. When you come here, use the image tags - they look like this {img}{/img} -- except, use brackets: [] Put the image link in between the image tags.

So, it would look like this, without the spaces: {img} url {/img} <<<Make sure you don't forget your closing tag. When it's all put together, your image should appear:

. And I'm not sure why Cathe's site always has that broken image link next to all images. It's always like that, and I haven't figured out why.

Thanks! I did it...but the pictures are BIG. Is there any way to reduce the size?

Do you have photoshop? You could just post the link without the img tags, and I can grab it and resize it for you.

Also, not sure which photo hosting site you chose, but I *think* photobucket will resize pics for you.

fit@home1 If you delete the first {img} from the string, I believe the broken link goes away...

Hmmm.....but then how can your image show if you don't have the complete tag? http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-5/181204/dunno.gif[/img]

That's WEIRD!! LOL

Ok, so just the image url, and then the CLOSING tag - {/img} - with brackets [].

Got it! :7

I am not sure but some links post better without the {img} in the beginning. I think Mama Deb told me this!

Let me try both ways

with the 1st {img}:

without the 1st {img}: http://planetsmilies.net/13325.gif[/img]

And Yes, picturetrail.com does resize the pics.
