shfunky,

Photobucket or another photo hosting service is the only option, give it another go it's really not that hard once you get used to it. Read here if you haven't already:

Here you go... how to get photos into the forum via photobucket in 10 easy steps. I put this together for my Dad... and if he can follow them successfully it can't be too hard

1. Go to http://www.photobucket.com Click the join now tab.

2. Fill in your details and sign up.

3. When you get to the “my album” page Click on the Browse button. Select the location of the photo you want to upload from your harddrive. Then click upload.

4. Be patient while the image is uploaded. You will then get a message saying "1 of 1 image has been uploaded".

5. Scroll down to the image and click on it. The image will appear in a large format. Along the top of the image will be some links.

6. Click on "Rotate" if you need to change the image's orientation.

7. If your image is already up the right way up then click on "Resize" and from the pull-down menu and select "message board 640x480" then "ok" in the pop up window. (If this option isn't in the pull-down menu then your image is already a good size and you can go to the next step!)

8. Then on the right-hand side of the image you will see some text boxes. Go to the bottom text box that says "IMG code - Forums and Bulletin Boards", Click your cursor inside that text box and you will see a little yellow box appear that says "copied".  That code is now copied onto your computer's clipboard.

9. Come back here to the forum and in the message you've been typing, click so that your cursor is where you want the image to appear. Then right-click on your mouse and select paste. The code should now appear in your message. 

10. When you click on submit that code will become an image within the message. If you are using the "post reply" function then you can click on "preview" and see what your message will look like with the image in it before you hit submit.

GOOD LUCK!

Hi Sportytrace

This is great info. Thanks

Great write-up Sportytrace. That one is worthy of the How To section so I've copied it to there as well.

Sportytrace you are a marvel,

I had no idea how to do that shit and havent posted any pics since the very simple user friendly system was scrapped !

I will give it a try and hopefully get things happening.

Thanks again Sporty

Thanks Trace, was easy with your step by step instructions 

 

Good instructions trace, obviously you are not a blond

You are welcome! And I get to see all the pics now... so it is well worth it!

And no, not a blonde at the moment.... though I have my moments
