Why don't someone give a lesson on how to post a photo,from beginning to end.Then  even I might post a picture,if I ever catch anything.

OK here you go.
Step 1) get a camera.
When you have finished that I will move on to step 2.

while photobucket certainly didn't make their site more user friendly, it's still possible (if you have explorer 8 or newer)

ok I'll try my best to guide you through how i do it using photobucket..
Here you'll see I copy and paste the link from the IMG collum 

 
dont know how else to explain it

Yes Tuna its still doable but when trying to prepare a number of pics to tell a story it is now work.
They made it terrible to navigate the site.
I was hoping there was something more user friendly out there.
 
Now if you could tell me how to make this my avitard I will be eternally grateful.

I didnt resize any of my photopoop, just did the normal upload I always do.. Not the tree thing, again just coppied the IMG and pasted it to the reply..
YES they totally screwed that site up and is a total PAIN in the azz now..
 
Twobob:
that is cake stuff man, have a picture on your computer somewhere that is sized 100x100 max (actually I think its more ?) .
Go to your profile (MY PROFILE ) at top of page here. Find the little box that says avatard, or how ever ya say it..
click on the search and once it starts invading your privacy on your computer, locate the pic, click the pic and it will load into the box..
 
Whew, that blew typing that..
Anyway.. Clint you didnt miss any thing, dry humor about not fishing the lfz..
I think I'm sticking with the big stuff and see what happens..
Always thanks for your reports..
Now I hope the weather,  COLD RAIN & SNOW will keep people a little off the water but I doubt it..
 
DB,
May all those hard rains & chilly winds blow in Pulaska man.. lol

What you need to do to post pics:
Resize your images using a free program (infanview) www.irfanview.com
Once the pics are resized 640 x 480 for landscape and 480 x 640 for portrait they need to be uploaded to a place where they can be called by their web location, for example.  When I upload photos, I upload to my website www.1pcmedic.com  into a subfolder say "powercart" and I named my photo 1.jpg   so the path to my pic is http://www.1pcmedic.com/powercart/1.jpg
The above path is the "image URL" that needs to be copied and pasted into the box when you click on the insert image icon on the toolbar when making a post.  If the image is larger than the above dimensions it will be a lot larger than full screen making sliders on the top and bottom of the page or cropping the image you referenced in the image URL. Also Irfanview lets you batch resize / rename so you can resize an entire folder at one time. Yes you need to play with the program to batch resize / rename until you get the feel of doing it, practice makes perfect.
I hope this helps

Twobob,  at the top of this page click PROFILE, then AVATAR TAB.  Insert the url to your avatar which is the same location you used to post the pic.

It's not, just showing how its done.

If your internet provider gives you free web storage every file you store has a path to it. You store the photo and post the path in your message. The photo should only leave the message if you removed it from your fre web storage or you edited your message and deleted it. The photos are not held by this board, only the reference to it.  Like I said before, right click any photo on the web, select properties and you should see the path.  Exceptions would be photo galleries generated by Javascript or other scripts but HTML references can always be viewed. 
 
Any photo uploaded old or new can be viewed in this message all you need is the path to where it resides on the internet.
Hope this helps.

Complete stranger here but have a question on this subject. Why can I post photos on Craigs list ebay and several other sites with no problems but can't post on this site to save my life and I've tried EVERY thing.

Those sites store the photos
This site uses photos linked to another site

Well,I'll have to digest this info and then try it,I'm a computer idiot though.
