Tech,

You need to download the pic to a web site somewhere, then point to the URL from your posting. Your ISP normally gives you 10 or 20Mb of web space with your account so you can save your web pages and pictures there. Some forums provide a storage area which you apply for but I don't know of this one does.

What I do ...
1. Make the pic - crop, save as gif etc to make it small as possible.
2. Use an FTP prog to upload it to your web site (I use WS_FTP Lite it's pretty basic but does this job effortlessly and it's freeware).
3. Make sure you drop the pic into your "public" personal directory on your ISP server (my ISP uses the name public_html) - don't put it in a sub-directory or it won't show.
Your ISP should have a help page on all of this.
4. Then use the [Img] BBCodes located above the text pane and be careful that you type in all the right info (as you'll see I got it wrong several times in my latest post on the Problem thread).

I fiddled about and found all this out by trying it - there may be an easier and more elegant way that someone else can suggest.
