Use the browse button. Select the pic and push the open button.

It's a good idea to size the pic first. About 550 pixels on the long side, and 72 dpi works well for me.

Do you want to post your pictures in the gallery or just post pictures in a thread? If you want the put in the gallery, go to the gallery section and click on 'upload picture" in the upper right hand corner.

If you want to post a picture in a thread, then you need to "host" the picture some place. You can use photo bucket http://photobucket.com/ or the galley. Once you have your picture on a host system you can add a link to the picture in your thread. If you use the reply button on the thread there will be an option for adding a picture. Or you can do it manually by adding [img] in front of the link and [/img] at the end of the link.

for example, this link http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x266/jwhitmore44/P6040050.jpg with the in the correct place make the picture show up

These two posts show step by step how to upload pictures to your own Gallery here and also how to add them to your posts;

Those 2 posts have all the info you need. The integrated gallery & posting is very easy to use.

All of the stuff posted above should have you fixed up by now.  If not, I posted this thread about using PhotoBucket a few days ago and maybe something in there will fill in the gaps.

The photo gallery doesn't work if you are on a land line. (aka dial-up) I just keep a folder for web-sized pics in My Pictures.

i use imageshack. it gives you a code that you paste on this white box where im writing this right now. if you have many images, theres an app that you can download and install on your comp and it will upload as many images you want at once, resizing them to the desired size and then will give you the code to paste here again, for every image you uploaded or the whole.

what i like about imageshack is that the images are not uploaded to the forum so wont take any space from it. if you save the code of the images you can post them in any other forum at the same time without having to upload them in every other forum, website or blog
