Alright this question get asked a hundred times:

1. If you don't have a web server kicking around at home which most don't you need to register with a online website which will act as the hosting to your photos. I prefer www.cardomain.com but some choice different ones like www.streetneeds.com.

2. Once your registered there which is pretty straight forward you can start to upload your photo's. For this example I will be using cardomain for the rest of the set.

3. After you've uploaded your photo's you need to isolate that photo's address. to do this you right click on the photo and click on "open link in new window" this will open a new webpage and you'll see page can not be displayed this is fine.

4. Next you need to click in the address bar and clean up the address for the picture to display you should see something very similar to this "java script:ShowImage
'http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/show_
image.pl?fg=000000&bg=CCCCCC&migration=1&image=
h ttp://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/9/web/
813000-813999/813959_36_full.jpg',%20575,%20461);".


Now delete everything in that line from the "image=" back and from the % forward to create this "http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/9/
web/813000-813999/813959_36_full.jpg" now hit the enter button and you photo should appear.

5. Next copy that address out and click on the New reply and or edit an existing post doesn't really matter. and to insert the image click on this button and a new window will appear starting with http:// you will delete that and paste what you just copied out of car-domain and click OK. That's it your done you can hit preview post to see it before you post it for everyone to see.

If I'm missing something PM me and I will update the post.

******Update for MAC Users******

If you are experiencing problems adding photo's to your posts and using Internet Explorer, Switch to Safari as there seems to be a glitch with Internet Explorer.

******Update Forcing image size******

If you have a picture that exceeds the forum rules of 800X600, you don't have to take the time and re size the photo to display it. You can force the size restriction by simply stating it in the "[img]" tag. For example you have an image 1024X768 you start off by putting "[img=800X600]your URL or web address[/url]" and your photo will re size to comply with the forum rules.
