Find a file hosting site (I use Filecloud, but there are many options around). Upload your photos to that site, and make sure the settings on the host allows direct links to the images. Then when you make a post here, use the IMG tag to plunk them into the post.
Really, the hardest part is getting set up with a file host. |

I use photobucket.com you can sign up for that then when you upload pictures you click on them, and there's a button to "generate html and img code" and if you click in the box below "IMG clickable thumbnails for message boards" it'll auto copy the code and then you get something like the following when you post it in the forum.
 (just my 40k chapter I have no pictures of my orks) |

What format are your pics saved as? Could be you are using a format that is not able to be read by the site? But I would try using photobucket.com I set up that site in 3 minutes and had my pics uploaded in 2 min more. Very easy!

What's the picture format? Some pics won't be saved on Photobucket or hosted on Invision forums because of the format. If you can, try to use the .jpg format. Not sure if .png files work, I haven't had a chance to play with 'em.
At all costs, avoid .bmp format. It's not dynamic, but BUGGER ME it's huge  remember other people's bandwidth!Hmm I used to have a pic-posting tutorial over at P&H. Gone now, but it's simple enough given what everyone else has said  Cheers! Borzag |
