I just started trying this yesterday. Lots still to learn too

Go to photobucket, ( it's free,) upload the pic to them from your PC and transfer it to the forum after that.

Put pics in photobucket. Once you have them in PB, click on the share option and choose the bottom option that begins and ends in [IMG] Copy that link and paste it it in your reply.

Default How to Paste Images in text body

Here you go,
I quickly made a screen capture of the process.
simple as copy and paste in advanced mode.
Be wary though,the reason thumbnails are used is to reduce the file size load time on ppls computers and also the fact that overly large images tend to be annoying.

Enjoy.

I have to disagree. Thumbnails are the annoying ones. You have to hover over them or click on them to see the picture but when it is already full size non of that has to be done. It makes scrolling through the thread less time consuming.

Dialup? Man, you must have some real patience! I tried a dialup connection while staying at my Dad's. It took 3-5 minutes just to load an Ebay ad!
