Cindy: You need to create an account with an image host. Some use Photobucket. You upload them to their and post the links on the forum. There is a tag that is on the site that they use with the button above that says Img. Click on it, post you tag and click on the Img* button and it places the closed tag on the sites. Others use the link just post in the thread they are posting in. With an enter, then the tag comes on on the thread and you can them them there.

Thanks coop, I appreciate the info. I don't guess I'll be posting much until I learn how to do this stuff.

Cindy, don't let Coop scare you! He iss a "magician", and can do tricks, that even the expertx are left staring!
I use photobucket, because it is very user friendly, (and I need one that is very frisndly).
Now there is another site that allows you to post directly from the computer, and is limited to 250KB. I don't know how they do it, but it sure helps. Only othet part of that is you can only upload one image at a time, not like here, with PB, you can post several.
Of the two, I prefer this one. It is easy, and that is how i like it, "nice and easy"!
Oh yes, on that other site, you can't edit, or delete! If you post it, it is written in stone, (or something)!

Thank you Dick,
I will get brave and try photo bucket. I too need something that is very friendly. Cameras and computers are not my best work by along shot. Hope to post pics within a few days.

Hey Cindy,

Just give it a try, you'll get inputs until it works. Don't be shy

LOL.... I noticed that photobucket just upgraded their site.
It seems like whenever something works the websites upgrade it to make us learn how to use it again.

Ed, tyes,and they left me out in the cold!
But some feedback,and a bit of needed info, and they made the old way available, again. You just have to click on "more choices", and that blue bar will scroll the next part for you. I just clicked on the one for 'forums, and copied it, then posted. I came out here on the world copper section.
So it is still "friendly"!
