I wanted to post pictures of some Mod's, do they need to be a certain size or will the Fourm software do that? Upload, Download, Picture Hosting Web Sites ....... I'ts all kind of confusing. Will someone pease give me a picture uploading lesson or point me in a direction? I was able to load in my Avatar.

Thanks TD

I use photobucket.com to host pictures. It's all pretty straightforward once you get the pictures uploaded.

You won't be able to upload pics using the forum, but there are a lot of great free sites out there that will host images for you. Photobucket, Imageshack, and Flickr are all very popular sites that are generally pretty easy to use. Imageshack will let you upload photos without having to register, but you'll have to register for Photobucket and Flickr.

Once you have some photos uploaded, to display them on the forum type

You can also use PicOodle! - Image Sharing. I believe it has an automatic resize as well. It's very easy and very fast.

I like photobucket.

Webshots will also let you host and link pics.

Ok, I was able to post the pic's on Flickr. Now where do I obtain the URL's?

I've never used Flickr but at Photobucket the URL is right beside the picture that you have just uploaded...

Those sites don't like it when you direct link to the file without their forum code (read:ads). Imageshack for example gives forum code that they want you to use. They are starting to crack down on it too.

You don't have to include their ads, but it is kind of not nice since they are providing a free service. Also, if you play by their rules your image is likely to be up longer.
