Here it is written in stages for those of you wanting to try it out.
1. Put photos onto your computer from your camera!
Put it in 'my pictures' file!
2. Go to http://photobucket.com/ or another photo host.
3. If you haven't registered with photobucket , do so first!
4. Once you are registered click on BROWSE near the top of the photobucket page.
5.This should bring up your picture file from your computer!!
6. Now find the picture in that file that you want to show and double click it.(It is easier if you resize it to a sensible size first!)
7.It will now be written as code in the browse bar of photobucket .
8. You now need to click UPLOAD , just under the browse button.
9. It may take a while, but your photo will show on that photobucket page soon.
10. It will have three rows of code under your photo.
11. You now highlight the bottom row of code . It starts like this [IMG]http://img.photobuck........ etc
It will have img to the left of the row that you need!
12. Once you have highlighted the bottom row . I double click on it to highlight it (you may prefer to drag across it to highlight it . It will go black) Right click on it whilst it is black. Now go down to copy on the grey box that comes up. Right click on the word copy.
13. Now come onto this forum, where you would normally write your reply and right click and go down to paste in the grey box that comes up. Right click on paste.
It will look like a row of coded writing at the moment on the blank page.
But that is it. You can add any writing to the thread now under the code .
Now just click on the reply button under your post and it will/should show as photo in the thread

Is it because I is a Mac user?

I've tried and tried to attach a picture of a necklace I made for my Mum. I got it down to 3Mb as a PNG (what ever that stands for). It keeps saying it's uploading then saying "done" but it isn't attached to the post. Any suggestions? Do I need to set up a photo bucket account?

perhaps because it's too large, 3Mb is quite a big file. try saving it as a .jpg that should compress the file a bit and try again. Smile

Ok I'll try even smaller.

No even a JPG at 8Kb won't go. And really the picture is too small to see at all at that size. I can't get it any smaller than that. Even with single figures in the number of pixels. Never mind.

Just tried it myself and it's not working for me either so looks like it's not a problem with your computer. Will look into it. Do you want me to host the photo for you in the meantime?

Hasn't worked for me in weeks, so went back to using photobucket again.
