Join http://photobucket.com/ or www.flickr.com its fast and free.

After you join you can download your pictures from your computer. After the images are downloaded they will assign four links, EMail & IM, Direct Link, HTML tag, and IMG code.

The IMG code is the easiest to use. Just right click on the IMG URL tag and it will say copied. Now when you are posting in a thread just right click again and left click on paste. The link will be displayed, not the picture. To see the picture before you post hit the Preview Post button and voila, you have pictures.

Another way with Photobucket is right click on the direct link. This link can be used to re-direct a user to the image on your photobucket page. Also the direct link can be used to post pictures here. Hit the

button, insert the direct link and the picture will appear without hitting the preview post button.

^^THANK YOU! I've always wonder how people did it. I just thought you can upload it from where ever, desktop or whatever and it will be there. No dice. It wanted a link and I was like WTF? I don't have a link to a picture. So now I know what that is for.

Correct, that feature is disallowed for registered users. Your best option is to either post up the picture as described above, or if you don't want the photo to display within your reply then just supply the URL that links to the picture without any image tags.
