ok, well im sure its in the commonly asked questions section, as its certainly asked often!

Basically as this is not a commercial site and its free to use, to help keep costs down you have to open an account and host the pic on another site, (such as photobucket) and then post the IMG link from that site in a post. The photo will then show, but hosted by the other site. - dont worry you wont have to open these accounts.

If you have a photobucket account, under pics you have put into your account there will be a few links, click or copy yo IMG type link and post this in your posts.

when people first join, they cant post links, this is im sure to stop dubious members, spam etc. (after a few posts and a few days you would be ok)
But i think you have been here for some time as you have a fair few posts so this wont be a problem.

people have actual pics you can see/click on to make bigger & it's not just a link?

you can use such sites to host the pic but see it as a pic on here.. personally I use 'tinypic' .. I find it relatively easy to use, and it shows pics straight on to the site

:D
