I attached picture in the knivethrowing forum and picture shows very nice and clear but the person who replied to my post says that my picture is not showing. How can this happen? Any idea?

Could be the hosting site was down when that person looked at the thread, but if everybody complains they can't see it that's because the host doesn't allow hotlinks from forums. A lot of websites don't, reasoning hotlinks use their bandwidth and they don't get anything in return. There are host sites that do allow hotlinking, though.

I'll paste in my standard spiel:

The really cool way to post pix is to become a member -- then you can upload your pix directly from your own hard drive to the Bladeforums servers. Click on "Upgrade your forums experience, and help support this site" at the top of any page for membership details.

You can also post pix by using another host on the web. There are several tutorials floating around the forums; you might have a look at http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=371650
