http://photobucket.com works well for me as a free hosting site. Just copy the link to the pic, click the little postcard looking icon when your posting, and paste in your link.

Hi Mike, just recently it was brought to my attention that you have to be a paying member of BF to post pictures.

Even if you can't post the foto, you can post a link if it is on a public foto server. Paid memberships allow you varying amounts of storage on the BF server and the ability to upload directly from your computer using the "Manage Attachments" button on the "post Reply" screen.

Including pictures inside a posting here on BFC is done is two steps:
#1 step -- Put the pictures somewhere on the web. One picture-hosting site that lots of folks use is Photobucket.com to store their pictures. Photobucket and some other sites are free -- you don't need to pay them to store your pics on their web servers -- while other image hosting sites charge for the space. Once you put the pictures on a site like that, each image will have a web address something like http://photobucket.com/blah-blah-blah/xyz-xyz.jpg.
#2 step -- To include your picture inside a posting here on Bladeforums, as you are composing your post you place an image link in your post. The image link would look something like this:
[img]http://photobucket.com/blah-blah-blah/xyz-xyz.jpg[/img]
Those letters inside the [] square brackets are called "tags". The first tag [img] tells Bladeforums that you're about to give it the web address of a picture. The web address starts immediately after the tag. So don't put any spaces between the tags and your address. The second tag, the one with the slash before the "img", [/img] tells Bladeforums to stop reading input as the web address of your picture.
When someone views your posting, as their browser loads the page, Bladeforums will go out and get your picture from the web and insert it into your posting where you put the image link tags and address of it.
