"To post a picture:
a: Upload or FTP it to your webspace. Your Internet Service Provider probably provides you with 5 or 10 MB of free space; if not, use a free photo-host site such as:
http://www.photobucket.com or http://www.photopoint.com
b: click in the address window of the picture's web page to copy the picture's URL using CTRL-C.
c: Use *file|open* to check that this is the correct URL. (Paste the URL into the file|open dialogue box using CTRL-V, then click go and see what happens.)
d: Then come to the forum, click on POST REPLY at the top of an earlier post, (or POST NEW TOPIC -- if it is a completely new topic; ALWAYS USE REPLY TO ADD A PICTURE OR REPLY TO AN EXISTING THREAD).
e: In the message window, paste the url. THEN
f: bracket the URL with the *UBB image codes.
UBB uses [ ] not < >
Don't forget the /slash in the closing tag only.
But first you need to upload your pictures, and make sure you have the URL's correct.
Note: clicking the "Picture Postcard" button on the reply page (under the size arrow) will automatically add the IMG tags. Just paste your pic's URL in the interactive window, after clicking the Image link.
*
Alternately you can use the Manage Attachments button (below the reply window) to directly upload an image file from your hard drive. But attached images are a nuisance to forum users. Use in line images if you can."

If I want to post a pic from a hosting service, I use the the pic posting tool on the "Go Advanced" response screen. The pic posting tool is the one that has the icon that looks like a post card. Then you don't have to add anything but the web address.
You click the postcard icon and get a popup.
You paste in the address of the pic.
You paste OK
Done
note:
Some hosting services also give you the address already enclosed in imag codes. If you have that then you can just paste that in your post.

Since this 'Posting Pictures' question comes up at least once every two weeks 
, how about a well-written sticky on the Service and Support forum and/or the Gallery forum.
Provide info about upgraded Bladeforums memberships which allow included attachments and sizing instructions, and also include photo hosting sites which are available and procedures.
It just makes sense. Sure you can search and find all of this in various places on BF, but let's help the members without dancing around.
Of course I am especially in tune with Knife Photo visuals. Then again, so is everyone.
I could be coerced if a volunteer is needed.
