Since this topic hasnt been addressed,
Go to an image hosting website, either Photobucket.com or Imageshack.com (I prefer photobucket). You will need to make a login account, which basically is an online book of all photo's that you have uploaded. When you upload a photo, it goes strait from your computer to photobucket and is in online storage, which means it can be accessed from any computer anywhere if you log in.
Uploading the photo on the site is pretty self-explanitory. Once you have uploaded a photo, if you scroll down, it will be in your "library" of photos. Just hilight and copy the URL below the picture, and copy and paste it on your post in the forums. To get the picture to show, you need to put an "[img]" in front of the URL and a "[/img]" behind the URL.
an example is this
[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/ ... /Adri1.jpg[/img]
thats how it should look when you enter it in. After its posted, however, it will show the picture instead of the url.

when its posted, it would look like this
If your image appears to be shrunk after you posted it, its because when you uploaded it to photobucket.com, that the filesize was too big, so it automatically shrunk it down to a smaller size. to avoid this, open the file in Microsoft Paint (which can be found by clicking Start, All Programs, Accessories, then Paint) Paste the picture in there, then hit File, and Save As, and when you give the file a name, also save it as the JPG filetype, which takes the less amount of room. You can also resize the image in Paint.
