Tommy, can you hear me?
Sorry-I couldn't resist! That's probably an old one.
I recommend Photobucket. The URL is http://photobucket.com/
You can upload photos there, and their page is designed to generate the tags that you need to link your photos in various ways. They show the appropriate URL for each picture, with the tags to reference it, in a post here, for example, as an image, or even as a hyperlink that would take the reader to your Photbucket page. Very handy, and it's free, until you reach a specific volume of data, then there is a fee.
Hope that helps, prosit!
Brad

Yo Trooper, when you save a photo you should create a photo file in your documents, mines named My Pictures. Every PC should have its own photo software programme mine again is Photo Imact 10. So when I take a photo say its 314KB and save it to my pictures file. Then I right click it and send it to Photo Impact 10. Once there it shows you the size of the photo pixel wise, and you should be able to lower the pixel size until its low enough to put on forum under 97 KB Jpeg. It just takes a bit of practise. So Buck up Trooper & get Practising. Practise makes perfect.

By all means use Photobucket. If needs be, you can find a number of threads on using it here by searching the name. You will likely never reach their free picture limit. There is absolutely no reason to limit yourself to the size limits on direct posting required by most sites, including this one.

You can also create albums here, upload your photos and then post the links into your message.

Try using Photo Bucket! Here are some instructions I posted awhile back that should help you!
http://photobucket.com/
I,ve been asked many times how to use photo bucket to add photos to posts on the forum so I decided to just make a how to thread.
Photo bucket is free to use and you can store tons of photos on it and post links to your photos so that others may veiw your photos.
To get started you,ll have to sign up and start an account with them. I posted a link to the site at the top of the page. Just follow the directions on the site to start your account, its easy.
Now that your signed up now, you,ll need to log in with the user name and pass word you have choosen!
Once you have loged into your account you,ll see a box at the top of the page with 3 boxes that say BROWSE, Click on these to search your computor to find the photos you want to upload to the site.
You can add(upload) one photo at a time or more if you wish. There are 3 Browse boxes but there is also an option button that says add more photos you can click if you wish to add more but lets just up load one photo for now to get the hang of it.
So here we go lets add some photos now that your logged in!!!
Click on the Browse button! This will open a box to search your computor and access Your photos or your documents or where ever you have your photos.
Find the photo you wish to add and click on it and then hit the open button. Now just hit the UPLOAD button on the photo bucket site just under the browse buttons and in a few seconds your photos should now be on the photo bucket site!!!
Now that you have your photos on the photo bucket site, you can now post a link to your photos to add them to your posts here on the forum or any where else on the internet.
Heres how you do that!!!
Under all your photos in your photo bucket account are 4 small boxes, you need to click on the 4th box down that says IMG code. When you click this box it should flash real fast COPIED.
Now all you need to do is make your post on the hobby bunker forum and when your ready to add your photo to your post just right click your mouse and a box will open! just look for PASTE and click on it and your photo will be added to the post.
Just rember to click the enter key on your keybord before and after you add your photo to keep the photo from running into your typed post. and if you add more then one photo click the enter button after adding each photo.
Start with just one photo to get started to keep it simple and it might be a good idea to print out these instructions on a piece of paper to make it eaier to follow along as you try your first photo. This is really easy once you get the hang of it and you,ll be posting photos without even thinking about it before you know it.
To add more then one photo at a time you should open a second window and just go back and forth between the photo bucket site and the hobby bunker forum because you can only copy and paste one photo at a time.
Good luck!!!
Now lets see some photos guys!!!!
