You could, (I guess), try using imgur or any of the other image sharing sites,.. Go to the site, upload the picture you want to share in the forums, copy the link it will give you, (for forums, they can be specific in some instances),. and paste it into the post you want to include it in.

Any image you upload to the Internet has to be hosted.
Most peeps on here use the FREE:
http://www.photobucket.com
to host their pics, as it comes with forum code
which is thus (WITHOUT THE ASTERISKS):

[*IMG]http address goes here[*/IMG]

I have opened an account with photobucket..and successfully have uploaded a couple pictures to it. I am afraid I still need some direction to get a picture into a reply box such as this..
I have tried copying the link of the picture to the reply box, but no picture shows up, only the path.. I have tried copying and pasting, I have tried dragging..

If you have already uploaded your image to Photobucket,
congrats, that is the hardest part :-)

Now the easy part.
Click on the image and you will then see this grid on the right:

SHARE THIS PHOTO
Email & IM
Direct
HTML
IMG


You want to copy the ‘Direct’ address.
It can post directly to the forum.

Note, when you click on the Direct link, it auto-copies
(meaning no extra step to copy or highlight.)

Hope this helps, there is a practice thread pinned to
the top of the Help forum:

When using PhotoBucket you still have to take all the stuff away before the IMG and after the /IMG in order for it to come out...

When I went to 'direct', it sort of flashed 'copied'... but where did it copy it to? where is the picture? So its copied somewhere, how d I retrieve it?
I will try again..

That is why I explained the 'auto-copy' to you, hahaha, it is on your
paste just waiting for you to paste it somewhere, like in the forums,
or the test thread :-)

I use Photobucket and also use the IMG link. I don't have to delete or add anything. Just copy and paste and it works fine.

Humm it worked without taking anything away.. Sorry I was wrong...

There is a HTLM link and a IMG link click on the IMG it will tell you you have copied it then just paste it here..

This was in PhotoBucket

In Photobucket the only link that has ever worked for me is IMG. I left click it says copy and then paste it where I want it by right clicking and pasting. I rarely have problems but every now and then one won't work.

Sorry I keep trying to add to the link so you can see what the link looks like without it posting a pic. LOL it posts anyway.
There should be 4 rows of code.
Maybe try using another pic??

Did you upload the head vases into your bucket or find them on Photobucket? In order for them to work they have to be in "your bucket"
