Help - how to post photos?

Is there a way of posting photos without using a third party photo hosting site, if presumably this is how you upload photos on this forum?

I have tried looking for instructions but struggling to find anything.

Can anyone help?

    Hi,

    you need to upload photie first to something like tinypic, then, left click on Direct Link, right click and copy.

    Now, back to message, decide where you want to insert photie, click on insertimage.gif, at top of message box, and paste.

    Edit: no need to sign up nor give email address.

    Thanks for this, I’d often wondered how it was done. I wanted to add a screenshot to a post and used TinyPic with Safari browser. Once photo uploaded I coped the IMG code for message boards and pasted into hyperlink box (don’t know whether I should have used the image box, will try that next time).
