Upload your pic to programs like photo bucket . Once u do that it gives u a Web link to the pic . This is the location that u need to copy and paste into topic

Also for pasting from a PC you have to use Ctrl+V not sure about Mac OS but right click on a mouse using windows doesn't give you the paste option on here ( or at least doesn't on my pc )

Use [ img] tabs with the www... url between them ( remove the space between the [ and img or / and no spaces either side of the url ) [ /tab]

Not sure about p/bucket use. I use paint on my p/c  method used to re size pictures.
Right click on picture this opens a dialog box click edit. After edit a second box opens showing 100  type in the size you need  then click the ok box. A second box appears re title the picture and save in the file you wish to use. In mayhem click on the attachment  box of your post this opens browse  click on browse find the picture you need click open and the pictures are there. I use windows 7 and paint is included with this system. This option may not suite everyone but I find very easy to use good luck with your picture's

To add pictures, just click on "Attachments & other options" below the message Window.

From there select "Browse". It will then allow You to select pictures from anyplace on Your Computer.

Click "more attachments" if You wish to add multiple photos

see picture(s), attached below;

Alternatively - if you have Microsoft office, to resize a picture before posting it, right click on your picture and look for 'OPEN WITH', then select the Microsoft Office 2xxx with the red square icon, it should open an application that when you select the picture drop down menu, will allow you to 'resize' the picture down to about 1200 x 1200, when you close the application and save the picture, just check its below the 300kb in the folder the picture is in, just make sure the picture or folder is on the desktop (makes it so much easier to find when you post and click attachments, that when you browse you find the picture or folder when you look for the desktop, as in the picture above).

I just want to say, the worst thing about Photo bucket, or Image shack, is that the
service may eventually time out your links, and any photos you link will  " die ".

If you did a really great build thread, and linked all your photos to
highlight how a process was done, it will eventually look like this.
