No problem, First you need to host your picture, I like http://www.imageshack.us/ Then you just copy the picture URL into the picture tags using the menu above the message text box on this forum.
Ie [img]copy%20url%20here[/img]

Hope this helps.

thanks for the info, sorry i'am a bit slow on computer stuff. the system i us is gadwin for my screen shot's. so might i ask for a complete dummies instruction step by step of how to incorporate photo's. i bet it 's very easy once first done.

I guess you know how to make your screenshots at your own PC.

I use an internet-site called photobucket: http://www.photobucket.com.

You go to the site,
Register.
Then you'll be able to upload your wonders to your online album,
From here you will be able to refer to your picture as stated by Jonesey.

But beware, a few tricks:
Save your screenies in jpg-format to save file-size.
Reduce your images to 800x600 BEFORE uploading

If you do like this, all will be bliss...good luck.

Hi David
Start with opening a account at a online photo sharing website.
I use http://photobucket.com/ and Jonesey suggested imageshack
the instruction on the web pages are fairly straightforward
:think: I started to write you some step by step instructions and found I was simply rewriting theirs.....
I was a bit lost at first, but a cup of coffee a smoke or two
and that was that,
give it another go and if your stuck make another post and I'll
(we) give ya a nudge...
did you have something like this in mind you wanted to post?

:k: :k:
Joe
Late edit:
I must give credit where credit is due
Leif and Garry help me too........
and others, these guys are very helpful

Hi David

I use Photobucket as well

It's easy to use

Make the pics 800x600.......I use 96dpi

ahh haa, now it comes clearer. the forum does not host the actual photo's, you place in another place and then everyone can access them. i'll have a look today and see what i come up with. lovely shot of the sabre, who's repaint.
