How to post pictures?

[BendRick]

I've noticed in recent topics such as Orillia, that there are pictures. Yet when I write a message I see no option to insert pictures into the message. What's the deal?

Rick my tutorials are not yet consolidated.
But the quick and dirty answer is:
1. you can only display a picture that is already on the internet ... anywhere....
if necessary on your own web site. but setting up web space is fodder for yet another tutorial!!
2. having found your desired picture you need its web address (the URL)
usually by right clicking on the picture and selecting " properties"
3.Now armed with the URL you have the choice of doing it the hard way by hand:-
3.1.simply type then paste in the URL then type
or
3.2 look carefully under the text box and find the image link:-

click on "Image"
4.a "user prompt" box pops up

5.with the cursor in the text box where you want the picture to display
6.paste in your picture's URL over where it already says http"//
7. Press OK
8.. Press "preview" to ascertain that you wil be achieving your desired effect
9.. Press "add reply" or "ad new topic" as applicable
10. wait for the processing to complete
11. check your masterpiece when it appears
12.congratulate yourself
13.shout "eureka"
