A detailed DIY for hosting/posting pics

here it is.. if anyone needs it.

step 1 - go to www.imageshack.us



step 2 - click on the 'browse' button and find your picture, then click "open" in the picture browsing window



step 3 - click the 'Host It!' button in imageshack



step 4 - now, imageshack will take you to a new window. go to that window and scroll down to the code that says "direct link to image." in my case, it looks like this: http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/6209/img6721ky2.jpg ...select it, and go to edit-->copy



step 5 - go to the forum, and go to the reply window. on top of the box where you type your text, there should be an icon that looks like a yellow picture with some mountains and a sun or whatever. click on that. a new mini-window should pop up, and this is where you put the "direct link to image" url. go to edit-->paste to paste the code in there, and click ok.



step 6 - post your reply.



final product:

Thanks,
Kris,

If there's an upload error, then that's a problem with Photobucket.. should be fixed and operational soon.

I figured out....
Thanks anyway
