How exactly do you post them here, from a file on your PC?

To post a picture on this site you would need to set up a link similiar to this


img]http://www.myhost.com/files//Picturename.Jpeg[/img]

the IMG in brackets tells the system that you want to show an image.

The next part is the address for the system to look up the image, for this you will need to find a host for your pictures since they need to be accesible all the time so you can do this by uploading the piture required to your own web site if you have one or link to your own server if you have one or do what i do and use a picture host that you can download pictures to they will have an address for the picture that you put in after the [IMG] as above and then you have to put the name of the picture that you are linking to on hosts site.

The host i use for my signature for example is .

http://www.trenzhost.com

They host pictures in various formats GIF/JPEG or whatever for free although occasional site upgrades/maintenance may mean that your picture won't show on accasion but this is rare and infrequentand they do have a size limit as to how many pictures you can put up but you can take out one you no longer use and replace them.

It's very simple to set up and getting a picture that you want onto there site is very easy and takes no time at all.

Hint : Try to limit the file size of your picture use .jpeg and .gif settings as .bmp files are usually large and take ages to DL for those people that are still on 56k dial up.
