How do I post pictures in a thread?

This has me beat,

I would appreciate an explanation simple enough for a **** to understand.

[ZEE]

for pictures on another site use the [IMG]url of picture[/IMG] tags.

For pictures on your hard drive you will need to upload them to a hosting site... I use Photobucket but there are others you can use as well. Once uploaded to the host, link them here using the [IMG] tags.

EDIT. Umh, that didn't work. I don't follow your explanation?

change 'url' in your tags to 'img'

How do I get my words to stop moving? I find this really annoying.

I just find a pic - copy the URL... now here in the message I click 'Go Advanced' and now in the tool bar above there is a button - insert image. now click on from URL and paste the link right there. click ok. now you have a image in post.

there is a keyboard shortcut

if you press alt-f4, the image dialogue box pops up

but, sometimes it is buggy and crashes my browser

if you have that happen, just try it a few times, it should work

something with cookies or, i dunno, not a code monkey

If you use the "Go Advanced" button, you will be sent to a page with more options than the "Quick reply" field. One of these is a button with a paperclip on it; hovering over it will show it is named "Attachments". Clicking it will open a window that allows you to upload files from your computer.
