I will try and help! It was expalined to me many times but I was a little dense, so here is what worked for me

• go to photobucket.com and open a new free account; upload your photos to photobucket.com
• open a new window and go to this website, post your thread
• in the messsage, there is a yellow square with two mountains, click on that
• go back to the photobucket window; highlight the url under your photo
• paste that on your thread, click on the yellow mountain again

I hope that makes sense! your url of the photo should start and end with IMG

You can also load up photos on to Dis on the photo board here

Or,

There is always the old fashioned way.
If your internet provider gives you some disk space to store whatever you want, you can do this:

Before doing the ftp command go to the directory, on your pc, which has the file.

ftp put_your_internet_providers_address_here, or use the address the internet provider has given you for use with file storage.

i.e. I use this
ftp upload.comcast.net

when prompted with username, enter your username
when prompted with passsowrd, enter your password


To copy the file to the internet providers disk, use the command put
i.e.
put filename_you_use_for_file_on_your_PC
This will put a file from your pc to the current directory on your internet providers disk.

Then you can display the photo in your discussion by using the following syntax:

"

"
home.comcast.net is the address of my internet provider
~eileenkeeney represents the directory where my files go
name_of_photo represents the name of the file which contains the picture.

Everytime I tried to just give the syntax, it displayed the picture. So I decided to print the syntax directly on a picture, making it part of the picture.
