I just tried ImageShack, and it's working, but it is slow. It timed out on me once and gave me the error message "Document contained no data", so I started over, and it worked the second time. So, it may have been the website, but just in case... let me walk you through the steps to using it from the beginning. When you pull up ImageShack, this is the opening page you'll see:  You can click on the "Browse" button to search your hard drive for the picture you want to host. I usually save images that I just want to post quickly, and not save on my hard drive, to my desktop so I can find them quickly. For pictures you'll want to keep long-term on your hard drive, you'll want to save them to a special folder for pictures. So, depending on where your image was saved, browse your computer until you find the image, and then click "Host it". Depending on the speed of the website, it could take up to a minute for another page to come up that would look something like this:  From here, you can choose which option to use to post your picture. I usually go to the last link "Direct Link to Image", copy and paste that entire line, and place between the image tags (you can use this button  --just above the smilies--which will automatically put the tags in your post, and just paste the complete URL between the two sets of tags). Then, "preview" your post to see if the image worked. Give it another try, and see if it works for you.

My computer observes daylight savings time for some reason.
If you don't want your computer to observe Daylight Saving Time, double-click on the clock in your taskbar, select the tab "Time Zone" and unclick the the box for "automatically adjust clock...."  Those pictures are great! I'm impressed. Do you make money from your photography? If not, you should.

You have the ability to hug trees AND take pictures. LOL.
Yeah and I've been known to hug a cactus or two as well. I hope this thread comes in handy for any new members who, like me, may need a little more instruction when posting photos. Oh, and this was obviously a very cold morning. Hence, the frost on my beard.

Well, I have a page where it shows all my images that I've uploaded as thumbnails. Each of them has several buttons next to it ... like this:  If you click on the top button you get something that looks like this:  And if you uncheck the "Include details" box at top, you get this:  Just copy that top link, for "forums," and paste it in. No annoying links to Imageshack.com. And it doesn't tell you not to use it, either. EDIT: I've been using Imageshack for so long I can't recall, but I think that "My Images" page is a perk of being registered (free registration, not the paying kind).
