Unfortunately this site does not offer a photo gallery for us to use and link to. So if you want to share a photo with us you have to host it else where and link or embed it in the body of your message. I will give you an example of what I do.
I used to use Photobucket to host my photos. Now I use my Smugmug album. You can find these at http://photobucket.com/ or http://www.smugmug.com/
Photobucket is a free hosting site and Smugmug is only free for the first 2 weeks. You may like to check around and find a hosting site that is right for you. So sign up there or another site you know allows linking.

Then load some of my photos you want to share into your album, at your site of choice. Then going to the thumbnail view of the gallery at Photobucket you will notice 3 links options under each thumbnail. Using the 3rd one called "IMG" copy and paste that to the body of the text in one of the forums here. Or in smugmug you select the photo, click on "share" and then you simply click on the link size of your choice and it is automatically copied for you. Other sites may have slightly different methods; regardless though you will need to paste the link into the "Reply" area of the forum and it should look something like this:

Code:
http://ozphotos.smugmug.com/photos/479158662_twUTA-L.jpg


you will need to highlight this link by left mouse clicking on the left of the link and dragging the mouse over the link till it is all highlighted. The at the top of the reply square there are options of which one is caller "Img" (short for image.) With the link still highlight click on IMG and the link should now look like this

Code:
[img]http://ozphotos.smugmug.com/photos/479158662_twUTA-L.jpg[/img]


After also adding text for the photo you click on Submit (found below the reply screen) and the photo will then appear in the forum for all to view.
Please be sure to make the size of the photo 800pixels or less on the longest side.
If you have any further questions please just ask.
