1) The forum software DOES now support uploading of images directly, and we have enabled this feature for paid-up MCA members. All others can still use the method described below, utilizing a 3rd-party host.
2) Counter to what I first wrote ten years ago, Photobucket has recently become a HORRIBLE solution for image-hosting. The capability they provided for years for free now costs $399/year. There are better, less expensive (i.e. free) solutions. See these threads (and many others like it) for some alternate suggestions... viewtopic.php?f=19&t=32230

(Nov 2018 Update.... Photobucket has updated their policy and backed off the idea of trying to sell 3rd-party hosting for $399/year. Apparently it's free again, they just add a watermark to any images)

This question comes up from time to time, so I thought I'd make it a "sticky" post here in the Photo section - seemed like the most logical place to me.

First off, you can NOT directly include/attach a picture to a forum message here; the photo MUST be hosted (i.e. uploaded), to another site first. The most common one is www.Photobucket.com If you don't have a photobucket account, just go to the site and create an account - it's free and relatively simple.
Once you have your Photobucket account in place, go ahead an upload any pics there. Again, it's relatively easy.
With your pics uploaded, each one will be given it's own web address, which will appear underneath the picture. There's actually four different versions - the one we want to use is the one entitled "IMG code". This one has the correct header/footer "pre-installed", so you simply need to cut and paste that link into your message where you want the picture to appear. As a result, no need to click on the "Img" button at this site at all.
To cut and paste....
1) Highlight link text to be copied from the Photoshop page
2) Hit Ctrl-C (this copies the text to memory)
3) Go to the message you're drafting and locate the cursor where you want the picture to be inserted
4) Hit Ctrl-V
To include multiple pics in the same message posting, just repeat the process.
