Something changed with the hosting here because you used to be able to upload directly here and it would show up, but that adds to the bandwidth consumption and some hosts don't like to do it that way. I'd think with John's deep pockets he could afford to let the few guys who post here to upload, but it's not my money. I belong to another site where we as members contribute to the hosting fees to offset our photo fetishes.

I use Imgur for hosting then link to the photo there. You can upload your photos and keep them private, then go back and there's a dot thingy in the upper right hand corner of the pic where you can get the pic with bulletin board code added. It would look like this:

[Picture]www.imgur.com/Jim'sphoto[/Picture].

Where the "picture" tag tells the software you're posting a photo, and the link leads to the photo.

If you decide to go with that solution, let me know and I'll walk you through it.
