first you need some web space, then upload your images there, then include the URL in the [pic]brackets when you post.

My cut/paste link is:

[pic] http://autograph.uk.com/Pix/filename.jpg [/pic]

(I had to put the spaces in or else I got the famous red cross!) So 'autograph.uk.com' is the domain, followed by the path to the file and its name.

This is the best method, but you need your own domain and space. If you look on the Computing forum and track down JamieBeeston, he can help you out.

If you only want to host photos,, then a simpler answer is www.pbase.com

Nice pic!

(IMHO house in the background might have been better as sky/mountains/grandstand etc)

Ont thing worth remembering is that Ted's auto-resizing limits pics to 750 pixels wide. So it's best to resize your photos to that, or less, before posting - it saves filesize and you get better quality.
