uploading photographs to PH
Discussion
You don't, not as such.
You have to upload any images to somewhere else, such as imagebucket, flickr, or even UncleDave's hosting, and then insert them into posts with the tags [ pic ] [ /pic ] (without the spaces). There's a stick at the top of this photo forum called "Picutre Posting Guidelines" that should sort you out

Hi,
The site doesn't actually host the photos so you'll need to find a host - there's plenty of references to free hosts on other threads, like Photobucket. Once you've uploaded to your host then you put a link in your message on here like this [pic] xxxx [/pic] where xxxx is the URL of your photo but omit the spaces I put in there.

Sticky at the top of this forum should cover all you need and more!

Well, Dobbo, that's just the problem - it describes, and enters into considerable debate over, what one either can't or shouldn't do but doesn't once mention anything about how one actually posts a photo! 
And this despite the fact that someone asked that very question. The debate over image size just carried on ignoring the poor guy

When you've got your image to the right size, upload it somewhere. For the odd image or two use UncleDave's PH uploader - Which conveniently also describes how to do everything. For posting more images use a proper photo host such as flickr (quite common in these parts) or get your own hosting package and use that.
Good luck, look forward to seeing your pictures!
