I realize that this should be simple, but would someone please tell me how to insert a picture?

the directions are different depending on where the picture is located.

i think you have to post your photo to a photo hosting sight such as imagecave.com which will give you a url for your photo, but i am not 100% sure about that.

I think tk gave a great suggestion, the first thing you need to do is get an image host account and they are usually free. Tk mentioned ImageCave, http://www.imagecave.com/, this is a good one. I also use Photobucket, http://www.photobucket.com/. Once you have the site you can upload the picture form your hard drive or a website right to you image hoster. Both hosters will allow you to modify the pictures, but in different ways. But both will give you the code to insert the picture into your post. It will be the code with [image] in the front of the whole thing. Highlight the line, press Control C for copy, go to your post, press Control V for paste and you are done. Nothing to it.

Yes. Thank you for your help. You too TK. Although, I think I'm still doing something wrong.

When I drag the IMG code to the forum tab(in Firefox) the tab does not open. I had to copy this image to my Bookmarks, then to my post. Any suggestions? :oops:

Highlight the image code, then COPY (CONTROL +C) go to your post and PASTE what you just copied (CONTROL +V) Drag will not work, this you already know.

Is this the picture you want for an avatar?

no. I just wanted to see if I could figure out how to post a pic. Have to find just the right thing for an avatar.

What's the file extension of your flier? Sounds like it'd not .jpg or .tif or .gif or .png which are the extension's that a picture would most likely be.

The reason I asked is because if you're trying to link a pdf file as an image that will not work (normally).
