Question about posting images

[Vaporo]

I think that this is where I post this thread. After looking through the FAQ section of the forums, I still can't figure out how to post images from my own computer (I have some screenshots of a FAR aerodynamics boxplane that I made and want to post). The FAQ talks about images in attachments, but the box at the bottom of my screen says that I may not post attachments (Can anyone post attachments, for that matter?) I know how to post images from ULRs, so the only way I can see to post images would be to upload my images to other websites, then link to the image ULR. So, what do I do to post images that I have taken?

Please help.

You have actually answered your own question. You'll need to upload your pictures to a picture hosting site like imgur, photobucket, or tinypic. Imgur is pretty popular because of the album capabilities.

After you upload, place the URL inside img tags.

Thanks. I'll create an account then.

You don't need to create an account if you use imgur. You can upload directly to the main page, to include making albums. I didn't know that when I first started using it.

The only downside to not using an account on imgur is that after you post the image, it's basically out of your hands. They do give you a "delete" link that you can copy and paste somewhere (like into a word document), then you can use that link later if you want to delete a picture that isn't in your account. But you won't be able to change the subtitles and such.
