Don't worry. Took me ages to figure out how to post pix as well.
Start by creating a photobucket.com account. Upload a picture to it. Look for the IMG code to it (you'll see it once you upload). Cut n paste that into the body of a msg here and waa laa. Done.
You'll suss it.
I wanna see this 40. :wink:

Welcome aboard.

I'm not sure if doing that will insert it to a post here. Someone will correct me I hope. It looks like you can upload that way but it'll only go to the gallery you select instead of a post in a thread.
