for those who do not know how to post a pic or send a pic in a pm

[Hellblazer]

ok here is how you can do it. open paint shop, then open your pic. Choose save as
  then type in the name you want and select jpg
  once that is done, go to album on the top link of the forum
 
   then choose create album
 
  once that is done select upload/edit photos
  then use browse to locate your picture
  when you have done that you choose, go back to thumb nails, click on your pic and copy the url ( the adress you see after http://. Now you chose the reply option not the quick reply box.
 
   and you select the icon with a tree called insert/edit image
 
  now in  the pop up window you paste the url
 
  you enter a description and click insert and voila, its done.
 
  This also works with Pms

This is an excellent write up. Perhaps it should be stickied?

Great post, but I'd just like to add that to get the little tree icon (all those buttons, actually) as an option, you have to be in the Rich Text Editor, the button found in the lower left hand side of the screen after you select the quick reply (the reply button on the actual post you're replying to, not the window at the bottom of the screen).

I don't habitually use it, and thought perhaps others didn't either.

indeed, thats why i said not to use the quick reply box. You ahve to use the rich text editor.
