First: You need to have some free space in your ISP's server or in Angelfire, 50Megs (could be better) etc.
You can also wrote the path to a pic which is already in net in some other site if you know its address (Usually when you right-click pic and select "Properties" it shows pics adress).

Move your pic to server using somekind ftp-program (Also IE4/5 and Netscape can "upload" data to server.

When your pics are there all you got to do is make a link here.
Check *UBB code is ON*

Sometimes you need to edit your message before photo appears. Just hit "EDIT/DELETE" and then "SUBMIT NOW"

These ( ) had to change to [ ] and then it works

ps. Please if your pic is big try to resize it or compress it

To resize or compress pics this one is handy little program IrfanView

Heres explanation of UBB code

Edit: Looks like I should buy a new kb...

Hi All,
Yea I-view is one of the little gems out there. I've been using it for some time now. One thing the latest version is 3.17 (Yours is behind that I think). The latest version has plugins for MP3's and load more. check out the latest version @ http://stud1.tuwien.ac.at/~e9227474/

I always carry it around on a diskette because it's so useful for Batch conversions from bmp to jpg etc.

Hi Ghosth,
Just for information "IRFANVIEW" is now up to version 3.30 the latest version does some amazing things if you download the optional Pulgin file.

Well worth a look for anyone who hasn't used this before.
