Here is some information that would make everyone's life easier by getting your pictures on the Internet! It's easier than you think.
A NEW site has come to my attention that is easier that the other ones listed. It is at http://imgur.com (http://imgur.com/) and you don't need to even register! Just make sure you remember the links, or sign up for an account. I would suggest getting an account (it's free) because you can review and manage your pictures needed.
The simplest way is to post your picture as an attachment here in the forum. The drawback to this is if you have a large picture, it will not let you upload it. When you go to start a new thread, scroll down and under " Additional Options" you will see a button that says "Manage Attachments". A popup window will open. Browse for the picture and upload it. If it was successful your file will be lister under "Current Attachments" in the same popup window. You can close the window when you're done uploading. You're done! Make sure to post where you are located and your asking price.
-- If for some reason you can't get that to work there are other options.
First, you need to pick a hosting site. There are a few free ones like http://photobucket.com (http://photobucket.com/) and http://imageshack.us (http://imageshack.us/) I personally use Photobucket, but both seem to work fine.
Register here (http://register.photobucket.com/)
After you pick your username and password it asks for more information like name, email, gender, etc. The only fields you need to fill out accurately are the email, and the captcha (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha)code. The other fields you can make up the information if you desire, but you cannot leave them blank.
After that, you're in! Now you are ready to start uploading pictures from your computer.
After you upload your pictures, it will display them as a gallery. Under each picture, it will have 4 different URLs for you to use. The one you usually want is called IMG Code. It will put the brackets you use to display the pictures right in your thread window. Note: if you have a high megapixel digital camera and the pictures are saved in very high resolutions, you will want to make the pictures into links. In this case, you will want to copy the Direct Link URL and place those into your new thread. This will prevent the massage from being stretched off the screen for people without 30" monitors.
To copy and paste, you need to highlight the URL (or any words in a web page) by clicking on it, or left clicking and dragging your cursor over the text. Then, you can either hold down the Control key on the bottom of your keyboard and hitting the letter C, OR you can right click and select Copy. Now, click in the body of your message and either hold down the Control key again and hit the V key, or again right clicking and selecting Paste.
Preview your new thread, make sure your pictures show up how you want them,and don't forget to post where you are located and your asking price. and you're done!
