Hi fraserm,
Here is one way you can post pics:
You have to register here (it's free):
http://photobucket.com/register.phpYou have to create an account then upload your pics from your pc. You can also resize them. You don't have to select to "Share" them.
To Resize them do this: After you upload, find and click on the pic. It should open in a larger window. Next click the Resize tab and select the size that you want to have in your post and say yes to the popup. After you are finished resizing click the Albums and Uploads tab and that will take you back to your main page. I think after you resize you can rename the pic someplace at the bottom of the screen. Tip: don't change the name of the file after you have posted the pic on the forum. If you do it will break the link and the pic will not show. Change the name before you post. You don't have to rename the pic, do it only if you want to.
To post the pic do this: Just click the image code on the bottom left (beneath the pic you want to post) one time with your left mouse button and that will copy it to your imaginary clipboard. Then when you are typing your post for the pics just right click one time and select paste. That will put the pic in your post.
Another tip for what it's worth, is not to upload to many pictures at one time to photobucket. Their servers are pretty busy with people like us uploading during the day so they tend to be slow sometimes. I would do a few at a time especially if you have dial-up.
Good luck :)
