Posting pics is as easy or as difficult as you make it. Just a few simple steps:
1. Once you have uploaded your pic to your computer (I prefer a 480-640 size), upload your pic to the Gallery by clicking the "Gallery" icon at the top of the page, then clicking on "Upload File" link.
2. Click the "Browse" button to locate the pic on your computer. You can actually upload up to 5 pics at a time. Select the pic you want to upload, then click "Continue".
3. Fill in the File Title and File Description (if you so desire). Click "Continue" and you should receive a "File Uploaded Successfully" message.
You are almost done.
You should now see a Gallery Main Page, including your newly uploaded pic. Now...
4. Click on your newly uploaded picture. This will open up a larger view.
Right click on the picture, which will open an option box. In the option box, left click on Properties, and you will now see the URL of your enlarged picture. Copy the URL.
5. Now for the part that seems to be the trickiest! Once you are either creating a new thread or replying to a thread, once you have opened up the message box, click on the "Img" button at the top of the box. Paste the URL into the box, and then once again click on the "Img" box.
6. Scroll down and click the "Preview" button. The refreshed screen should now include your pic!
If you have any questions, PM me. I'm no expert, but I promise I will do my best to assist you.

For Mac users, follow Randy's instructions until #4. After clicking on your picture in the gallery to open it in a larger view, control-click on the larger picture and select Copy Image Address if using Safari, or Copy Image Location if using Firefox (you get the idea if you are on another browser).
Now follow Randy's instructions again from #5 - the image's address is in your clipboard.
