I read the faq's about posting with an image, but I don't have the option to upload a picture, only to connect to an external link. Am I doing something wrong?

 

Either create a photo gallery here or google "free image hosting" and put your pictures on there. Then when you want to insert an image point it to the URL (web address) for that picture. It would look something like "http://msn.com/myimage.jpg"

 

I created an album and loaded up the pics, but I don't think it is working. Do you have to have a certain number of posts before the message board will allow you to post pictures?

 

It looks like you are posting an html link to your image or album page. You need to have the img tags on it.

Here is how it is done.

1. Upload your images to your album (looks like you have that figured out).
2. Click on an image from your album and there will be two boxes below the image. Click on the box labelled BB Code, right-click with your mouse and select Copy.
3. Go to your message that you want it inserted in and right-click with your mouse and select Paste
4. If you are linking to any other picture, here is the easiest way:
- If you are using Internet Explorer, right-click and select properties, highlight the entire address with your mouse, right-click and select copy.
- If you are using Firefox, right-click and select Copy Image Location, right-click and select copy.
- Go to your message and click on this icon When the little dialog box pops up you then paste that address into the box. It will automatically add the img tags to your image.

Nice truck, by the way.
