I use Image Shack to post my pics here. When I post them here you click on the pic and it takes you Image Shack to see the pics. Is there a better way to do this? I see other pics that are posted here and you click on the pic and it makes it bigger so you can see it or its already big and you don't have to do anything to see the pic. What do I need to be doing here to make it easier for ya'll to see my pics?

I am not familiar with image shack, but I know in photo bucket (where like the pictures for POTM are stored) it gives you a link so that you can put the link in a post to a picture and the picture will come up in the thread. You can also attach pictures to a post if you are in the "go advanced" reply section (instead of just typing in the quick reply box) or just setting up a thread.

typically copy image location is only on Mozilla Firefox. Internet explorer wont give you that type of option. If you want to try Firefox i recomend it, tons of people have made the switch to it. Also, TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting is another site. I like it because its basic. Upload a picture, take the 'direct link' and copy and paste. Then the link provided takes you to the picture only. Let me know how it goes.

The ImageShack coding isn't quite right in the links they give. The easiest way to do it is to use the "insert photo" button at the top of the message reply (it's the icon with the mountain in it), then use the IM code that ImageShack supplies. That way, you'll get something like this:

ImageShack® - Image Hosting Go there

Then if your loading picture off computer destop into a link so they can click it and view it. Then click on "single images", then click on resize image to w/e IF you want to. Then click "start upload" now sometimes It loads another window and the page you were just on - you need to go back to it. Rather or not that happens It should load up to like 3 or more boxes I believe, then copy and paste the link into the forum. Also I dont know from specific but some links are for other things. So you may need to do a test and test each box link... and then when you test on forum.. You can go back and see which 1 worked.. and use that one for now on. And if it dont just edit thread and delete it and re post or keep the other link on. Also remember dont delete or add anything to those links they provide.

Should be the way to do it been long time.
