How Do You Post Images In Your Message?

[[old] dougsurf]

Maybe I'm just not net savy at all, but this little button right above here where I'm typing says "insert image", and then requires a "complete URL" of the image. Now every such inserter that I've ever used had you specify a bitmap, .tif, or whatever type of file, and usually helps you browse for it, but never have I been asked to enter a URL of the image. Do I need my own webpage to store such images on first?<br /><br />This must have been asked about before, but I find the search function and the help menu on this site pretty worthless as well.<br /><br />Thanks, if you can help,<br />Doug

Photos don't age off there (unlike Photobucket). Flickr is also free and will automagically resize your photo for you.<br />

<br /><br />Another with which I am very happy is<br /><br /><a href="http://www.imagestation.com/" target="_blank">http://www.imagestation.com/</a><br /><br />I have not used it to post to this forum but find it very good for sharing photos with family and friends. They also provide prints at a very good cost<br /><br />john
