Barry - I think I'll put up an 'admin' thread for a while on posting pictures. Might not get to it tonight, 'though.
We are away during those day, also, so you're OK.

Actually, John D. already did this, in the Help Forum - HERE.
BUT - the second part, about attaching images direct from your PC is out of date.
Nowadays, you have to click on 'Manage Attachments', below your post (use the 'full' reply method, not the 'quick reply' field).
Use the 'browse' button to find the image on your PC, THEN CLICK UPLOAD (I always forget that!). Once it's uploaded, click 'close window', then 'submit' (or something like that).
Note that the image needs to be below a certain file size, 140kb IIRC. Oh, 146.9kb actually - I just checked.
Also, whilst there will be lots of screen resolutions being used, try not to use images which are too big in terms of pixels. Personally, I tend to size them to 768 pixels across.
Resizing of images can be done with all sorts of imaging software, or 'Paint' which (I think) most versions of Windows have. If you use 'Paint', be sure to 'save as' a JPEG rather than a memory-sapping BMP.
