I don't know either and have never posted a pic in my 20,000+ posts on the huddle.

But I'm sure others will be amused at our ignorance.

You can't post pictures from your computer, they have to be on a site like photobucket, etc. or on the web somewhere. Right click on the picture once it's on the web and click on Copy Image Location then paste that between or you can just hit preview post and then use the insert picture icon at the top of the page.

The same way as at "the old place"! :-)

I think there should be some kind of an award for 20,000 plus posts without a pic!

Go to your User CP located at the top of the page and hit change avatar under the your profile section. There should be a custom avatar location that you can enter that url into. That's it.

Google him, find the picture you want, save picture as.
Go to User CP, down to edit avatar, click browse and find the picture where you saved it.

Sign up for a free account. Begin uploading images.

Then the images will even have four types URL's you can copy for each image you upload. The last one will say IMG Code. Copy it and paste it in your post. If you want to post an image from another website right-click on the image and select "Copy Image Location." The paste what you copied in between .
