I tried so many things and I can't figure it out.

Upload your picture to an online photo sharing site.  I use photobucket.  Once it is uploaded there will be a button to press that will pop up image sharing links.  Copy the one labeled IMG and paste that link into your message.  The link you paste will be really long.  When you post the message the picture will appear.

Store the pictures on a photo server that you can remove the pictures from if you no longer want them displayed. Photo bucket is the one I use. Get the url where the picture is stored and then insert into your text. Remove the space from the example. If you quote this message, you will see my example but the first img may have additional information added by the software when the image was saved.

Steps are:
-looking for a picture hoster.
For example http://tinypic.com/  (no login necessary)

uploading photo
a link is given then for the photo and depending on the hoster a second one for a deletion

putting the link in img tags and using it in postings and in messages (remove the X then it works)
[imgX]http://photobucket.com/...[/img]

If you want to remain anonymous:
-look at your account with the hoster. Its possible you have other private photos there which might be visible.
-deactivate gps data when taking photos and the camera has this function, and/or delete exif data from your photo.. gps data might be stored in the exif part, there are tools to remove that.


*hugs*

It should look exactly like this:

when you post, it will display properly.



I know Dena is dissecting my post at this very minute to see how I did that.

Not this very minute but I am dissecting it because I have been trying to figure that one out for a while.
