    First thing is you must have your image hosted somewhere on the internet.. This can be ***boatimage center or elsewhere, doesn't matter. What you can't do is have it on you own computer and have it appear in a thread.
    Assuming you done the above...
    Bring the image up on screen wherever you have it hosted (we'll assume ***boat image center for now).
    Right click on the image
    A drop down menu will appear at the bottom will be properties
    Click on properties.
    A window will popup showing information on the photo.
    One of the thing will be the URL address which starts with http....
    Highlight the address (starting with the http) with your cursor
    Go do edit on your tool bar (edit) and click "copy" (this copys the address you just highlighted to the clipboard on your computer)
    Now go to the thread you want to post in (a second window open is handy for this)
    When you post you will see a series of buttons at the top of the posting window.
    Click on IMG.The button at the top with the mountain on it.
    A separate window will pop up that will have http.... in it. The http... will be highlighted. Hit delete. Now the box will be blank.
    Now go to your tool bar again (edit) and click on "paste".
    This pastes the address of the picture (which you copied earlier) into the little window.
    Click done or whatever it says to complete. You will now see the image address code appear within your posting window.
    Its important you only have one http series within your IMG tags which is the reason we hit delete above. Otherwise you end up with two and it won't work.
    When finished your code should look something like this (with no spaces) and substituting [ ] for my ( ).
    (IMG]http://yourpictureaddress[/IMG)
    You can type message above or below the IMG tags but don't disturb them or anything between them because that is your picture address code.
    In other words you could have...
    --------------------------------
    Hi, this is my boat
    (IMG]http://yourpictureaddress[/IMG)
    For more info call such and such.... and so on.
    ------------------------------
    In the above example one line of text would appear above your photo and one below. The part between the IMG tags is your photo.
    hope that helps.

    Stole this from another post:
    ya gotta post 'em in the Image Center, the Image Center can be found off ***boat.net .or click this link http://www.***boat.com/image_center/index.php .
    Sign up for an account. Upload your photos from your PC. Use the 'Uplink Photos' link then the Browse button to find them on your PC. Hint...if you have large picts, resize them first. Nothing larger than 1024x768 although 800x600 or something is good too.
    After the pict is uploaded click it open all the way. Place your mouse on the pict, do a right click, select Properties. Use your mouse to select the Address (URL) then do a right click, Copy.
    Go back to the forum. Open or create the thread where you wanna post.
    Type in some text or whatever then position the cursor where you want the pict inserted. Press the
    button.
    A new box will open. Do a Control-V to paste that URL you copied earlier. Hit OK. You'll see a string surrounded by IMG tags. Preview it then post it. That's it
    I will be trying to post some in a few.

    Apparently my computer took my last signature line comment seriously... My cd drive just crapped out . I've been dealing with this POS computer for 3 years, I think I am going to have to upgrade VERY soon.

    HB Image Center will only allow pics up to a certain size to be posted. Check the post at the top of Hot Spots West. You can resize those pics using a Photo program. You should already have one if you have a newer computer. If you have a digital, it probably came with this kind of software. Another alternative would be to post them at hotboatpics.com. I don't believe they need to be a certain size over there.

    Have been trying to get the POS computer to let me post, but the CD drive won't recognize the disc's with my pic's on them (these things happen when you are still running Window '95!!) . Will have to burn them onto a floppy at work and try again. Wish I could get to ***boat from work, but the firewall is TIGHT. Will have some pic's up by this weekend, (I hope).
