If you don't want to go to the trouble of uploading to Photobucket first you can upload straight from your computer:

To show a photo or image in a post or reply, open a New Topic window, click Attachments below left of the post window (for a reply click Post Reply or Full Editor and Preview, not Quick Reply), then click Add files which will open your computer's file list, highlight a file (preferably in a .jpg, .jpeg, .bmp or .gif format), click Open at the bottom of the window, wait for it to upload and it should show the filename in the original post page, put the cursor in the post where you want the photo and click Place inline which will add the filename inside [ attachment] [ /attachment] code. You can Add files several times. (There is also a quicker option by dragging a highlighted file into the message box but it still seems to end up in the list below waiting for you to click Place inline.) Then Submit the post. You don't need to use [ URL] [ /URL] or [ IMG] [ /IMG] tags, no space after [ .

If the upload shows a message that the image is too large, it may be size in pixels or file size in KiB.

An Avatar in your Profile: The maximum size is shown on the page where you upload your image.

A Signature image has to be a website URL from a site like photobucket or Flickr with [ IMG] [ /IMG] tags, no space after [ , while attachments in the post and avatars can be uploaded from your computer.

Most computers have image software that can resize images and save with a .jpg or a .jpeg extension. Windows computers have "Paint" (search for mspaint.exe or paint.exe or Paint if you can't find the program).

[ IMG] [ /IMG] tags, no space after [ , are for photos or images from an external website, beginning with http:// .
