   Per request from last nights meeting I will try to provide some information on how to post your pictures into your actual messages and replies.
   First you need to open a "free" account with some sort of photo sharing web site. The two that I , as well as most of the people on the other 6 forums I use, have had no problems with are Photobucket ( http://photobucket.com/) and Webshots (http://www.webshots.com/). I would recommend Webshots for this forum, see note on link to message below. You then can upload pictures from your pc/mac to the site of your choice and create folders and albums to share with friends and family.
   Once you have photos uploaded you will need, or its easier for me, to have 2 windows opens with the TVFF site on one and the photo sharing site on the other.
   While in the message text box on the TVFF Forum site you can insert a picture into the text in or at the end of a sentence at any time. I recommend that you insert the picture on a new line by itself, you can see an example in the link below to one of my older messages of it done both ways.
   On the photo sharing site there will be a "Share this Picture" icon button somewhere close to each picture. Photobucket is automatic, just pass the cursor over the pic and your options appear in a popup box. Webshots is a little different; you have to click on the photo you want to share, it opens in a new page with several options. There is a row of icons at the bottom right of the pic, run the cursor over the icons until "Copy the code.. to post on a forum" message pops up. A new page opens with 3 options select the bottom one.    
   Right click and copy, then return to the TVFF window and paste inside the text box. With 2 windows open you can attach multiple pictures.
  I hope this helps, I know there maybe more ways to do it but this works for me.
   Please check out the message that I edited for this How To Cool
