I use photobucket to host them, it's free. Once uploaded onto the site I just copy the top reference (?URL?) and click image see above photo in the BBC tags bar (When you are typing a message like I am now). Then control+ V ( a shorthand for paste, the URL turns up between the codes then preview and post...
Works for me, although I had techie son talk me through it several times..

If you merely copy and paste the third line under your picture in Photobucket, you do not need to go anywhere near the Image tag in the BBC tag line. The line in PB is labelled Img.

I deliberately missed out the first [ bracket on the Img line to show you what I mean.

The easiest way is to make a donation (http://www.allotments4all.co.uk/joomla/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,91/action,profile/sa,subscriptions)!
