Select your chosen image and save to your harddisk.
Create an account on Photobucket or similar picture hosting sites.
Upload you image to your picture hosting site.

Once uploaded, you will be issued with a series of access addresses, normally an Email & IM, a Direct Link , an HTML Code, and an IMG Code.
The one to use here is the IMG Code, the on that starts [ IMG] and ends [/IMG]

Copy the IMG Code from the picture hosting sites and paste it into your posting wherever you want it.

It sounds technical but is really very easy.

Thanks Wabbit, that explains a lot. I hadn't realised they were links  - thought they were sort of embedded images. like the little standard ones we get to use when writing replies.
