I have an imageshack account, so can someone explain to my ignorant self how to make posts with images attatched? I know how to do links, but I want the pic to appear with the post. Thanks for any help.

I do not have an Image shack acct, but the way photo-bucket works (I'm hoping it's similar), you have 4 options to cut and paste. One is for a link, one is for the pic, etc...
Do you have an option with the
tags around it??
If not, try putting them there, or clicking the little stamp looking thing with a mountain on it above your "reply" screen. That icon will automatically put the img tags on the URL you put in it.

Yes, if you upload the pics somewhere else, you don't need to attach them on SWF's site. Just copy and paste the
tag (basic HTML languange FWIW) as mentioned above.

Yes, I have the options as you stated, but where exactly do you copy & paste them? In the body of the message? Won't this just appear as a link? And forgive me, but I totally do not understand the stamp on the mountain thing.

Or not. I was able to post a pic, but it was a very small pic that posted. Not quite what I was looking for. Back to head scratching.

If you saved a thumb tab to your acct, that's the size it will be. But if you save a full size pic, and you should have a "size to save pics" option in your image acct, if that size is not set for avatar, then you should be good to go.
You obviously will not need it, but to clarify... when you hit "reply" look just above the box your typing in. All the different little icons that SWF provides. One of them looks like a posage stamp with a mountain on it...

Tizzo, that was it. I mistakenly had the thumbnail code enabled.
See my success here:
