Hi Jean,
Below is the instruction that I've posted on my triporteur forum:
If you want to start new forum categories
1) for photos of vehicles at events and
2) for photos of member's vehicles,
this is the easiest way to do it. Please feel free ot cut and paste this posting of mine to start those categories.
ie you're welcome to use the instructions below in a 'sticky' and hopefully more folks can upload pics.
Alternatively, I'm happy to amend this forum for you as above, if you want me to attend to occasional admin duties for you.

Post subject: HOW TO ADD A PHOTO TO YOUR FORUM POST
Posted: Sun Feb 25, 2007 8:11 pm
To add a photo to this (or any other) forum, you need to use a third-party website such as Photobucket.com.
Go to the website, and follow the instructions there for uploading a digital photo stored on your own computer.
If you look at Photobucket.com as an example, you'll see that under the photo you have uploaded are 3 names, in boxes titled url, tag and img. The bottom one (img) is the one you need.
IT WILL LOOK LIKE THIS:
[img
http://title of your photo /img]http://blotto.jpg /img]
this is a link that picks up where your photo is stored on the internet, ie in a folder at the photobucket website.
Now start a new post in the forum (or edit one of your existing ones). Maybe add some text, eg
Hi, my name is Otto and here's a picture of my Blotto
and on a new line, add the above title of the photo that you copied from photobucket, below your relevant picture, eg
[img
http://title of your photo /img]http://blotto.jpg /img]
click on PREVIEW
Miracle of miracles ...your photo appears in your posting! like this:
Hi, my name is Otto and here's a picture of my Blotto

Essentially, a forum cannot host (store) your photo, but the title you have copied and pasted into your forum post is a link to where your photo is stored in cyberspace (in this case photobucket.com). You could link it similarly to your own website.
When you upload your photos from your computer to Photobucket it automatically resizes them to the maximum size it allows. And it's free.
If you're not yet totally familiar with internet tasks, this is a great exercise for practising and learning more about how things work inside the cyberspace engine.
Good luck!
