First, you'll have to have the pic you want saved on your computer, which is pretty straight forward. Then you'll go to an image hosting site such as http://www.photobucket.com but I'll make my tutorial with http://www.tinypic.com since it's a bit simpler to use. Once you're there, you'll see this:

Click on the 'Browse' button that I made an arrow pointing to. When you click that, this will come up:

This is a directory of all your files. I'm pretty sure you know how to navigate this..if not, let me know and I'll add to this tutorial =)

When you find the picture you want to upload, right click on it and then click 'Select'.

Once you've clicked 'Select', you'll see the image name appear in the box here, and then click 'Host Picture'.

After you've clicked that, your image will be uploaded! (If it doesn't work, tinypic.com must be down and you'll have to try again later). If everything is successful, you'll see this:

The four boxes here are very important:

The first box is a link to where you can view your picture. The second link is an HTML code you'd use to insert the picture if you were making a website or something with this type of coding. The third link is BB Code which you use to post images on message boards (like F18). In the fourth box is just another link to view your pic. If you want to post the image here, you'll only need to focus on the third box. Highlight the text in the third box and copy it:

Then paste it into your post here:

And you're done!! =)
