Posting pix on the forum...
Is there a thread that explains how to post pix (that you take yourself) directly into a forum topic.
I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to computers but I have a digital camera & wanted to post a pic on the forum. If there isn't a thread on how to do this, can someone quickly explain how to do it. I will delete this thread if needed after the answer is given.
Thanks for your help!

I get your meaning but I was talking about a picture I took myself.
If I use my digital camera & take a picture & want to post it directly in the thread, how is that done? I was trying to get around posting a link. Or does what you typed above do just that & is not a link? (in the thread that is)
If that is the case, where do send or place my picture to be able to put it here? Am I making any sense?

Recently it's become harder and harder to find a site to host it that you could link to and have the actual pic come up and not the red X.

It is a Vbulletin option to allow embedding files/pics directly from you when you post. Geoff has it disabled, which makes 100% sense.

I find this infinitely preferrable to dealing with "free" picture hosting services that go down, remove your pictures, or go bankrupt.
