Haha its not a problem.. Heres a how-to for you..!

(May seem complicated, but its really not at all.. and they load faster than Photobucket's do..)

To post a picture on a thread do as follows:

(File must be smaller than 1.53MB and can be jpg, jpeg, png, gif, bmp, tif, tiff, or pdf file format.)

1. Save picture file to your HDD.

2. Open your browser and go to: ImageShack® - Image Hosting

3. On the top right click "Choose file" and find the picture on your HDD to be uploaded (hosted.)

4. Go down a little and check the box "resize image?" then select your resolution that you would prefer (640x480 and larger is recommended.)

5. Then click "Host it!"

(In a few seconds a new page will appear with multiple thumbnail code URL's.)

6. Scroll about halfway down (under the advertisements) and uncheck the box "Include details"

7. Then just below that box there is the thumbnail code for "Hotlink for forums (1)" click that line and press Ctrl+C (to copy that code.)

8. Next, just go back to the thread you are posting on and in the message box (wherever you want the picture to go in the text) press Ctrl+V (to paste the code.)

There you have it! Hosted pictures without having to "attach files" on here!
