Basically, your picture needs to have a url (needs to be somewhere on the internet..putfile, crfsgarage, etc.)

Once you have a picture out there, copy the url link and paste it in your post. After that, highlight the link by left clicking on it and dragging your mouse across the entire link. Then up in the controls of the post (choices in RED you will see a choice in a box labeled Img. Once you have your link highlighted click on the Img.

The link to your picture should look something like this:
[img]http:fjkasfjkljf.asklfjldfj.com[img]

While you're writing your post, it will continue to look like this example above. but once you submit your post (and if you've done it right) it should show your picture. Make sure you edit your picture down a bit so that it's not too big. I hope this helps. Not sure if I confused you more or not.

When you use something like photobucket, it gives you three lines below the picture to choose from, one is Url, one is Tag, and one is Img. Copy the Img line (Double clicking works as well) and paste it in the forum. Like nedirtbikr stated, it will look like the Url initially until you post it or hit the "Preview" button, then the image will appear. Obviously, if you delete the image from Putfile or Photobucket, we will no longer be able to see the image on the forum.
