How To Post Pictures
I have taken this from Ron A, a mod from over in the 3G TL forum. Since there have been a lot of recent questions about how to post images, I figured this would be helpful.
If you do not want to use one of the hosts listed below (photobucket or imageshack) you can PM me and I will host your images for you on my server.

If the pictures are too big, open Paint, click on Image, then click on Stretch/Skew, and reduce both dimensions by the same amount. I usually use 50%, but it depends on how big your picture is, and you can experiment with this a little.
Then upload your pictures to the host.
When you have posted them to the host, copy the IMG location and paste it into your post.
For more information on hosting pictures, check out this thread in 3G Photo Gallery. If you have any questions, post them there.
If you find anything that I can put in this post that will make it easier for others to understand how to post a picture, send me a PM.

Or from the TSX forum:
In order to post a picture in your posts, you need to follow these three easy steps:
1) Resize your photo and save it as a JPG.
- If your picture is too big (ie larger than 640x480 pixels) it will take too long for everyone to download and it won't fit on most people's screens.
- If you don't already have photo editing software, there's an excellent freeware utility called Easy Thumbnails that couldn't be any easier to use.
2) Host the photo on a webserver.
- If your internet service provider doesn't include web space, use Imageshack. There's no registration required and it's ridiculously easy.
3) Link to the photo in your post.
- You can either use the insert image button in the Post New Thread window or you can use IMG tags in your post like this (without the spaces):
HTML Code:
[i m g ] http:// www . your-picture-address.com/your-picture-name.jpg [/img]
That's it!
