Do you have server space? If so, you upload your image to the server and use a very simple HTML tag to display that image:

<img src="[ADDRESS AND NAME OF IMAGE]">

Does this make sense to you? If you need further clarity, please let me know and I'll take you through it step-by-step.

You simply paste the entire image address in the message box.

You should know how to do this since you just stated that you understand HTMLs.

I tried to PM you, but it seems that you don't accept PMs. If you turn that feature on in your personal settings, I can continue explaining there, otherwise...

Those are ISP (Internet Service Providers) and you may or may not have disk space on their servers. There may even be an opportunity to store your images on BroadwayWorld's servers, but I have never done it that way, so I don't know. (If anyone knows, please chime in.)

So, if you have a personal website, or have an arrangement with your ISP to have personal disk space, its easy. If you don't, you'll need to arrange with someone to either rent or use their space. (I have server space, so you may contact me, if you'd like.)

Once you have server space (you might even have some with Apple), you have to upload your image to that server. For the Mac there are several programs that will allow you to do this. If you don't have reason to invest in an "editor" like Dreamweaver, you can use a far more simple product like, Fetch. There may even be a free version.

Using your FTP - or other protocol - program (Fetch), you logon to your server and upload the image to that server. I recommend putting the image in a directory (folder) that you label, "BroadwayWorld", or perhaps "ForumImages" - you choose.

So, now you have your image uploaded and therefore on the Internet. The HTML code you use is repeated here:

<img src="[ADDRESS AND NAME OF IMAGE]">

You don't actually type the "[" and "]"...

In trying to create this, I just learned that it will automatically add the HTML tag. Just put the full address in your message window and it will do the rest.

Clear yet, or more questions?

Of course, if the image is already on the Internet, just type in the full address and you're good.

Very simple: Have whatever image you want on your desktop> go to imgur.com> drag the image from your desktop onto your browser window showing imgur.com until the window becomes gray and the word "upload" appears> release the image> click "upload"> Copy the link from "Direct Link (email & IM)"> paste in either the "Optional Image" box OR just anywhere inside the "Message" box.

And yet all of this sounds far more complicated then it need be. There are a gazillion apps and websites out there were adding a photo is a simple as copy/paste. (Granted, I'm not the best with computers and HTML and all that crap, so what the hell do I know?)

I didn't answer because I don't have a mac, but what ljay said is what I do. It takes like 2 seconds.

Right click on the image, copy the image info and past in the thread.

The only thing I notice and sometimes get caught out is it doesn't support other file types (e.g. png).

Or upload via tinypic.com so you don't use someone else's bandwidth.
